Top Reasons to Go

Water Sports: Surfers, sailors, divers, and fisherfolk flock to both sides of the peninsula to get their adrenaline fixes in the Pacific and the Sea of Cortez.

Beaches and More: Year-round sunshine, pampering spas, and miles of sandy beach make Baja the perfect winter escape.

Epic Migrations: Gray whales mate and calve in three lagoons on the peninsula's west coast. Migratory birds return to Baja California from December through April.

The Open Road: Explore Baja Norte's starkly beautiful landscapes and remote beaches, and meander through tiny villages along the southern part of the peninsula.

The other California's finest wines: The Valle de Guadalupe, near Ensenada, is a gorgeous valley filled with vineyards and inns with unpretentious hosts.
