Lovely place to walk. Don't take your car. Gets busy at parking area. Walk the harbor and enjoy the birds. Lots of pangas tours. Restaurant. Ecological preserve passes.

I enjoyed a leisurely bike ride along the Loreto Malecón in mid-March 2025. It's a great place to watch seabirds and enjoy sunrise and sunset. Silhouettes of the islands of Loreto Bay National Park (Parque Nacional Bahía de Loreto) can be seen from the boardwalk. It's a short walk or bike ride from the main plaza. Very nice area!

I recently returned from a week-long trip to Loreto, BCS, Mexico, and one of the highlights of my stay was undoubtedly the Malecón de Loreto. I found myself drawn to this beautiful waterfront promenade at least twice a day, and it quickly became a cherished part of my routine. Waking up early to watch the sunrise over the water was a fantastic treat. The picturesque scenery, with its stunning views of the Sea of Cortez, was nothing short of breathtaking. Whether bathed in the soft morning light or the golden hues of sunset, the Malecón offered a serene and captivating experience. One of the most remarkable aspects of the Malecón de Loreto is its tranquility. Unlike more bustling tourist destinations, Loreto remains relatively low on the tourist radar, which means the Malecón is generally peaceful and quiet. This made my morning and evening walks particularly enjoyable, providing the perfect setting for relaxation and reflection. The busiest day I experienced was Sunday evening, which brought a delightful buzz of local families and visitors enjoying the waterfront. Even then, the atmosphere was vibrant yet still maintained an air of calm. Throughout the rest of the week, the Malecón was a haven of peace, allowing me to fully appreciate its natural beauty and charm. Overall, the Malecón de Loreto is a must-visit spot for anyone traveling to this hidden gem of a town. Whether you're looking to start your day with a serene sunrise or unwind with a tranquil evening stroll, the Malecón provides a perfect backdrop for creating lasting memories. I can't wait to return and relive those peaceful moments.

Worth visiting. Very clean, modern and safe. With amazing views. At the north side there are palapas for free use, where you can swim. There are restaurants in the area. Some more hidden in the adjacent roads. The bird life is amazing. Actually if Mars had water, this is what it would look like. There is also de Marina to visit.

Seafood restaurant
Los Olivos Restaurant is a classy dining establishment located on the second floor of the Mision Hotel in Loreto. The restaurant offers a seasonal menu with a variety of dishes, including sea bass over portabella, beets and carrots with bechamel, pesto, and clam sauce. It provides both indoor and outdoor seating, swift service, and live piano performances for a magical dining experience.
Delicious food, great service and beautiful view to the marina, the main corredor. Only downside is the loud music coming from drivers on the corredor day and night. But everything else makes it worth coming back.

Both our meals were top notch with very high quality ingredients. Atmosphere was Ok, but would have preferred not having to have a view of the open kitchen. Service was a little awkward with a few different people attending to our dining experience. Nice that they asked immediately what type of water we wanted, just clued in that there was a cost associated with it when it showed up in bottles. Would like to try the patio in the future (when warmer). All in all great food, kudos to the chef and kitchen staff.

If you're here on a Sunday, do not miss the brunch. We had the breakfast buffet on a Friday and it was delicious, but on Sunday they bring out live entertainment and a giant dessert table as well as their famous pozole soup and quesadilla station. Fresh squeezed orange juice is included in the price as is coffee. Dinner is also amazing, the shrimp taquitos were the absolute best! And in hindsight, I would have ordered multiples of that for dinner. The Los olivos fish was really good but I kept dreaming about the taquitos. I found their margarita too sweet, but the smoky Testa Dura wine was a win. The lemon pie was the best of the desserts we ordered.
Nadine R — Google review
Breakfast buffet good. Lots of selection. We also ordered breakfast and desserts off the menu. Would recommend the Eggs Benedict, Spanish and Mexican eggs. Cheesecake, flan and brownie a la more were also well liked. If paying with credit card bring Pesos for tipping. Tipping not an option while using machines. This was pretty standard in Loreto. I wish I knew this earlier. Also warning: do not leave your food unattended if eating outside. House sparrows will definitely help themselves.

The outside is a lovely, peaceful, scenic place for breakfast. The food was great. The service was good, too - there when we needed it, but not overly attentive. We stayed for a while enjoying the environment and didn't feel pressured to move along.

I was able to enjoy both dinner and breakfast while staying at the hotel. I had the tapenade, Greek salad, Los Olivos fish with steamed vegetables and mashed potatoes for dinner. The Mexican omelette for breakfast. Friendly service, excellent views of the ocean. Enjoy your meal inside (to avoid competing with hungry flies) and finish with drinks on the patio. Dinner was good, breakfast was great. All very comfortably priced and generous portions.

