La Paz is the gateway to some of the most spectacular natural areas in the Southern Sea of Cortez and Baja presenting a plethora of recreational activities for a variety of interests.
Just north of this lovely seaside city lies the National Park of Espiritu Santo Island (ESI). This desert island is adorned with large bays lined with white sand beaches, caressed by turquoise waters and towering cactus as backdrop. ESI is an ideal location for sea kayaking, camping, hiking and boating.
