Golden beaches, open desert, and the blue Sea of Cortez define one of Baja’s most distinctive coastlines. Fishing villages dot the shore, while inland, freshwater swimming holes and mountain trails lead toward the Sierra de la Laguna.

Before there was Costa Palmas, there was a walk. Traversing miles of untouched coastline, desert, and palms, our founder, Jason Grosfeld, experienced something increasingly rare: a place that still felt entirely itself. That first journey revealed a remarkable landscape worthy of careful stewardship.

Warm, swimmable waters, rich with life

Jacques Cousteau called the Sea of Cortez “the world’s aquarium,” and its extraordinary marine life remains part of its allure. At Costa Palmas, those waters are also calm, warm, and swimmable year-round—inviting long mornings in the sea, afternoons on a paddleboard, and exploration farther offshore.

There’s more than one way into the East Cape. Turn inland toward the Sierra de la Laguna for freshwater swimming holes, fertile farms, mountain trails, all part of a landscape shaped by mountain, desert, and sea.
