Mexico Holidays in Baja California: Dolphins + Whale Watching
Mexico Holidays in Baja California are extremely popular, offering glorious sandy beaches with wonderful weather and vibrant beach life, as well as the opportunity to view dolphins and enjoy whale watching. Celebrities, families and honeymooners rub shoulders here, where it seems like summer all year long.
At over 750 miles (1,200 km), the Baja California peninsula is the second longest in the world. It lies in the far northwest of Mexico and is almost separated from the mainland by the Gulf of California (also called the Sea of Cortez). It extends from the USA border to Los Cabos on the southern tip of the peninsula, with many luxury all-inclusive resorts scattered between the towns of Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo. Los Cabos is the most popular base for Mexico holidays in Baja California, including dolphins & whale watching.
In contrast to Los Cabos, La Paz is much smarter and quieter with a lovely waterfront, exceptional beaches, fine restaurants and an authentic Mexican atmosphere. Ferries sail from here to the nearby Espiritu Santo Islands, where you can swim with whale sharks, watch playful sea lions and spot blue footed boobies and frigatebirds. On Mexico holidays in Baja California based in La Paz, you can get safe close-up views of hammerhead sharkes.
The Gulf of California is fantastic for snorkelling and scuba diving, with local sea conditions bringing together a stunning mix of sea life. Mexico holidays in Baja California are equally exceptional for game fishing for marlin, tuna, sailfish and more.
Mexico holidays in Baja California are also exceptional for dolphins & whale watching, as the seas around the peninsula offer one of the richest areas for dolphins and whale watching on the planet. Humpback whales, blue whales, sperm whales, Bryde's whales, orcas and many others routinely seen here, and each spring the world’s entire population of gray whales migrate 6,000 miles from Alaska to breed in the lagoons off San Ignacio, on the west coast.

More information on Mexico holidays in Baja California, including dolphins & whale watching:
Once you head away from the luxury resorts, the region is sparsely populated and you can discover the authentic Baja. The cosmopolitan mix of peoples in the region is nearly as varied as the incredible range of landscapes, old Spanish mission towns, cave paintings, ancient volcanoes and vast remote deserts. This highly popular region really has its own distinctive identity and lifestyle making Mexico holidays in Baja California a great addition to any itinerary.
Cave paintings, some thought to be 2,000 years old, can be found in various Baja locations. The main concentration is on the Sierra de San Francisco, in the central Great Murals grouping. Although access is sometimes demanding, this is absolutely outstanding ancient rock art and if this is what interests you on Mexico Holidays in Baja California, it is well worth the effort to see it for yourself.
