Baja Sur is one of Mexico’s best states for road trips. Travelers often drive south from Tijuana, Tecate, Mexicali, or San Felipe, following the peninsula through deserts, mountains, fishing towns, beaches, and Sea of Cortez bays.
Because distances can be long and services can be spread out, plan fuel stops, carry water, avoid night driving, and download maps before remote stretches. RV travelers should review route conditions and campground options before departure.
Premium resorts, boutique beach hotels, and Baja road-trip stays make the state one of Mexico’s most diverse accommodation markets.
