Pescadero, Baja California Sur, Mexico

playa-las-palmas-pacific-7584_r2From Cabo San Lucas, drive north on Highway 19 past the farming village of Pescadero until you reach Km. 58 and see the old agricultural research station (Campo Experimental Todos Santos) on the right hand side of the highway. The access is difficult to find as the highway is elevated more that the shouldler. Look for the access road near an electical pole. Access may be easier if you turn arround at the old Campo Experimental Todos Santos and look for the access road. Follow the well maintained dirt access road on your left 1.3 miles and it will take you almost to the beach of Playa San Pedro (also known as Playa Las Palmas). – 03 Feb 07 – jat
There is a parking area about 200 yards from the beach. This is definitely one of the most picturesque sites on the Pacific Ocean side and well worth the drive. San Pedro is a quarter mile expanse of beach bordered by a reed lagoon and protected by rock promontories at each end. Groves of palm trees frame this gorgeous strand of beach.
playa-las-palmas_x_7584_r2Ruins of an old sugar cane rancho are nearby, giving the area a ghost town feeling. This is an excellent area for hiking, swimming (with caution) and body surfing. Access to this beach is across private property but is allowed for day use only. Camping and fires are not permitted. Generally there are very few people using this isolated section of Pacific beach.

This is definitely one of the most picturesque sites on the Pacific side and well worth the drive. San Pedro is a quarter mile expanse of beach bordered by a reed lagoon and protected by rock promontories on both sides. Groves of palm trees frame this gorgeous strand of beach. Ruins of an old sugar cane rancho are nearby, giving the area a ghost town ambience. This is an excellent area for hiking, swimming with caution, and body surfing.  Visit this taste of old Baja California soon, plans for an 1100-acre mega resort are on the drawing board and will irrevocably change the lifestyle of these primarily agrarian and fishing communities.
