The SEA of CORTEZ  runs the distance 
of the Baja Peninsula and is one of the 
youngest bodies of salt water.  The
Baja slowly moved away from the mainland of 
Mexico some 5 million years ago created by 
the San Andres Fault.

 The Sea of Cortez is one of the richest 
marine environments providing a vast 
spectrum of sea life.
It is the home to numerous types of
whales, several differentspecies of dolphins,
turtles andbig game fish.  The best time to 
whale watch is during the months of November 
to March with the peak months of the whale
migration being  from January to March. The 
Cape region is noted as one of the worlds 
best places for game fishing,with the best 
season being during hurricane season from 
July to early October.  To preserve the 
beauty and ecosystems of the Baja and Sea of Cortez, Catch and Release is 
a common and wise practice.
