La Paz is known for its coastal boardwalk, which feeds into the restaurants, bars, beaches, and parks that make this region a paradise during the day and the night. Public art by both Mexican and international artists adds a level of sophistication and cultural allure. Due to its proximity to the Gulf of California, La Paz boasts a verdant landscape and a wealth of marine areas that are big draws for naturalists, with the Espiritu Santo and Partida islands recognized for having ecosystems of great biological value. La Paz is the perfect place to enjoy the surf, eco-tourism, sports, water activities, and quiet walks away from the bustle that can be found in other cities in the region.
