Don't be in a hurry and put away the watch. This section is the heart of our Baja Experience. It gets out of the tourist towns and inches south from Ensenada to the tip of the peninsula, and back up again. This Central Baja area covers the area from Ensenada to Bahia de Los Angeles . Highway 1 curves back and forth from the coast to the inland areas and initially, the scenery here is largely agricultural.
Travelers often get stuck behind large, slow-moving trucks and progress can seem slow.
It's a small community, with rich fishing grounds in the Pacific. On the north side of the town, on the east side of the road, is Mission Santa Isabel, a very clean restaurant with authentic Mexican food. Locals and truckers eat here often, which is also a reassuring sign. This is because the area was inhabited by Germans in the early 20th Century. A good overnight stop is The Old Mill.
