Sportfishing

The waters off Ensenada are rife with yellowtail, white sea bass, halibut, red snapper, and more. Head to the pier next to the Fish Market to find the perfect guide and vessel to hook the big one. Look for daily local trips to Todos Santos Island, Punta Banda, and San Miguel reef, plus seasonal longer trips to the outer banks. bestbajafishing.org

Las Cañadas

This sprawling recreational park and campground is all about family fun. Kids love the Pirate Cove Water Park with 23 slides and the multiple pools. The adrenaline-packed zip-line canopy tour features five hair-raising zip-lines and five hanging bridges. Explore the countryside on ATVs, mountain bikes, or horseback. Guests can pitch a tent, rent an eco-cabin, or slumber in a Sioux Indian–style teepee. lascanadas.com

La Bufadora

Ever see a marine geyser shoot seawater upwards of 80 feet? It’s worth the scenic 17-mile drive over the Punta Banda Mountains to witness this natural phenomenon. Enjoy great souvenir shopping and seafood snacks along the stroll to the geyser. Or get underwater; this diver’s paradise has nearby caves, pinnacles, and abundant sea life. labufadoradive.com

Surfers come from around the globe to charge the waves off Ensenada. Todos Santo Bay is the sixth World Surfing Reserve and the first one in Mexico. There’s something for every kind of surfer, from gentle waves at Playa Hermosa and swells at El Pico for intermediates to 50- to 60-foot monsters off Todos Santos Island for big-wave experts only.
