The Baja California Peninsula
The Baja California Peninsula in Mexico is the third longest peninsula in the world, stretching for 806 miles from the town of Tijuana, on the United States border, all the way down to the southernmost tip of the peninsula, in Cabo San Lucas. Its coastline is more than 2,500 miles long including all bays, inlets, islands and lagoons, making it one of the most beautiful and sought after destinations for divers, campers, nature lovers and sport fishing enthusiasts.
Its main highway, Mexico Highway 1, stretches the full length of the peninsula and is 1,045 miles long. This makes for easy travel from the U.S. border near San Diego, all the way south to the world famous Arch at Land’s End, in Cabo. The peninsula is 143 miles wide at its broadest point and just over 28 miles at its narrowest.
The Baja California peninsula is composed of two states, Baja California to the north, and Baja California Sur to the south. Together they account for the entire peninsula and are the two least populated states in the Mexican republic, with Baja California Sur as the least populous in all of Mexico.
With its low population density, spectacular Pacific coastline, untouched desert landscapes and pristine turquoise waters off the Sea of Cortez, Baja Mexico is a paradise worth discovering for yourself.
