Baja Pass is coming to Todos Santos
Todos Santos is a designated Pueblo Mágico — an artist town of galleries, surf breaks, organic farms and boutique dining an hour north of Cabo on the Pacific coast. Cobblestone streets, the legendary Hotel California, and some of the best farm-to-table food in Baja make it the region's most charming day trip.
The guide
Why visit Todos Santos
Todos Santos earned its Pueblo Mágico ("Magic Town") status honestly. Founded around an 18th-century mission, it's grown into an artist and surfer haven where galleries, boutique hotels and celebrated restaurants fill restored colonial buildings — all a short walk from wild Pacific beaches and world-class surf breaks. It's the perfect antidote to a busy Cabo itinerary, and an easy hour's drive away.

The historic center & galleries
Wander cobblestone streets past art galleries, artisan shops and colonial architecture — Todos Santos has one of Baja's richest arts scenes.
World-class surfing
Cerritos, San Pedrito and Los Cerritos deliver consistent Pacific waves for every level, with surf schools for first-timers and reef breaks for pros.
Hotel California
Grab a drink at the famously photogenic Hotel California — a Todos Santos landmark and one of Baja's most iconic spots.
Farm-to-table dining
Fed by the town's organic farms, Todos Santos punches far above its size on food — think garden restaurants, wood-fired kitchens and mezcal bars.
Pacific beaches
Dramatic, uncrowded beaches like Playa Las Palmas and Punta Lobos — great for long walks, sunsets and watching the local fishermen come in.
Whale watching (in season)
In winter, gray whales pass along the Pacific coast, and nearby beaches host sea turtle release programs.
Plan ahead
Best time to visit Todos Santos
November through April is ideal — mild, dry days perfect for exploring town and the beaches, plus gray whale season on the Pacific in winter. Surf is good much of the year, with bigger swells in summer. Summer days are hot but the town stays quieter.