Absolutely amazing, food, service and atmosphere... and very reasonable price. We had dinner, two appetizers, two drinks each, each had entrees, and two desserts and ended up being $50 each. And in the very nice Mission hotel overlooking the malecon. Best meal in Loreto, don't miss it.

Loreto Islas is a restaurant located near the marina, offering breathtaking views of the water and a diverse menu featuring delectable seafood dishes. The catch of the day ceviche and grilled fish with flavorful sides are among the highlights. Situated on the waterfront, this spot serves delicious meals throughout the day, from breakfast to late-night bites. Guests praise its consistency in delivering hot and tasty dishes, with generous portion sizes and beautiful presentation.
This place recommended by a frequenter. Outstanding food and service. We both had sea bass (cabrillo), which was recommended by our excellent waiter Thomas. The perfectly cooked fish was served on a bed of heavenly rice. The salad, pico de gallo, and the chips were very good also.

Made it here mid morning from La Paz and stopped for breakfast. The food and coffee weren’t bad, the service is what made the experience less than appetizing. I live in La Paz where the lack of customer service is the norm but here they definitely won. I had to ask for coffee 3 separate times, I had to ask for the check 2 separate times, thankfully only had to ask for a to go box once, and when I asked for salsa they brought the Mexican Lindo habanero bottle from Oxxo. Mind you, communication the entire time was in Spanish so a language barrier is not to blame.

We stopped here for an adult beverage this afternoon and wound up having 3 amazing margaritas each and an order of their nachos with guacamole topping, which was fantastic and provided more food than the two of us could finish. The view of the Sea of Cortez and the Loreto Malecón topped off the experience.

Our breakfast was excellent. The chilaquiles were saucy and flavorful. The omelet con machaca y chorizo was delicious too! Our waiter, Yerico, was very attentive. They had a limited number of people inside to maintain social distancing. The ocean view was the cherry on top :)

The avacado salad was delicious as well as the sea bass with garlic preparation. But they only had one gentleman server and very slow and non-caring demeanor. Took twenty minutes to get the check and I was the last person in the restaurant. Too bad as great meal was overshadowed by deplorable service.

Orlando's Restaurante in Loreto, Mexico is a local favorite known for its excellent food and generous portions of Mexican classics. While open for all meals, breakfast is particularly popular with long lines forming outside. The outdoor dining area has a lovely vibe and affordable prices, making it an easy favorite in town. The restaurant offers delicious Mexican favorites, the freshest seafood, and a full drink list. Although not fine dining, the food is outstanding with the cilantro fish dish being a standout.
Great place! Service was quick and attentive, food was excellent and the cervezas were cold. The homemade empanadas we had as an appetizer were soooo good. Kudos to the kitchen staff for creating high quality food. Really cozy dining experience and it was really cool to have a 3 person band wander in during our meal and perform 3 songs before moving on. Definitely put this place on your list of must visit. Bravo Orlando's.

The Mission of Our Lady of Loreto, also known as Mision de Nuestra Senora de Loreto Concho, is a historic monument located in downtown Loreto. Established in 1697, it holds significance as the site where Spanish colonization of the Baja California Peninsula began. The mission is a beautiful church with a simple yet charming interior and serves as an important part of the town's history dating back to the 1600s.
Gorgeous building & inner wall paintings. Unfortunately, many framed painting are in need of restoration due to sun & temperature exposure. Loreto is a quiet & friendly gem.

This is a really gorgeous church in the heart of one of our favorite places in Baja California, Loreto. It sits at the beginning of a beautiful walkway that leads out to the sea and includes a bunch of different bars, restaurants and boutiques. This is the spot to visit in Lareto if you’re looking to get an overall vibe of this place. If it’s during winter time, we’re a little jacket as it can get quite breezy, especially around sunset and closer to the water.

Jr's & George's Restaurant and Storage is a popular spot in Loreto, conveniently located just a few blocks from the main plaza. While known for its cocktails, it also offers delicious tacos that shouldn't be missed. The restaurant has gained a reputation for its creative condiments and tapas-style approach to tacos. Visitors have raved about the fresh, made-to-order food and highlighted the friendly service provided by the husband-and-wife team who own the place.
On a quiet, windy evening we stopped in at Jr & Georges for an awesome meal. From the margheritas and tortilla soup, to the fajitas and flan it was all delicious. But the grilled octopus was fantastic! Great family-run restaurant - Highly recommended.

