Sea of Cortez island wilderness
A tranquil Baja town on the Sea of Cortez — a first-mission church, a marine park of desert islands, blue whales and sea lions, kayaking, and dramatic mountains meeting turquoise water.
A car for the missions; boats for the islands.
Boat out to the desert islands of Loreto Bay Marine Park for snorkelling and sea lions.
Tourist areas are generally safe; use registered taxis/rideshare and check regional advisories.
Quiet — a few plaza cantinas.
