Get in
By boat
During high season most people get here via private yacht or fishing boat. If you are yachting up and down the Sea of Cortez, Bahia de LA is an obvious place to stop and get off. You can get a cold beer, hot food and the mooring is good.By car
The road from HWY 1 is good and is the other way to get in. It is a long trek in from HWY 1 though and there's really no trail there so not so many people do. The road is mostly used by trucks that bring in supplies to the yachters and fishermen.By plane
Bahía de los Ángeles Airportis a paved airstrip which handles general aviation services.

Camping: Sleep somewhere with walls and preferably with air conditioning. During various times of the year Westies (hot dry westerly winds) come boiling off the desert plateau and sweep across the town. 46°C (115°F) temperature with 130 km/h (80 mph) winds and 1% humidity at 3AM is something everyone should experience... once.
