Hiking
Trek Cabo Pulmo’s sandy shores & soaring mountains.
Hike the white sand beaches where the Sea of Cortez gently laps the shore or climb the sandy arroyas behind the town and spot wildlife like iguanas and owls. There are dozens of miles of trails blazed by locals right from Baja Paradise or a stunning beach hike just an 8 minute drive up the road. Don’t forget good athletic shoes, a hat, sunscreen, and water!
Beach hike from the village
The best beach hike you find anywhere is right here at Cabo Pulmo. The hike to the south from the village village takes you through a series of small coves, separated by rocky points underneath sandstone cliffs. The hike is difficult at high tide, so wait until you see the first reef poking up from the water so the tide is low enough to walk all the way to the south end of the bay. There are two points you usually need to scramble over. It’s about 3 miles one-way to Corral Los Frailes, the inside cove just north of Los Frailes Point.
You can also drive to Corral Los Frailes and pick up your hikers if they only wish to hike one way. Drive three miles south and take the left-hand dirt road just before the big point of Los Frailes. The road will take you down a rutted hill, past a rancho and to the beach.
