Have the Best Spring Break Ever in La Paz Mexico



Everyone is ready for a vacation by the time Spring Break rolls around – college students are feeling burnt out from months of studying, and all you want to do is soak up the sun on a gorgeous beach with an ice-cold margarita in hand. If you haven’t given much thought as to where you’ll spend these precious vacation days, we have a suggestion for your best Spring Break ever: La Paz, Mexico, in Southern Baja California.


La Paz Mexico Spring Break


Why spend Spring Break in La Paz?
Mexico is the ultimate Spring Break destination for young people in the US and Canada, for obvious reasons. Most people end up following the herd and settling for Cancun on the east coast or Cabo San Lucas on the west, but if you want to have the best trip ever, you have to blaze your own trail. La Paz is Mexico’s best kept secret, but word is getting out fast about this incredible beach paradise.

Want to party with your friends on a boat, cervezas in hand, dancing in the sun and waving at passing dolphins? Stay out all night partying hard at bars and dance clubs? Snorkel with sea turtles, manta rays, whale sharks and even sea lions? Or maybe you just want to stretch out on pristine, white sand beaches with a margarita and listen to the gentle waves crashing onto the shore.

Best. Vacation. Ever.
Whatever floats your boat when it comes to Spring Break, La Paz can deliver and will completely blow your mind. People come here to have an awesome time all year round, intrigued by all of the things La Paz has to offer that Los Cabos and other places just can’t compete with.


If you’re ok with same old, same old, you’ll probably have a decent time elsewhere. But if you want to camp out on an uninhabited desert island that is home to the (official) most beautiful beach in Mexico, there’s only one place to do it, and it’s La Paz.

5 Reasons La Paz Has Mexico’s Best Snorkeling Outside the Caribbean

The most amazing snorkeling experience is closer than you think! There’s no need to go all the way to Cancun to get your diving fix. Much closer to home in Baja California Sur is the beautiful beach city of La Paz, Mexico. If you need a bit more to go on than that, we’ve got 5 reasons why La Paz has the best snorkeling in Western Mexico.



1. UNESCO says so

Out in the Gulf of California, past the Bay of La Paz is the island of Espiritu Santo, which has been designated a Biosphere by UNESCO for over 20 years. This uninhabited island’s land and marine habitats have an astonishing biodiversity with some species that can’t be found anywhere else in the world.

2. Travel Magazine says so

All of the beaches in La Paz are gorgeous, but the beach on Espiritu Santo takes the cake, being rated the most beautiful beach in all of Mexico by Travel Magazine and one of the top 12 in the entire world.

3. You get to snorkel with baby sea lions

La Paz’s Espiritu Santo is one of the few places in the world where you can dive with friendly, wild sea lions in their natural habitat at Los Islotes. These playful creatures have a colony on the northern tip of the island and people come from all over the world to swim with the females and young.

4. Also… whales!

While the reefs in La Paz are dominated by the sorts of tropical fish you would expect, just beyond them are many larger species that make for a once in a lifetime experience, including sea turtles, dolphins and yes, whales!

5. Or, if you’re feeling brave, sharks

Okay, they’re whale sharks, which only eat plankton and don’t have any teeth. But then you can go back home and tell everyone you snorkeled fearlessly in shark-infested waters, and it wouldn’t be a lie!
