You have plenty to do in La Paz. Even if you are just looking to make La Paz your home base and visit the surrounding areas like the beach resorts at Cabo San Lucas, you will still enjoy your life in La Paz.

Most importantly, there is always something to do in this charming little city.

First and foremost are the beaches. The best known are Playa Balandra, Tecolote Beach, Pichilingue Beach, and el Coromuel Beach. They are all between 30 minutes and an hour’s drive from La Paz city center.

When looking for clear blue waters, white sandy beaches, and plenty of ocean fun, then you should move to La Paz and enjoy all it has to offer.

In the water side in La Paz, you will find a beautiful seaside promenade and pier, or Malecon. You can ride a bike, take a leisurely walk, or just sit with a book and enjoy the view.

Also, you will find plenty of great restaurants and local eateries along the promenade with gorgeous views. Sometimes you can even spot gray whales off in the distance.

If you are into snorkeling, fishing, and aquatic activities, then La Paz, Mexico, is an ideal destination for you.

You can take a trip (guided or unguided tours) to Isla Espiritu Santo (Holy Spirit Island) and bask in the animal life, gorgeous coves, and breathtaking cliffs.

If you are not feeling like paddle boarding, kayaking, or heading out on the water that day, then check out all the outdoor and off-road fun just waiting for you.

Some tours take you on ATVs throughout the surrounding areas. You can go sand boarding in the dunes of Mogote.

Feel like taking a break from the outdoor lifestyle and water activities, then you should visit the Museum of Anthropology and History of Baja California Sur. It is a quaint little museum, but with a large personality and great exhibits.

But, if you are trying to learn more about La Paz and its region, then you should take an hour or two to walk through the museum. You must make an appointment, but the museum does not make you pay for the tour guide who is well versed in art, history, and the exhibits.
