Ivan Guaderrama Art Gallery

Reviewed By janemB1490XZ

This was such an unexpected delight! From the minute i walked in the door, there was a personal greeting, invitation to view the interactive artwork and download a free APP to enjoy the gallery on my own or with their docents! The artwork literally comes alive thru the APP, when you touch it. There is a piano piece that you PLAY! Another piece where you and another person can each touch the side and then hold hands. You play music with your fingers on your partner's hand!

Casa Magoni

Wines made with the heart, with a trajectory of two generations cultivating vine and making wine. From the hand of the enologist Camillo Magoni, we invite you to know, respect and care for the wine culture.

Real cool spot to get a wine tasting or just a bottle and chill under the HUGE tree with the live band there.

Malecon

This surfside avenue is Loreto's center for peoplewatching, by day and night.

Reviewed By K1488OSkevins - San Diego, United States

I would visit this place any time. Much better than La Paz!! Very clean and touristy with so much history. Nice people and very relaxing quiet city on an isolated type of beach. The city is a great place to visit with some beautiful churches and missions with so much Mexican culture here. We could not believe how well the city was kept up and taken care of for some many years. Really cool place to visit.

Malecon

Beachside shopping street, providing you with spectacular views of the palm tree - lined beach as you browse through shops and restaurants.

Reviewed By ChicagoColorado - Longmont, United States

I love La Paz's Malecon. When you walk along the Malecon, you are absorbed into Mexico, surrounded by local families taking walks, groups of friends chatting, joggers running after (or before) work, young folks skating along on roller skates or boards.. The Malecon is broad enough to accommodate these various activities The Malecon is actually a stone tile walkway, several miles in length, along the city's waterfront. On one side, the Ensenada de la La Paz, sprinkled with small boats, pelicans, herons, terns, gulls. On the other side, a variety of eateries. I find this area so relaxing. A place to be a tourist without feeling like one.

Costa Azul

Reviewed By adamt51457 - San Clemente, United States

A great beach to visit during your stay in either Cabo San Lucas or San Jose del Cabo. Not all the beaches in Los Cabos are swimmable, but Costa Azul is a great area for surfing and relaxing. Some good food in the area as well will have me coming back to this section during future trips. Well worth the visit. If you don't want to park on the dirt/beach area with your rental car, check out the small lot at Zippers Bar and Grill. Enjoy

Playa El Tecolote (Tecolote Beach)

In the owl beach club we have restored services, tours and aquatic equipment rental bikes, kayak banana among others.owl beach is the main beach of peace bcsmost requested activity is the tour to Isla Espiritu Santo.

Reviewed By Adriana9208 - La Paz, Mexico

I completely love this place. It has so much space to sit around and the best is the view of the Espiritu Santo Island and the amazing desert landscape and beautiful water colors. There's 2 or 3 restaurant's in case you don't want to carry anything. They do let you use the bungalows at the beach as long as you consume food and drinks. Weekends are the most busiest days. But it is very worthy taking time to go. Also it's a good place to go stargazing and camping.

Clean, safe and very nice. Quaint town without the hustle and bustle of Cabo San Locos (Lucas). Lots of local shopping and things to do without the crowds.