We've been here many, many times during the past two winters in BCS. I had been on a mission to find the best margarita on the rocks and my hubby has been on a mission to find the best shrimp tacos, and here we found the winner for both, hands down! We have tried most items on the menu and even the Tampequeña, which was absolutely fantastic. My personal fav are the Chuletazo tacos on corn tortillas and my hubby's fav is the garlic "shrimp to taste" a la plancha, or the chicken fajitas, both also fantastic. The food is made fresh to order, and the lovely husband and wife are a dream team, and this is our regular and favorite Loreto eatery. We highly recommend eating here, or even just for the margaritas and homemade taco chips and salsa. 🥰

Great food & very reasonably priced. We went there for breakfast this morning, we ordered coffee, Agua Fresca (piña) & two gorditas (one chicken tinga & one mushroom). Everything was delicious & under 200$ pesos, it was perfect for us. Most of the patrons eating at the restaurant were locals that made it feel like more of an authentic experience. Seems like they do a ton of to-go orders too. Also their salsa was so fresh with a nice kick! We will be going back!

Santo Cielo Cocina Gourmet is a popular upscale outdoor restaurant located near the Mission Loreto, offering an exquisite dining experience. The chef personally engages with diners to discuss the menu, and their lobster dish comes highly recommended. Despite facing challenges during the pandemic and plaza renovations, Santo Cielo has maintained its excellent service, professional staff, delicious cuisine, and reasonable prices. The lovely outdoor setting on the pedestrian mall adds to its charm.
Easy to find Service can be kind of slow They speak English Price is slightly higher, but the portion and tastes are fantastic The guacamole and chips for $13 USD is nothing special The arrachero was delicious! At about $23, the portion was large, and it was served with grilled corn, baked potatoes, and grilled veggies. The corn and baked potato were good! The flank steak was tender, juicy, and the perfect chew to it. I would highly recommend!

Loreto is such a beautiful little town and we stopped at Santo Cielo Cocina Gourmet for lunch. Francisco was our server and provided insight on the menu. We ordered margaritas which were excellent. We then ordered the sea bass tacos which were salty and fishy tasting and not our favorite. The chile relleno was covered in green sauce and had no egg batter yet a chile just smothered in green sauce. Another disappointment. The margaritas, chips and guacamole were stellar hence the 3 star score and the service and ambiance were good as well. Once again the City of Loreto is a beautiful spot when traveling.

The place was very nice, the live music was nice, there weren't many people literally it wasn't that busy. Only 3 tables with people. we ordered something to drink, Which took too long to have our drinks. I ordered an octopus and after a while, the waiter came to say he was sorry that there was no octopus, so I ordered something else. My husband ordered some breaded fish tacos and after a long while, he came to say that he was sorry that there was no breading for the fish, that he was going to grill them, To which we told him ok, well, it's fine, but they were terrible. After asking for the bill, it took a long time to get it and on the bill receipt it said, suggested tip and it was added to the total. When it came time to pay, the waiter asked if we were going to give a tip and by mistake, we put yes, but then we clarified what it was that was already on the receipt to which she said it was only a tax, but a tax is not entered as a suggested tip. The credit card machine had no paper. So he couldn't give us a receipt. The service was really, really, really terrible. Too bad for the place, it's nice and you can have a good time, but the service leaves a lot to talk about.

This restaurant in Loreto is truly a gem. The ambiance is nothing short of magical, with its stunning courtyard seating that creates an inviting and relaxed atmosphere. Live music often enhances the experience, making every visit feel special. The staff is engaging and attentive, ensuring you feel valued from the moment you arrive. Every time I visit Loreto, I make it a point to eat here, and each time I am blown away by how incredible the food is. It’s not just the best dining experience I’ve had in Loreto—it’s the best I’ve had anywhere. This place sets the bar high for culinary excellence, service, and atmosphere. A must-visit for anyone in the area!

It was tasty but the portions sizes are horribly small, even not enough for a kid. I complained immediately to the server and he brought another portion of fish and it's the only reason why i gave 5 Stars. We all went to the grocery store after to get food. The live band was great there was heated areas. I wouldn't come back, because when i spend 32$ on a meal i don't want to have get food afterwards because I'm still hungry. Also they only take Visa or cash, that's annoying be aware, everyone has MasterCard nowadays, for the price you charge for the food you can afford MasterCard come on.

