The north Pacific side is beautiful with white sandy beaches and points for surfing, fishing, snorkeling (cold water) and mostly seclusion.
To see some of that, I recommend heading out to Erendira and then following the coast south to Camalu. This can be done in a couple days easily with one night camping.
And then, Maybe one night in Catavi?a to enjoy the scenery. And then down to Mulege and Bahia Concepcion for 2 or 3 days, and then head down to Agua Verde where you will want to spend a couple days at least.
And then either over to Bahia Magdalena, it will be quiet at this time of the year, or down to La Paz and Playa Tecolote. (It is hot right now!)
You can fit a trip to Los Cabos and Todos Santos in if ya feel like that sorta thing.
Pay attention always and take out more trash than you brought. Have fun.

I like that itin....can you offer some specifics...I have seen your postings before and you seem to have a lot of connections.

I'd head south as far as you want to get and then if you don't feel like leaving there's no hurry. That way as you become more relaxed if you do decide to slowly work north the drive gets you closer to home rather than a ballbuster with just 2 days left. 2 days to Loreto, explore and then cruise......
