Concierge.com's insider take:
Dirt and paved roads etch Baja's two coastlines, leading to primo surf breaks and languid lagoons. The Transpeninsular Highway parallels the Pacific coast in northern Baja and the Sea of the Cortez in the south, passing windswept beaches littered with driftwood and shells at San Quintín and breathtaking vistas at Bahía Concepción and other aquamarine coves and bays along the Sea of Cortez. Most coastal towns have beaches filled with families swimming in shallow waters—Playa Pichilingue and Playa Coyote in La Paz are quintessentially Mexican in style and amenities (umbrella and chair rentals, cafes in the sand serving oysters Diablo and whole fried fish). Los Cabos has precious few beaches offering safe swimming, though some resorts in the Corridor provide man-made coves for swimming. Playa Médano in Cabo San Lucas is a full-out water playground for all ages, with wave runners, glass-bottom boats, and water taxis to Playa del Amor beneath El Arco. The surf can be unpredictable off both coasts, and swimming at solitary beaches isn't advisable.
