What to do and see in Todos Santos, Baja California Sur: The Best Things to do

October 25, 2021 Carley Gatson

Sitting at the point where the Sierra Laguna mountains meet the desert and the Pacific, Todos Santos is a piece of Baja you don’t want to miss. But get here soon—Todos Santos is transitioning from a quiet, dusty Mexican seaside secret into the bustling hermanito of Cabo San Lucas, so you'll want to visit before the crowds are permanent.

This is a really nice spot to stop. the resident artist Jill Logan's work is very beautiful and there are many replications that are affordable as well as larger pieces on display.

La Sonrisa de la Muerte

Reviewed By denisemarie612 - Pasadena, United States

My favorite gallery in town. Before we were locals, we strolled the art galleries of Todos Santos as tourists. Sonrisa de la Muerte is the one gallery that draws me back time and again. It is also a must-stop for our guests because they can enjoy the art, purchase something small as a delightful keepsake or something on a grander scale to grace their walls at home. I fell in love with a print and it was my first big purchase and the lovely couple/owners explained it was a piece from the La Piztola Collective in Oaxaca whose street art and murals always have a social message. The art and artists have a story and the proprietors are great storytellers. Don't miss this treasure!

Violent waves pound the surf, making this beach a wonderful place to lounge, but not the best place to swim.

Palm Beach

This beach offers fairly safe waters for swimming.

Reviewed By AfarOffPlace

off the main highway, at a specific mile marker you jump onto a dirt road that is better suited for ATV's than the VW car we had. the longest 4KM drive of my life. Worth it though...We went early in the am, arrived before 10, place was empty and by the time we left, around 2pm, there were maybe 20 people on the whole beach. No vendors selling goods, just the sound of the waves. The water and sand glitter, as if there are gold flakes scattered throughout, and if you are adventurous you can climb up the hills on the sides of the beach to get a great wide view of the bay and the other to the north. Definitely worth the visit, if you like quiet beaches.

A good friend and I were in Todos Santos for The Tropic of Cancer Music Festival and we set aside time to visit here. What an epic experience. The volunteer families that work here are beyond incredible. Being able to take part in the release of the baby turtles into the sea at sunset was unlike no other I have experienced. Take the time to visit here during this season when the eggs are laid and be sure to donate generously so that this effort can continue. You're welcome!

Iglesia De Nuestra Senora Pilar

This church is a historical and architectural landmark in Todos Santos.

Reviewed By LoneKingFisher - West Bend, United States

The bells of this simple, yet well maintained church ring on the hour and call residents to mass twice daily. Not being a practicing Catholic, I find it peaceful just to sit outside the church in the evening to listen to those inside worshiping and singing. Outside the church is a small plaza facing the valle de huerta and one can gaze into the distance, watching the sunset over the ocean, hoping to catch a glimpse of a breaching whale. It's also a colorful photo-op spot given the brightly painted TODOS SANTOS art sign is situated there.

Calle Benito Juarez

The main street of Todos Santos, lined with shops and cafes.

Reviewed By KarenF446 - Edmonton, Canada

We rented a car so the trip was affordable and fun, no crowded buses on a schedule. The highway from San Jose del Cabo was easy and enjoyable, spotted some whales, stopped for a photo on the rugged desert. The Hotel was a highlight of our trip; we looked, had a bite to eat, shopped at the emporio. Plenty of Mexican art, shops and sights in the old town.