Excellent place to enjoy the view and have a great dinner. The quantity of each plate it little but with good flavor. However, the chicken fajitas were a lot! More for a child hahahaha. i ordered the grilled octopus, it tastes great but it was a little hard to cut and chew. The service great!! Every employee was very polite. My daughter wants to return to have dinner ☺️

The atmosphere here is amazing. The live music was perfect for the spot and very enjoyable. However, food was a disappointment we ordered a lobster molcajete. Have been in La Paz for two months and didn't expect it to be half the size and twice the price. The lobster was over cooked, one Napoli do, one onion, huge pile of cilantro on top and the molcajete had part of the side broken out. Very disappointing.

The food was pricey and a 75.00 US bar tab for a total of 175.00 US dollars for dinner and drinks was much more than I expected for Loreto The Chipotle Shrimp and crème sauce vegetables (carrots) and Rice were ok

Giggling Dolphin in Loreto, Mexico is a popular dining spot with a vibrant atmosphere and delicious food. The chefs are known for preparing freshly caught fish and serving up flavorful margaritas and spicy bloody Marys. The menu offers a variety of dishes including chicken mole, seafood, salads, and chicken Cordon Bleu with an unbeatable gravy. The restaurant features colorful tables and umbrellas on its streetside patio bar and upper deck, providing a picturesque setting just steps away from the shoreline.
One of the gems of Loreto. Some of the best micheladas in town!! Live music on Saturday nights and right next to the Malecon. If you bring your own fish they do them up three different ways, all delicious. Can't go wrong 😎

Super disappointing. Went for margaritas and ceviche. We were the only people in the place, due to it being only 4pm. The margaritas were super sweet and didn’t seem to contain alcohol. Just meh. The ceviche was basically fish, onions and cucumber in Clamato juice. Not very good at all. They served it with a couple saltines (which I don’t care for but not their fault). We’ve had better ceviche and margaritas at 3 other places in and around baja over the last 6 weeks. The prices were more like American prices as well which was disappointing.

The food was good and the service was extraordinary. They didn't have any Dos XX even though it was on the menu, so my husband decided not to order a drink. Five minutes later the gentleman (owner) came from down the street with Dos XX for my husband. Now that's what I call great customer service.

So, there were 2 waitresses and 1 cooking, the hamburgers were assembled and put in a microwave, it was all bought, from A to Z, and didn't even try to hide it, got served after 50 minutes with 3 packets of creckers, in the box... It was all so just fake and without taste (luckily). Tried to paid with card and didn't accept it, paid with dollars and after 10 minutes got the change back in pesos... (440 pesos change (20$) with a 68$ meal.

Day 2

North side of town
For day 2, we recommend exploring the north side side of town. Start the day off with Asadero Super Burro, then wind down and take it easy by the time you get to Mi Loreto. All together, your day would be filled with about 7 hours of non-stop fun.

Tucked away on a quiet side street off Avenida Miguel Hidalgo, Asadero Super Burro is a popular spot with locals and tourists alike. The unassuming restaurant draws crowds eager to savor its signature offerings, including juicy carne asada and freshly made tortillas. Whether you opt for the mouthwatering tacos or the indulgent papa rellena, a baked potato topped with cheese, mushrooms, corn, and your choice of meat, you're in for a treat.
When you are at Superburro, you should eat a Superburro! This is a ridiculously large one-time-folded burrito that you can adjust to you taste with fresh toppings and homemade sauces. The meat is freshly grilled over charcoal. Ma recommendation goes for the flank steak. Quesadilla are also heaven. I had my customised with cheese and chorizo.

Arrachera super burros were delicious and enormous. Worth the 250 peso price. I ate mine over two sittings. Surprisingly, the flan was also unreal! I don’t even really like flan but it was the best dessert of the trip! Highly recommend.

Great experience! Customer service was really good, and the food was amazing! We ordered a Chicken Burrito with Cheese, and a Steak Burrito and my gosh, those burritos were really big! Definitely caught us off guard! Without doubt, for what you're paying for, you're getting a lot! Only thing I didn't like was how hot the place was, and it was very quiet as they had very dim music playing. But the food was too good that I eventually didn't mind it. All in all, I strongly recommend checking this place out! It'll be worth it. They are taking the appropriate measures due to the pandemic, and they accept both cash and card! No parking lot but plenty of parking in the street right in front.

This is a cute place off the main street that is a must try! The burritos, tacos and flan were delicious. The arrachera meat was so juicy and delicious, I wish I could come every day. Take into consideration that the chefs in the kitchen are working hard to cook this delicious food and it takes time. If you are in a rush or impatient, do not come and leave them a bad review because of your ignorance.

