Absolutely The Most Beautiful Beach


Okay, I know this is trival & totally subjective. But, which beach do you consider to be the most beautiful in Baja?

Loaded question.

Baja Norte it's K55 on the Pacific

Gonzaga area on the gulf side

La Gringa and all the other Bahia de Los ANgeles beaches in the central part SOC

Laguna Manuela on the west side

Abreojos.

El Coyote and Requeson in Concepcion area.

San Juanico and all points north and south for 10 miles.

Agua Verde.

Tecolote and Balandra in La Paz area.

Coast line in Elias Calles area.

East Cape.

I can't decide.

:coolup:

How about you?

Me thinks all the beaches in the Bahia Concepcion are the best in Baja. As to which one ranks supreme... each is super.

Bahia Concepcion is a hard act to follow.

What is the name of that cove where the La Paz pangareros clean their catch? That's a beautiful spot.

Even though the beach in front of my place ranks number one because
1. sand is soft
2. the beach is littered with treasures from the sea
3. you can walk all day and have it to yourself.
4. close to 2 esturaries
5. you can watch the sun and moon rise and set to and from the ocean.
6. all the whales pass by on their way back to AK
7. it is in front of a lighthouse
8. it is in the middle of nowhere and I have water, electric, phone and Internet there.
9. there is a mile long airstrip there.
10. people are great.
11. doesn't get real hot or cold.
12. virtually no bugs and rarely rains
13. It is so alive there is always something going on...it is like having the discovery channel on 24/7
14. 3 surf breaks right out my door.
15. Spectacular fishing right off the beach.
So Abreojos ranks #1 for me, but there are 1000 of great beaches in Baja many I still have not found. So it would be interesting to hear of one better. I don't see one on the map that can compare anywhere.

I bet some of the most beautiful beaches are on the islands, but being a landlubber I'd have to say right now it's Bahia Concepcion.

My favorite beach of all time though used to be in front of the Brisa del Mar trailer park. We used to love to sit on the beach in the early morning, with the warm breeze to our backs, watching the backwash explode the surf into all kinds of contorted patterns.

"Best" can mean different things...

For me, it means sand, and lots of it! Baja has many gulf and Pacific side... Beaches free from hords of people is a plus.

Getting to in a day or less of driving (from San Diego) is also a feature I like...

On the Pacific side, Cielito Lindo (Gypsy's) south of San Quintin is one uncrowded beach:


On the gulf side, my vote goes for 'Shell Island' (South of San Felipe area)... Photo at low tide...

Jesse seems to have the best beach shot. Wow, can't wait to have my feet touch that sand. Hope to bathe in the sun mid Feb. Time needs to hurry up!

Nice photo Ken. Last time I visited Sanfransiscito was in 1989. Looked the same then as it does now. Good memories.
