La Paz Sailing Travel Tips

  • Take advantage of modern marinas with professional repair and maintenance services, including Marina de la Paz and Marina Palmira.
  • Visit between January and March to catch a glimpse of migrating whales around La Paz and the Sea of Cortez.
  • Choose from an abundance of tour operators offering multi-day kayaking trips, many include camping, hiking, snorkeling, and whale watching.
  • Partake in the town's famous colorful Carnaval celebration, which lasts for six days leading up to Ash Wednesday. The main event—the parade—is held on the town's malecón (boardwalk).


La Paz Travel Guide

La Paz is the capital of the state of Baja California Sur, but it's smaller and more laid back than that would suggest. It lies far enough from Los Cabos (136 miles) that it remains peaceful, without the rowdy nightlife of Cabo San Lucas. Kayakers, divers, snorkelers, and sailors have long been drawn to La Paz and still are, with good reason. The waters around it—and especially out into the protected areas of Isla Espiritu Santo —are shallow and clear, and there are hundreds of coves and inlets where sea life and landscape defy description. For divers, the presence of impressive numbers of sharks, especially hammerheads, is enticing, as is the chance to dive or snorkel with whale sharks and giant mantas. And La Paz is an excellent base from which to see the gray whales that migrate to the Sea of Cortez each year to have their young. Not surprisingly, sportfishing is big, too. Read More
