Dreaming of warm air and water, big swell and sandy beaches and most importantly reliable wind? Baja’s East Cape offers it all.

Your accommodations can range from a tent at the campground to a private home to a resort or even bunk beds. We are going into a La Niña pattern which usually means strong winds for the Sea of Cortez.

Plus great SUPing, kayaking, endless beach walks, restaurants, fishing, kayaking, diving or ATVing all from your base in a small village.

And for the jaded, Cabo waits just a few hours to the south. Plan your La Ventana, El Sargento or Los Barriles trip now!
