Pacific side between Ensenada and Todos Santos
Hi,
We usually travel on the Sea of Cortez side from the border to Loreto or La Paz during the summer. I know it's hot, but when you're in the water its
not nearly as bad! This year we want to explore more of the Pacific side. Thinking we'll stop at Erindira, Punta Abreojos and maybe Asuncion. We like
to surf, fish and walk the beaches. We were at Scorpion Bay earlier this year so it's not on the list. We'll stay in hotels/ rentals, not looking to
camp. Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Jennifer

Nice new hotel in Abreojos....600 pesos per night.... La Bocana is an option as well. New owners of the B&B in Asuncion. They had an ad here
not to long ago.

How good is your vehicle? You can run the 130 mile stretch of Central Baja known as the Seven Sisters. All graded roads, just need a decent 4x4.
Some of the best coast line in Baja you'll ever see.
Couple pics of the area.

Doesn’t sound like their “vehicle “ has wheels
Pretty hard to sail your route

I said the heat isn't as bad when you're in the water. Maybe he thought I was in a boat. No such luck- I meant sitting/ floating/ swimming in the
water!

A graded road is typically 2WD friendly in dry weather.
The Seven Sisters coast has a big, non-graded, 4WD section between Puerto Canoas and near Punta Cono. Just north of Punta Cono is a section of silt
dust, as well. I logged the roads last year:

I thought you might be in a boat too!
rts551 I am suspect but I agree with your suggestions LOL
Please visit us in La Bocana we have a bnb, and I really think Bahia Asuncion and Punta Abreojos are great villages.

You might as well explore all the villages in our area and take the route from Asuncion through Pta.Prieta, San Hipolito to La Bocana & Abreojos.
Air down for a more pleasurable experience.
If it's beach walking you enjoy there are a kazillion kilometers of beach here. My personal favorite long beach walk is the San Roque beach, 15
minutes north out of Asuncion and if you are here on a weekend the worlds best shrimp tacos at TAcos Don Ramon AND universe's best homemade hamburgers
at SAul's Casa de Hamburguesa in Asuncion. Stop by and see us too while you are in the neighourhood out here at la Bufadora Inn.
The Pacside wont disappoint you...especially our awesome weather and waves! If you are here the first weekend of August Asuncion has it's surf
tournament too and the Traditional Fiestas are Aug. 16-19 with lots of fun events.

OK, I got it,
It just seemed that "travel on the Sea of Cortez side" wold likely not be on land.
The land portion between Gonzaga and Loreto is not exactly conducive to traveling on wheels. (except between LAB and San Franciscquito)
Anyway, both sides are great!
We just did the "Giant Circle" last month, down from Mexicali to LA Bay, then across and bottomed out at San Ignacio, then back up the Pacific to
Punta Falsa at the tip of BCS.
Great trip.... all Baja trips are great trips

Does anyone know of those areas can be traveled by regular car/2WD drive as many people don't have 4WD? I'd like to see more Baja routes which
non-4WD can take. I travel alone so don't want to get stuck somewhere.

Seven Sisters "might" be possible w/o 4x4, but I personally wouldn't try it.
There are tons of 2WD routes in Baja though.

The vast majority of roads to places you may want to see are passable in 2WD. 4WD is best to have always... it is insurance and peace of mind in the
backcountry. Where 4WD shines is in the sand and on steep grades, or over deep ruts. With 2WD, just one of the two drive wheels spinning in sand or
off the ground can halt forward movement. A 4WD has double the traction and greatly increases your travel ability. With a locking differential or
traction control, even more mobility is possible.
Want to explore Baja? You should get a 4WD vehicle!
In the meantime, 2WD will get you to most places and in a pinch to go further or not get stuck in sand: Deflate the tires, and have a pump to air them
back up.
