It's mid-February—the perfect time to finally book that off-road trip with your crew. If you've been dreaming of carving through Baja’s terrain, now’s your chance. Gather your buddies, load up the trucks, and embark on your journey to San Juanico, home of Scorpion Bay Hotel. While summer draws surfers to the points, the winter months offer ideal conditions for off-road enthusiasts looking to explore Baja’s untouched landscapes.
Off the Beaten Path: Baja Off-Roading Adventure
Here’s your route to an unforgettable off-road adventure, with scenic stops and essential tips to make the most of your trip:
1. Kick Off in San Diego or Tijuana
Start your journey from the U.S. border, where you can either take the scenic coastal route through Ensenada or head inland for a more rugged experience. Be sure to have your Mexican auto insurance, passports, and vehicle permits in order.
2. San Felipe: Your First Baja Stop
If you chose to cross in the Mexicali boarder crossing, break up your drive with a stop in San Felipe, a small seaside town known for its fresh seafood, warm beaches, and Baja racing culture. Fill up on gas, grab some famous fish tacos, and enjoy the laid-back vibes before heading deeper into the Baja Peninsula.
3. The Legendary Gonzaga Bay & Coco’s Corner
Take the off-road route through Gonzaga Bay, where pristine beaches meet the Sea of Cortez. From there, make a pit stop at Coco’s Corner, a legendary Baja waypoint.
4. Conquer the Baja Desert to San Ignacio
This stretch takes you through some of the most scenic and remote parts of Baja, with towering cacti and winding dirt roads. San Ignacio, an oasis town, offers a great place to refuel and even check out its historic mission. 5. Drive to Scorpion Bay
This stretch takes you through the unmapped and remote areas of Baja and is perfect for that beefy off-road vehilce of yours. The infamous 'North Road' will get you to Scorpion Bay and is certainly the best off-roading of your whole trip.
6. Arrive at Scorpion Bay – Your Off-Roading Paradise
San Juanico welcomes you with open arms. After a long haul, reward yourself with a cold drink, a delicious meal, and a sunset over the bay. Scorpion Bay Hotel offers the perfect spot to rest up before tackling more Baja trails.
7. Hit the Local Trails & Beaches
Whether you’re cruising the sandy coastline or exploring the surrounding desert, San Juanico has a mix of terrain for all skill levels. Spend the day riding, then unwind at the hotel’s bar and restaurant.
