Packing List

baja packing list

BahiaVista faces the beautiful Los Frailes Bay near Cabo Pulmo . It is located in southern Baja on the Sea of Cortez;  it’s a desert-type environment and the sun is very powerful. Lightweight clothing is recommended, as well as plenty of sunscreen. Some suggestions are provided below.  PackingList is a downloadable PDF that can be printed. It contains many items that we feel are essential.

  1. Light weight, fast drying full length shirts, and camping trousers (not jeans) with zip-off sleeves. Exofficio, REI, and Kuhle have great clothing for Baja.
  2. Fully closed gym shoes or hiking shoes. Sandals and water shoes are also recommended.
  3. Shorts and Bathing Suits.
  4. A large supply of sunscreen. We love BullFrog WaterArmor Sport Quik Gel.
  5. First Aide Kit and MultiFunction Knife or Leatherman Tool.
  6. Toiletry kit and Prescription Medicines.
  7. LED flashlight and batteries. They are very low energy and their batteries last many times longer.
  8. Passport, RFID wallet, and sufficient cash for any emergencies, including some Pesos. The best place to get Pesos in Mexico is from an ATM.
  9. Snorkel Equipment.
  10.  Camera and Binoculars.
  11. Chargers for cell phones, tablets and Laptops. USB battery backups are very  useful, for ex. AmazonBasics.
