The beauty of the Southern Baja is reknowned, and Todos Santos is a sparking oasis gem on the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula. Ideally placed for exploring, it is located on the Pacific Ocean side, with Cabo San Lucas a short drive south and La Paz an hour-ish to the north. Known for its laid-back artistic vibes and historic cobblestone streets, Todos Santos has become a destination for those seeking a more self-directed experience in travel destinations. Cerritos Beach is a 15 minute drive south, as well as the beach and surf town of Pescadaro.
With an official designation of Pueblo Magico in Mexico, Todos Santos is free of gated resorts that could block the breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and is known for the most exotic sunsets imaginable – every evening every day!
El Centro in Todos Santos Pueblo Magico is eye candy delightful and peaceful most of the time, although there are many markets and fiestas in the square beside the church. Todos Santos is known for amazing live music offerings all year round, and the art galleries are abundant.
Although Todos Santos is well known for its historical Hotel California - there is much more to see and take in around town. None the less its a perfect place to snap a photo for bragging rights!
El Centro Square is a gathering place for locals and in the center of town next the the church. Festivals and markets take place here most weekends including carnivals, beer and wine events, and the legendary Mango Festival at harvest!
Craving a luxury experience? You MUST head to Oystera! This is a new building that has historical feels. Serving world class food and drinks, and with several lovely art shops to peruse, it is a definitely worth the visit while cruising around this Pueblo Magico. There is a lovely and large back garden at Oystera and is a gathering place for concerts, music and art events.
It is highly recommended to rent a car for at least a few days while exploring Todos Santos, as there are many places genuinely worth experiencing that will only be accessible by vehicle. As Todos Santos is not a typical resort style destination your trip will be further enhanced by the opportunity to explore!
