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
