Enough said, both places are great if it's only for a week or two. Anything longer, La Paz wins out, also warmer in winter months.
The grass is always greener....
and so, there is always a better spot in Baja

Now if you are looking for Ladies La Paz is the Place!!!
On the Malacron each nite there are lots of Pretty ladies. Also around the Public Square there is Dancing and loving.
If you are seeking Local House there are several nearby.
Cheap and well Located.
The Ladies of La Paz are Pretty and Young.

My opinion exactly.
I'll go along with DT.
Loreto, at least to me, the three times I have been there seemed like an expensive rip-off just after the tourist $.
La Paz, even at the Malecon, it is a family atmosphere, and all money is as good as the rest.
There is soooo much more to do in La Paz.

If you go to sleep before 8:00 P.M. choose Loreto
If you go to sleep after 8:00 P.M. choose La Paz

La Paz is cheaper, as usual when the place is more "Mexy" and less of a resort. Not much cheaper, though. Let's say, cheap hotel in Loreto is
$30-35, in La Paz $25-30.
These two places are very different. What you are looking for would determine the attractiveness. Kayaking and snorkeling is better in Loreto, and
generally quieter. In La Paz there is a better party scene if you are looking for that, but if you are not, it's a big, loud and not very clean city.
Surfing is better in La Paz.

I don't believe it was ever established if LoyeB was planning to drive or fly. Obviously, if driving, one would have to drive right past Loreto to get
to La Paz. In that case, I think it was DavidK that mentioned to do both. I agree. However, If LoyeB is flying in, doing both would be more difficult,
involving probably the better part of two days just to travel to and fro.
Having spent a great deal of time in both locations, I find it difficult to choose. I have favorite hotels, restaurants and activities in both
locations.

I'd agree with most of the comments . Sounds like you're visiting not taking up permanent residency. If you were though , most like La Paz because the
health care is better. I know many Mexican Nationals from Loreto that end up going to La Paz when they need a specialist .
Since you're visiting I'd like to suggest Balandra Bay for water activities, Rancho Viejo for Arracherra tacos Okaydaka at Costa Baja for Sashimi and
other delicacies taht are mouth watering.
have fun.

Great place! We launched there two weeks ago then paddled north to Teclote Beach and back, loaded the yaks, then drove back to Tecolote for lunch.
Casa Buena was our base, great folks and place. Bonnie hit several of the fabric stores to get material for some sewing projects

Except for the sun rising over Cerralvo  |
Alan, you will have to do some early morning traveling to see the sun come up over Cerralvo if you live in La Paz.
Not quite down the road. |
That's why it beats the sun rising over Carmen. It means I am
heading out fishing for the day! Heck, in Loreto you see the sun over Carmen everyday so it isn't quite as special.

picking the best location for a sunrise in Baja?
Too hard to pick THE location. Carmen seems to find itself in many of my favorite shots.
