If you're a waterperson, you already know: Baja isn't just a destination, it's a pilgrimage.
From Ensenada's surf breaks to Cabo's marlin grounds, up into the protected Gulf of California - Jacques Cousteau's "World's Aquarium" - this is where blue water dreams come alive.
I created this map because Baja belongs to those chasing perfect barrels, hunting trophy fish, or exploring hidden anchorages where desert meets sea. This coast is where legends are made.
Most maps start with highways, but not this map of Mexico.
This one starts with the blue because this is a map of Baja and the Gulf of California made for those who live by the tides. It highlights what matters to a waterperson: the critical navigation points like Cabo Falso, Punta Eugenia, and Angel de la Guarda Island. It shows the legendary fishing grounds like the Cortez Banks and Mag Bay. It has the ports where you clear customs, fuel up, and stock provisions like Ensenada, La Paz, and Cabo San Lucas. The compass rose is pulled from a marine chart. The scale is in nautical miles. The distance to your next landfall runs out into the big blue yonder.
This is a map made for adventure. It's for sailors, surfers, fishers, divers, and anyone who answers the call of warm water and endless blue horizons.
