Few Days in La Paz

Genecag - 4-16-2016 at 03:52 PM

The Nomads do such a great job sharing info and taking the time to upload their travel reports, I would like to contribute a little. So here it goes. No grand adventure or hidden trails in Baja, but a few days of R&R in our own way....

Start the day with a great breakfast at Maria California: Best fresh juices and smoothies. Maguey's is another great breakfast place, it's more local centric and full of Ladies groups and Senor groups enjoying breakfast.

The best hair cut in Mexico and only for 3 dollars. It's a Barbershop with character, the place your abuelo goes for his haircut. They are real Pros and never miss a chance to get my haircut here.

Costa Baja Beach Club - Infinity pool with great Mojitos. The food here is cheap and really really good. Try the Seared Tuna or the Pulpos. I think the public can enter for a small fee or just sneak in :)

The next day we went to a little beach east of Tecolote, I think it's called Coyote Beach. It's below the Maravia Development. It was a little windy but the whole place just to ourselves

Finish the day off with dinner at Azul at Costa Baja. I think it is one of the best restaurant in La Paz. Their seared Yellowtail is always great and we never had a bad meal nor poor service. Very consistent and that's why it's the best.

With a kind invitation from a friend, we headed out for some fishing action. Leaving the marina...

Steve Job's Yacht was fueling up. What a beautiful and unconventional design. It's like an iYacht

We headed out to the channel but it was too windy for us so we cruised the inside of Espiritu Santos island.

We saw three different camp site on the island. They call it Gamping (Glamour + Camping). I think a week can run in the $1800 to $2500.

Been to the island many times but we never explored this large beach just at the start of the island. A long long stretch of beach with crystal clear water about 1.5 to 2 feet deep.
