We have had a fair amount of inquiries about nude beaches
in Baja. First off it is not really legal to be nude in public in Mexico. In
fact the Mexican people don’t consider it really proper for men to go
without shirts at restaurants for example (see
Insider Notebook). However, as many of us know in the resort towns like
Ensenada, La Paz,
Cabo, and San Jose del Cabo, things can be a bit more lax as far as
enforcing the laws.
 Still
we do not recommend people go nude in public. However as many of us also
know there are endless remote beaches where there is no public. Baja California is an 800 mile
long peninsula. It is like a three sided island with 2,038 miles of
coastline, so you can imagine the beaches.

 Another
way to nude sunbath and really get a tan fast, is to head off into the
desert. There are many areas with beautiful views, shade (nice to have to
take a break) and rock outcroppings to lie around on and sunbathe with the
lizards.
Make sure
to bring lots of water to drink, as well as to douse yourself with and
you can really
 eliminate those tan lines quickly. Spray bottles and sun
showers (left in the shade of course) are great for this. Some of these
areas are true oasis with running water, small falls and even hot springs.
Just ask around the area you are in and many of the locals will point out
some of the better swimming holes for the area.

For this reason, those that wish to be free of the usual
beachwear can be, if they just go find their own beach. So if you are one of
those women that likes to go topless, or one finds even a thong (A
Thing About Thongs) just too restricting then just plan to venture out,
off the beaten bath and you shall find freedom. This is easily achieved even
if you are in one of the larger towns. In Baja you do not have to travel too
far, to find yourself (literally) in the remoter areas.
 If
you rental car and drive for less than an hour from any of the major towns
you may find yourself at a bay, beach or desert solitude without any public.
Just be sure and keep your clothes, towel or a sarong
nearby in case someone does just happen to come along. No matter how remote
you may think you are there is always a chance that you are nearby someone’s
rancho or home. Many times the open beach with lots of space where you can
see anyone coming for a ways is the safest way to layout nude.

Another easy way to get away from the crowd is to hire up a boat, panga,
sailboat or kayaks and head off to some of the remote islands, inlets or
estuaries.
 In most towns, even the smallest, if there are islands nearby there is
generally someone ready to rent or taxi you out and leave you alone for a
specified time.
So no worries if you are looking to get away from it all
so you can bare it all, the Baja has plenty of space to be left alone in. (Map
of Baja) If you have any questions about specific areas feel free to
write and we will try inform you as best as possible as to how and where to
really escape el publico.
Have
a great time and **Just be smart,
stay hydrated and use sun
protection at all times***

 Why
are people driving towards me, flashing their lights at me? Is this some game
played by Baja gangs where they are picking out tourist as targets?
No, people driving in the opposite direction are flashing their lights at you
and many times drive with their flashers on to tell you of a hazard ahead.
Whether it be an accident ahead, breakdown, road repair or the roving animals
of the Baja they are giving you a courtesy notice to be aware. “Mucho Ojo” as
the Mexican’s says. So take notice slow down and remember to offer the same
courtesy to drivers when you encounter hazards ahead of them.
By helping one another, we can make driving the Baja, safer for all of us.
