Famously called “the world’s aquarium” by the late Jacques Cousteau, this UNESCO World Heritage site is the only living hard coral reef system in western North America where snorkelers and scuba divers can witness an amazing array of colorful reef fish, eel colonies, whale sharks, giant mantas and sea turtles—more than 800 species of marine life in all.
It’s not every day you have a Unesco World Heritage Site in your very own backyard. Stretching five miles along the coast of the Sea of Cortez, surrounded by undeveloped desert, the calm bay of Cabo Pulmo is easily accessible from Baja Bay Club. The perfect afternoon outing, opportunities abound for diving expeditions, curated boat tours, and some of the most satisfying tacos and ice-cold cervezas you’ll find anywhere on the East Cape.
