This region has become one of Mexico's most popular coastal getaways, with deluxe hotels, championship golf courses, and some of the finest sportfishing in the world. According to legend, pirates found the tip of Baja an ideal lookout for spotting Spanish galleons traveling from the Philippines to Spain's empire in central Mexico. Search as you may for plundered gold, today's treasures are found in the record-breaking game fish of "Marlin Alley" and in the black coral jewelry fashioned by local artisans.
