Estero San José: Spanish colonists were originally drawn to the tip of the Baja Peninsula by the promise of fresh water. Here, a large estuary, home to hundreds of species of birds, connects the Pacific Ocean to an underground river that flows out of the sierra.

Bahías Chileno and Santa María: Two of the Corridor’s most popular and accessible beaches offer safe swimming and good snorkeling.
