Pacific Adventures

Bluewater Fishing, Shore Fishing and Diving

The 200 miles of beautiful and isolated coast between Los Cabos and Bahia Magdalena offer rich seamounts and marine Banks for the Pacific sports and game fisherman, but without a single launching site offering beach power, water, secure parking and accommodations!

The Rancho la Aguja marine facilities are now open to sports fishermen for beach launching, retrieval, washdowns and secure storage for their marine equipment. The adjacent Playas Pacificas development offers an ideal home-base for marine activities, from kite surfing to down-rigging for marlin - together with preferred resident rates.

Advantages For Marine Sports

Rancho la Aguja, is perfectly located as a secure base for the mid-Pacific fisherman/boater:
Launching the boat
  • Easy access from Highway One and La Paz

  • A good launching beach (for boats to Super Panga weight)

  • Secure storage/launch assistance

  • Four major marine banks within comfortable reach for angling and diving

  • Miles of open, deserted beaches to explore

  • Bahia Magdalena, an interesting bay and fly-fishing destination, is just 65kms up the coast

  • The secure onsite boating, shore and bluewater-fishing support facilities at Rancho la Aguja add significantly to mid-Pacific recreational access and the attraction of Playas Pacificas as a residential base for both serious and recreational anglers and boaters.

    Deep Sea Fishing

    Fishing varies from fair to excellent, depending on the season, with some of the most productive offshore grounds on the Pacific side of Baja found here: world-renowned tuna grounds at the Morgan, Potato and Finger Banks, old mossyback cows out at the Lusitania Banks. Closer to shore there are good numbers of tuna, wahoo, dorado, yellowtail, groupers and snappers.
