Thank You everyone for you posts and Ideas..
You made us feel at ease , and made the trip much easier to plan.I feel I meet some good Friends here. I can't thank everyone enough for your help and
ideas. Your pictures are beautiful and we cant wait to see it ourselves. All I think about is Baja ,and I am still in the land of the snow.
Keep the ideas comming , we enjoy reading them and putting them into our plans.

Bahia de Los Angeles is nice, Dagget's or Archlon is the best bet for camping $5pp. hot showers, nice people. Water temp was 72F when I left a few
days ago.
Mulege the water should be warmer. Playa Santispac is about 12 miles south (we like staying at the cove to the right) avoid at the full moon unless
you don't mind getting out of your camper into 2ft. of water in the AM. 2 places to eat right at Santispac (if Ray's is open, I'm told it is) further
south is El Coyote and several other beaches, each more beautiful than the other last, pick your spot!
What is a "wall tent"? |
Rays burnt down almost 3 years ago.

1. Get you Mex auto insurance in advance - a 1 year policy will be cheapest; check Lewis and Lewis, Bajabound and Discover Baja.
2. You can get your FMT visas in advance as well through Discover Baja club.
3. If you plan to fish from a boat you will also need fishing licenses - not neccessary for shore fishing.
4. Cross at Tecate' - stay at Potrero County Park the night before you cross.
5. Cross with enough gas to get through Ensenada, at least, and get some pesos from a bank ATM as you head south - pay for gas etc with pesos or you
will not get the current exchange rate.
6. Make for San Quintin the first night - El Pabalon is right on the beach with hot showers - look for the red/yellow signs south of town.
7. Head south to El Rosario and gas up at the Bajacactus Pemex before you head south to Catavinia for the night. Spend some time hiking the rocks and
cactus. Camp at Santa Inez ranch a mile or so south of town on the left.
8. Head south again to Bahia De Los Angeles - the view as you drop into town is amazing. Camp at Archelon or Daggets just north of town.
9. Head to Guerrero Negro and out to the whale lagoon south of town. Camp on the water fro a day or 2 and watch the whales and dolphin.
10. Head south to Viscaino and take the road our to Bahia Asuncion. I warn you that if the weather is warm, you may not go further. Great fishing,
beaches, biking, etc. Shari and Juan will set you up !
11. Maybe the beach road to Abreojos if its' in good shape - Shari will know.
Otherwise head to San Ignacio and stay at either the B&B yurts or at El Padrito and check out the historic town.
12. As you head south, stop and walk the streets of Santa Rosalia and don't miss the bakery and some local fish tacos.
13. From there you could stop at San Bruno or Chivato areas but Mulege is the goal. Stock up in town and then head to one of the beaches south of town
for a relaxing campsite on the water.
14. The next stop south is Loreto, the across to Cuidad Constitution and back across to La Paz.
15. 45 min. south of La Paz is La Ventana and El Muertos for more good camping and fishing.
16. Etc, etc ....
There are tons of places in between all of these - ask away !!!

John, did you see my reply over on the Baja Bound forum, where you also asked? It is a lot quieter over there and it is good to spread the answers
around. Baja Nomad 'BajaGeoff' runs that forum... and the Baja Bound Mexican Auto Insurance service that has a banner ad here on Nomad.
I read Nomad first, so I haven't checked BajaBound.com yet.
Hope you have a fun trip... and I like Diver's suggestions, too!
