At this stage in my life, La Paz fits perfectly for me:
Ample ability to make friends from all parts of world
City with all the amenities
Great Fishing
Golf and Tennis facilities
Great Food
Top Beaches and water sports
International Airport with daily flights back to TJ
Close to other points and city/villages
Big enough with small enough feel!
Make it a Great Day!!

You are wondering about wrong things.
It is pretty obvious by now that the OP was a troll. We can congratulate him/her with successful accomplishment of the mission, flush the toilet and
go around more pleasant and productive activities, I think.

same. Over hyped? I don't think so! Places like CABO (South Newport Beach) are overhyped and over priced. Ascuncion is what it is.....I'll go

"The David"? 
That's funny... like "The Baja", is that what Canadians will be calling me, eh?
First trip to Shari's at Bahía Asunción was in July, 2007... she made me eat this yellowtail caught a couple hours earlier... life is tough!
Here is Juan with a some of the catch earlier... nice hat Juan!
Next trip, July 2012... on top of their expanded B&B, soon renamed La Bufadora Inn, photo taken by Shari... That's "The David" and "The Elizabeth"
(aka 'Baja Angel' on Nomad).
Shari gets in the photo...

I think you're the troll in this thread. If it's so unproductive to you please stop posting in it.

never made it north of la Paz. Any input is appreciated, thanks. |
This is the original post and in my opinion it a well stated interesting question. Not a troll like stated by Alm several posts back. So, to try and
get it back on track......
I choose to spend my winters (several months) on one of the RV/camping beaches along Bahia Concepcion south of Mulege. About a 16 hour drive from the
border. Park the RV right on the beach for 100 pesos per night and keep my 14 foot aluminum outboard boat and kayak right in front of the campsite.
It's a really pretty place. Mulege has all you need and is about 15 miles to the north. The bay is calm, the beaches are nice with shade palapas and
there are several small restaurants/bars/stores close by. Sometimes it's crowded but that's OK with me.

Plus, if you have an offroad vehicle there are dirt roads going west into the mountains. And within an easy day's drive you can go south to Loreto or
north to San Ignacio with Santa Rosalia on the way.
No hookups at any of the beaches, which is the way I prefer it.
Maybe folks that go to other places will contribute.

Mulege
I first visited Mulege and Sanispac in 1986, and again in 1999, but only spent a few days each time. I intend to spend more time there this year and
check it out in more detail.
I like the area, and over the years, it has kept it's charm far better than the airport served destinations to the south, and the road served areas
near the border.
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

I don't think so, and I'm not the only one with such an opinion here.
Here it is again: there was no "question". Or it was an unrealistically broad question.
Attempts to make the OP clarify what exactly is that he/she is looking for, were ignored.
He is still there, still reading it ... and still nothing.
Their last response - if it may be called so - was not meant to clarify anything, and, btw, is very typical in such situations.
Definitely knows what he wants - but prefers not to tell.
Fine with me. Just sorry for other members wasting their time on this.

like I wrote before, interesting thread, for all the wrong reasons.
and reflective of the primary problems with BN. lots of hype, commercial log-rolling, often belligerent and/or defensive opinons, and also often,
little substance.
I am glad so many are in love with BA. Why not? Me too. It is a super great place. Thankfully few gringos. Many, many awesome locals & locales.
Just don't make it out to be some ultra-paradise of endless pure bliss. It has drawbacks, like anywhere else.
I should know Chuckie. I live here ...
