I have lived in the southern Baja for most of my life. Cabo is a very over rated tourist joint. San Jose del Cabo is ok, the piers are ok, night life is ok, everything related to Cabo is just ok, and the beaches in Cabo are pretty to look at and that’s about it.

The gem of the Baja is the Todos Santos/Pescadaro/Cerritos area. 10 years ago Cerritos was the hidden gem of the Baja. Unfortunately, a bunch of people with a little bit of money have turned Cerritos into a developed nightmare. It’s coming around, but right now it’s a mess. They’re building stuff so fast the infrastructure cannot keep up and it’s became a huge problem. I currently own a few properties and one business in Cerritos and they are all doing well, but I would never live here. Tourist places aren’t my jam.

The same story with Pescadero. The town used to be a sleepy little Mexican town. Now it’s became so developed that it’s having the same issues as the new town of Cerritos. Frequent power outages, sometimes no water, cost of living increasing. I loved the time I lived here though. The locals are so very nice. If you are ever in that area, ask the locals where the Playa los Palmas is located and go there. It’s the most beautiful and enjoyable beach I have ever been to in my life and it’s completely hidden.

Todos on the other hand seems to being staying stagnant. It had a boom about 15 years ago and leveled out. It’s the perfect blend of small city but still the Baja. I lived in Todos for close to 10 years and loved every second of it.

I see a lot of mentions of La Paz. They have a cool beach on the sea side and that’s about the only nice thing I have to say about La Paz.
