Puerto Magdalena, Mexico

Baja Magdalena, Mexico

Baja Magdalena, Mexico, located in Comondú, Baja California Sur, is home to Puerto Magdalena. This beautiful port is nestled along the 50 km long Magdalena Bay, known for the seasonal migration of California gray whales that come here to calve during winter. The bay offers spectacular opportunities for commercial and sports fishing. Visitors can also explore the nearby mangrove swamps, which provide sanctuaries for various sea birds. Make sure to visit San Carlos, a small fishing port, and Puerto López Mateos for an unforgettable whale watching experience. The bay is bordered by the unpopulated sandy barrier islands of Isla Magdalena and Isla Santa Margarita. Isla Magdalena, with its small settlement of Puerto Magdalena, is a must-see spot, especially during the whale watching season. Santa Margarita island, to the south, offers stunning views and has Puerto Cortés as the only settlement. With its rich history dating back to the 19th century, Baja Magdalena, Mexico, offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and maritime heritage.
