Overview:La Paz, a sleepy fishing town with a population of 180,000, is a
town that transforms itself into a world class diving and fishing
destination when the water in the Sea of Cortez warms up. A short,
picturesque 2 hour drive from Cabo San Lucas or an even shorter flight from
Phoenix or Los Angeles, La Paz is great for anything from long weekends to
longer stays.
Diving:
Info:Swimming, scuba diving, surfing, snorkeling, sea kayaking, sport
and deep sea fishing, wind surfing, whale watching, island camping, jet
skis, and many other water sports. Dive Los Islotes' sea lion rookery, the
El Bajo Sea Mount, and the wreck of the car ferry "Salvaterra". Dive with
the hammerhead sharks, sea lions, whale sharks, dolphins, manta rays, and
gamefish of the Sea of Cortez.
Insider Info: La Paz is a great town for handicraft and artwork purchases
without the tourist feel of Cabo San Lucas. Some of the best scuba diving
and fishing is yours to experience just hours from Los Angeles and the
island of Espiritu Santo offers the perfect getaway from civilization as you
kayak, sail, or camp on and around the island. There is an abundant
selection of restaurants to serve ones preference and price range. |
