Malecón de Loreto
A seafront promenade overlooking Loreto Bay, lined with palm trees and linking the lighthouse with the departure pier. In the evening, watch seabirds and the mountains silhouetted after sunset.
The Malecón runs about 1.5 km along Loreto Bay, with the sea on one side and restaurants and small hotels on the other. A lighthouse stands at the north end, and the small pier in the middle is the gathering point for whale-watching, snorkeling and sport-fishing boats. In the early morning, you can see fishermen unloading their catch, and pelicans and frigatebirds foraging around the pier. In the evening, locals stroll here while the Sierra de la Giganta mountains behind glow red in the sunset. It is open all day, free of charge. It is a five-minute walk from the mission, and along the way you can eat fish tacos and seafood cocktails.
