OVERVIEW

La Paz is a coastal city in north western Mexico, built around a broad bay and long seafront promenade. Residential neighbourhoods, marinas and commercial streets extend inland towards dry desert hills. Bay occupies a different part of the destination from waterfront, giving the wider area a clear physical structure. Away from the principal landmarks, waterfront gives way gradually to beaches across the wider area.

Boat trips, beaches and marine wildlife provide the main appeal. The city feels calmer than larger resort centres, while local seafood and evening waterfront life create a strong everyday rhythm. Spending time around desert terrain also brings coast into view, adding a distinct second layer to the visit. The relationship between bay and coast adds variety without requiring long transfers.
