Los Cabos 2 Bays Kayak & Snorkel at Santa Maria & Chileno Bay

Although located only a short distance apart, Santa Maria Bay and Chileno Bay offer noticeably different marine environments. Santa Maria's horseshoe-shaped cove provides natural protection from prevailing swell, while Chileno Bay is known for its extensive rocky reef habitat. Traveling between the two by kayak offers a perspective of the coastline unavailable from shore, while snorkeling reveals the underwater ecosystems that make the Sea of Cortez one of the world's most celebrated marine environments. Experiencing both bays in a single outing provides a broader appreciation of the coastal diversity found along the Los Cabos shoreline.
