If you are travelling to Cabo San Lucas or Los Cabos, please, spend couple days in La Paz. Promise, you won't regret it! It's a nice authentic Mexican town, calm and beautiful.
Here's what we did in 2 days.
🐚 Day 1 – Ocean Adventure & Sunset Stroll
8:00 AM – 4:00 PM
🚤 Full-day boat excursion
Let’s be honest — Isla Espíritu Santo is the reason most people come to La Paz. And once you see it, you’ll get it.
✔ Isla Espíritu Santo – remote, pristine, and ridiculously beautiful
✔ Snorkeling with wild sea lions – playful, fast, and surprisingly friendly 🦭
✔ Balandra Beach – famous for its shallow turquoise waters and 🍄 Mushroom Rock
💡 Pro tip: Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a dry bag, and water shoes if you plan to climb closer to the rock.
5:00 PM – 8:00 PM
🌅 Evening on the Malecón
Back on land, slow the pace with a walk along La Paz’s peaceful Malecón.
