Parque Nacional Bahía de Loreto is a protected marine and island reserve off the coast of Loreto, Baja California Sur, encompassing more than 200,000 hectares of the Sea of Cortez and five main uninhabited islands: Coronados, del Carmen, Danzante, Montserrat, and Santa Catalina. Designated a national park, Ramsar wetland, and UNESCO World Heritage Site, this pristine seascape of turquoise waters, rocky reefs, golden beaches, and sea cliffs is a premier venue for low‑impact nature experiences—whale watching, snorkeling, diving, kayaking, and hiking—amid extraordinary biodiversity that includes blue whales, dolphins, sea lions, and countless seabirds.
