Bahía de los Ángeles Pemex and Marina
This dusty fishing village sits on the protected waters of Bahía de los Ángeles, offering the last reliable fuel and supplies for miles in either direction. The Pemex station anchors a small cluster of tiendas, restaurants, and the town’s famous turtle museum. Overlanders stock up on basics here — canned goods, water, ice, and cold Tecate — while taking in views of Guardian Angel Island across the impossibly blue bay.
The 42-mile paved spur road off Mexico Highway 1 is in decent shape, though watch for potholes near town. Cell service is spotty at best. The bay’s protected waters make this a popular winter destination for snowbirds, so expect company from December through March.
Last fuel before the deep desert
