East Cape
About East Cape
The East Cape is a secluded area of sweeping landscapes where the desert meets the Sea of Cortez, and the Sierra de la Laguna mountains sit in the backdrop. During the summer you will find some of the best waves for surfing (right point breaks) and even if you don’t surf the road and beaches are breathtaking, making it the perfect spot to set up your Sampa.
*Note: Get provisions before driving to the east cape, there will be no stores close by and limited places to grab food.

Snorkeling at Cabo Pulmo
This spot is next level. One of the most well-preserved reefs in the Pacific. Protected area, so everything feels untouched. Super clear water, perfect even if you’re not experienced. You’ll see turtles, rays, huge schools of fish.

If you want a full change of scenery (and temperature), this is it. Hike through canyons and unexpected greenery. Reach natural pools or small waterfalls. Chill picnic in the middle of nowhere.
