On the Tropic of Cancer in Baja California, Todos Santos lies between 7,000 ft. mountains and the white, sandy beaches of the Pacific in a spring fed desert oasis. It is a pueblo of about 7,000 people with shops, restaurants, 9 art galleries and workshops in fine arts, writing, pottery, meditation, Yoga and Tai Chi.

Las Palmas is the first quality accomodation on the return drive from the towns' safest swimming beach, mid-way between the two best surfing sites.

Fly to International Airports in La Paz or Cabo San Lucas (very reasonable airfaire available from Los Angeles) where rental cars are easily available to drive the hour or so of scenic highway to Todos Santos.
