You can head to the Cabo resorts of Baja California Sur and do nothing more energetic than raise your arm by the pool to order another cocktail – but you’d be missing out on the chance to experience the natural wonders that this part of Mexico has to offer. Marvel at the marinelife and enjoy the water-based activities of the second-longest peninsula in the world with our suggestions for the top places to ditch the all-inclusive.
Swim with the fishes off Espíritu Santo
You have to have something special for Unesco to award you World Heritage Status and Espiritu Santo certainly does. Lying just off the east coast of Baja California near the town of La Paz, these two islands offer hikes and pristine beaches aplenty, but the real fun is out on the water where you can kayak from bay to bay, snorkel and dive with the fishes, and head to a sea lion colony for a swim with these inquisitive and playful creatures.
Between Espíritu Santo and the mainland lies one of the best places in Mexico for spotting and swimming with whale sharks, the largest fish in the ocean. Despite many sharks’ man-eating reputation, these guys are more interested in eating plankton than humans, meaning you can get amazingly close to these gentle giants without the Jaws theme tune popping into your head.
