The Heart of La Paz is its vibrant beachside boardwalk. The malecón provides an array of diversions and entertainment. Local street markets, fine dining, sculptures, play grounds, piers and bars, all will enjoy walking or biking along. Our reception venue Baja Club Hotel will be located on the malecón
If you have additional time in La Paz consider booking a guided boat to visit the local ocean life. February will be peak for humpback whale calving season, whale sharks will also be in the region. In our visits to La Paz we've shared happy memories of visiting sea life we have swum with sea lions, whale sharks, snorkeled with fish, and seen whales, dolphins, manta rays etc. Tours are usually a day or half day excursion. There are many available options on the malecon; we have had good experiences with Choya Tours, Baja Offshore, and we would be happy to assist you.
A Famous beach with a long shallow bay and calm clear water. There are many beaches in the area but this is the most iconic so arriving early is recommended. There is also a lovely hike that over looks the beach.
