Baja California Snapshot

What to Expect:   Laid-back vibes on Catalina Island, wild nightlife in Ensenada, dolphins, beaches, tequila, vineyards, and sunny skies.

When to Go:   The Baja peninsula is a year-round destination.

What to Do:   Snorkel off Catalina Island, go wine tasting in Ensenada, relax on a Cabo San Lucas beach, dance the night away in port towns.

Local Color:   Walk a few blocks outside of the tourist center of Ensenada for a taste of a real Mexican town.

Don't Miss:   La Bufadora, a blowhole near Ensenada where crashing waves send water spouting dozens of feet into the air.

Don't Forget:   Keep an eye out for whales, especially during the winter migrating season.
