Todos Santos
in Baja California

An hour north of Cabo along the Pacific coast of Baja California Sur, Todos Santos is what happens when artists, surfers, and farmers share the same small town and nobody is in a particular hurry. The streets are lined with colonial-era buildings that now house galleries, restaurants, and mezcal bars of surprising quality. The beach breaks nearby are serious, the whale-watching offshore between January and March is exceptional, and the surrounding desert, with its forests of cardon cactus, is unlike anything on the mainland. It remains, for now, pleasingly under the radar.
