Punta Pescadero - Los Cabos

Just as they did decades ago, people flock to Baja California to fish. One of the most beautiful bays to fish is the points at Punta Pescadero Beach in Los Cabos. It doesn't take long to get set up. Local companies can equip you and tell you the best spots along the shore to reel 'em in. Or you can just watch where the locals hang out and go 50 yards down the beach and try your luck. Chances are you'll be pulling 'em in like the locals in no time.

If you've been working your way through the East Cape beaches and small towns and villages, after Buena Vista and Los Barriles, you will come upon the breathtaking coastline of Punta Pescadero. As the name implies - this is indeed "Fishermen's Point".

Many get to Punta Pescadero by flying in. There are companies that offer packages with fly-in's and accomodation, followed by all the sports fishing you can handle.

Here, you could easily pull the car over anywhere along the coast and walk down to the beach. And, you'd be alone. A nice trip might be snorkeling several spots along the way around Punta Pescadero.
