Bahía Concepción
One of the most beautiful bays in Baja California Sur, a 40 km long emerald-green bay dotted with white-sand beaches and small islands.
Bahía Concepción stretches south of Mulegé for about 40 km. Its mouth faces north, so waves are small, and the water is a jade-green color. Highway 1 follows the western shore, passing more than a dozen beaches, including San Cristóbal, Los Cocos, El Burro, El Coyote, Buenaventura and El Requesón. Most can be reached by car right up to the sand for camping, at roughly 150–200 pesos per night, though facilities are basic. The bay is good for kayaking, snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding, dolphins can be seen in winter, and whale sharks are occasionally spotted. Supplies are concentrated in Mulegé, so bring plenty of drinking water.
