On the Baja Peninsula, La Paz is Mexico’s undiscovered seaside city. It offers a slice of laid-back Mexican culture with its pretty plazas lined with colonial architecture, a thriving local art scene and colourful markets. Thanks to its position on the warm, shallow waters of the Sea of Cortez, the city is a launching pad to some incredible snorkelling and kayaking adventures alongside sea lions and whale sharks.
Just behind the seafront, you’ll find La Paz’s downtown area. A good starting point is Jardín Velasco, also called the Plaza Constitución, which is where the city’s old town can be found. Wander past colonial buildings like the cathedral and the city hall (Antiguo Palacio Municipal). A 10-minute walk from the old town brings you to the city’s seafront. Along the Malecón (5.5km promenade), you’ll find restaurants, bars and a few clubs.
While in town, book a walking tour to learn a little more about the city. You’ll get to see some of the city’s colourful street art of the Ciudad Mural project, meet true paceños (a La Paz native) and try local delicacies like fish tacos. If you can’t get enough of the tacos, head to Mercado Francisco I for its market food. A 30-minute drive from town is Balandra Beach. With its natural charm and striking turquoise waters, some consider this to be Mexico’s best beach. Rent a kayak here, or hike to next beach along (San Rafaelito), to swim with the sea lions.
Getting To La Paz, Mexico
Directly into La Paz: If you’re flying out of Tijuana or have your own plane flying straight into La Paz is a great option. Other options of flying into La Paz will include a layover and run you around $1000 per ticket round trip.
If you want to spend a little less on your tickets fly into San Jose Del Cabo and take a taxi or a limo north to La Paz. It’s about a 1.5-2 hour trip by car and there are a few interesting stops along the way – if you’re into those kinds of things. The taxi ride should be around $100-200, max.

Amazing hostel – I reserved the private room which had a very spacious room and bathroom and a nice view of the patio. The staff was very sweet and helpful. They offer yummy fruit for breakfast and amazing tacos and beer are for sale in the evenings along with stellar playlist. Great location, being 2 blocks from the malecón. Will definitely book again for all future visits. Muchísimas gracias ♥️
Great hostel overall! The staff/owner made the atmosphere so welcoming. The facilities are very clean and well maintained and there is lots of original art everywhere. We had a private room and it was super tiny but had windows, AC and a private bathroom with a shower. The bed is small, it’s a double/full bed, not a queen or king. We loved that they had parking for our car but street parking is easy. Once a week they throw a super loud party that goes till 1 am so plan accordingly either way!
Highly recommend this hostel in La Paz, stayed there for only a night and it was perfect. Could do an early check-in (at 10am) and rest as I needed. Mariana, Lilith y Fernanda who work there were really patient and friendly. Helped me with gutting a taxi and more. Even the owner and his wife took time in helping me print some documents. Excellent value for money, clean and safe (doors locked every night). Very chill place. Terrace is a plus! Thank you!
Chill vibes and family house set up.
