From the white sand beaches of Cancun and turquoise waters of Cozumel to the exclusive resorts of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico is popular among Americans for a tropical getaway.  One place that is more often overlooked is La Paz.  Situated just 100 miles north from the tip of Baja Sur California, La Paz has beautiful beaches, tropical waters and way less tourists that the other hotspots.  The landscape is mountainous and filled with red rocks.  It is as if Arizona were moved to the beach. 

La Paz, Mexico is a hidden gym amongst the big name Mexcian resort cities. Situated at the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula on the Sea of Cortez, it is surrounded by beautiful turquoise waters that rival those of the Caribbean. Just a short flight from California, La Paz makes a weekend trip to paradise easy.
