In many ways, the Baja appears to be a world of unexpected and intriguing contrasts. Tidepools find shade beneath tall cacti. Subtropical forests blanket towering mountain ranges. Sun-drenched desert arroyos tumble down to the refreshing, jewel-blue waters of the Sea of Cortez.
But of the Baja’s many opposites, the most profound are the ones it seems to stir in our own psyche. To spend any amount of time here, worry gives way to wonder, stress is drowned out by the chorus of laughter, and the last remnants of the day’s concerns are swept away by the shore’s balmy breezes, another round of ice-cold cervezas with friends, or some combination of both. This place invites you to immerse in a slower pace of life, to embark on a carefree sojourn into the arms of old Baja’s romantic spirit.
Baja Bay Club is the ideal basecamp for those who share a natural lust for adventure. Rich discoveries are just beyond one’s front door, and in nearly every direction. Take an exhilarating tour of the backcountry on motorcycles or ATVs. Head to the surrounding foothills or the Sierra de la Laguna range for prime hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding. Go bird watching in wild landscapes teeming with more than 200 species of birdlife, including egrets, herons, pelicans and ring-necked ducks.
