Nestled between the Sierra Laguna mountains and the Sea of Cortez on the Baja California peninsula lies the laid-back port of La Paz, the capital of Baja California Sur. The name translates to “The Peace,” and this lovely spot indeed offers a relaxing, enriching vacation. Cruise to La Paz and kick back on some of the most beautiful white-sand beaches in the Mexican Riviera. Stroll the 3-miles- long boardwalk, the Malecón, and admire spectacular sunsets. Dine on the freshest seafood. Discover why Jacques Cousteau called the Sea of Cortez “the aquarium of the world.” Or take to the area's beautiful blue water and snorkel with gentle whale sharks. Watch for blue whales migrating, manta rays gliding, and dolphins jumping. Your day is a shore hit.
