You would be better served if you told us what floats your boat. All three of the places you listed have many reasons to visit. But, they are different. What are your preferences for spending the day? Fishing? Swimming? Boating? Hiking? Eating? Drinking? People watching? Shopping?

Me, personally, with one extra day, I'd head up to La Paz, enjoy the malecon. Spend some early afternoon time at La Perla with ceviche and margaritas, while watching the passing parade. Then, later, head up to Jesse's Tres Virgenes for some super victuals.

Do it all; dive, atv, dirtbike, race, fish, walk the beach, drink on the beach, sleep on the beach, look at architecture, theater & more. Each place was selected because of interest and each location currently has two days. So where do we spend three days, the extra day?

Thanks,

Is 3 days in La Paz too much? Leaning towards spending the extra day in La Paz.

Reasons,
it is the biggest city so should be the most to see & do
we will be spending an additional week in Cabo so we could drive to Todos Santos & East Cape if something catches our eye and needs more time.

Thanks for the help, LOL!

i say: stay another day in la paz and go just a ways south to LA VENTANA. it is absolutely, no doubt about it, one of the most gorgeous places we have visited ... the color of the water is spectacular ... we ate at a restaurant with the upstairs tables facing the water INCREDIBLE !!




Come visit La Bocana

You don't know where Anthony's is?!?!?! Wow!!! To many a red blooded American young man, Anthony's is considered a rite of passage.

After Anthonys (Ensenada), I would head to the movie theater to see Hercules meets Godzilla.

None of those places! It takes three days of daylight driving just to get there from the border!

The San Felipe-Puertecitos area has possibilities for all your mentioned activities (and is 2-3 HOURS, not days from the border):
"Fishing? Swimming? Boating? Hiking? Eating? Drinking? People watching? Shopping?"

and most of the added items in your follow-up:
"dive, atv, dirtbike, race, fish, walk the beach, drink on the beach, sleep on the beach."

because I live in TS, I would pick La Paz and the beaches north. Tecelote i.e.



The grass is always greener....
and so, there is always a better spot in Baja
