East Cape, Baja California Sur

The East Cape is a region of the Mexican state of Baja California Sur. It is in the southeastern part of the state, in the municipality of Los Cabos. The area is largely unspoiled and is very remote.

Just an hour by paved Highway 1 from Los Cabos International Airport, the north end of the East Cape is attracting both devoted seasonal veterans and an increasing number of first-time visitors. With its rocky, dry desert and cobalt-colored sea, southern Baja is visually stunning. It has evolved into one of Mexico's top luxury resorts because of this. East Cape, one of the best surf sites in Baja, is located on the other side of the peninsula, facing the Sea of Cortez, and is a comparatively undiscovered location. East Cape, which faces south, is well-known for its right point breaks at spots like Shipwreck and Nine Palms. Surfers frequently camp out in vans for days on end, catching perfect wave after perfect wave. For more adventurous surf, travel up the coast to places like Punta Arenas and El Rincon.