Nestled in a hidden alley just off the main street, Pan Que Pan is a beloved local gem adored for its cozy and Pinterest-perfect ambiance. This quaint cafe and bakery offers an array of fresh bread, pastries, and inventive breakfast dishes that have won the hearts of both locals and visitors. The outdoor courtyard provides a fantastic setting to enjoy their American-style breakfast with sourdough bread, along with freshly baked pastries and great smoothies.
A cute little garden restaurant in the heart of Loreto. From the street it is almost unnoticeable, surrounded by typical old mexican buildings. But, when you sneak in through the prick portal and begin to see colored decorations and a small garden area with a table built from a VW bug, you'll know you have arrived. This is a bakery with hot breakfast available. Honestly, we are not all impressed yet with mexican bakery goods yet, it's just a style that we are not accustomed to yet. Though they did have a nice soft bun with a crema inside. My meal was very good mexican style benedict and my wife enjoyed her fruit plate which was quite a lot of fruit, yogurt and granola. The staff was very friendly, but not especially attentive. Oh, and as with every mexican restaurant, the fresh squeezed orange juice was excellent!

Hidden Gem in Loreto - Pan Que Pan Tucked away in a cozy corner of Loreto, Pan Que Pan is a delightful find once you step inside. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with charming décor that makes you feel right at home. Although the music was a bit too upbeat for an early morning visit, it didn’t overshadow the overall pleasant experience. We ordered breakfast, and both dishes were fantastic. My wife enjoyed a vegetarian omelet, while I opted for the "House"; a hearty chorizo and cheese omelet. Both came with a side of fresh avocado, queso fresco, refried beans, and toast. The toast was a bit on the burnt side, which my wife actually prefers, so it worked out perfectly. The bread basket of pan dulce was another highlight, with each piece tasting fresh and delicious. Service was friendly, though a bit stretched, as our server was quite busy, and we had to flag him down for coffee refills. Despite that, the overall experience was delightful. The prices were reasonable, making it a great value for the quality of food and atmosphere. If you’re in Loreto, definitely give Pan Que Pan a visit. Just keep an eye out for it, as it’s easy to miss. You won’t be disappointed!

First ever mollete; delish. French toast and basket of fresh baking also great. Sides of flank steak and bacon came cold however. Neat vibe. Came back for another breakfast. Was told that they wouldn't open for another 10 minutes. Probably not the best place for a quick bite to eat or if you have hungry teens that can't wait. Would recommend but be prepared to wait.

This charming restaurant beautifully marries Uruguayan and Italian culinary traditions, offering an extensive menu that features mouthwatering international dishes. Guests can indulge in homemade pastas and oven-fired pizzas, all crafted with care right on-site.
Had a great dinner here. Pizza was decent and my wife loved her pasta with fresh cheese. The sangria portions are large and tasty as well. Occasional noisy traffic and it's low season, so maybe kinda loud in high season.

Cute corner spot, decent service, but the food was very disappointing. I had seen all the reviews saying there are lots of vegan options and was excited to have vegan pizza and empanadas. Unfortunately the server said they don’t have vegan cheese, and strangely she acted as if they never have it. She said the green “V” next to those 12 dishes on the menu means they will make it vegan by omitting the cheese(even though the menu said it means vegan.) Cheeseledd pizza didn’t sound satisfying so I ordered the tofu salad, which was acceptable but it cost more than a pizza and was not nearly enough food. It would have been better with bread to bulk it up, and maybe added corn or something. Other reviewers mentioned vegan cheese, which was the whole reason I chose this restaurant, but instead I left hungry and disappointed. Don’t like complaining but just wanted to make sure no one else has this experience. Since all the good menu options require cheese, if you’re vegan make sure to ask if they have vegan cheese when you arrive, or call ahead.

We went in once because it was recommended, but eneded going back because it had great food. The tortilla soup is one of the best I've tried in the country. We also got the green enchiladas, and the cochinita (which was to die for!). As said, we went back for the soup and the cochinita, and we also tried the fish with shrimp (pescado culichi). The servers were quick and, as per restaurant customs, they bring you a house sope -ask for the spicy sauce to go with it, you won't regret it!

Do yourself a favor, if you are questioning the legality of anything you are bringing into Mexico, you better check the laws. The officials here are on top of things. Smokeless tobacco is banned, by decree since 2022 but it is now on the books as of January 2025. Sucks flying in. But much better flying out of here.

Worst airport experience of my life. We waited two hours after deplaning, no ac in the airport, it was well over 100 degrees inside with a line that barely moved. THEN they had the audacity to flag people for extra screening WITH NO ONE to do the extra screening. The employees said "the people that do that are in the office, they're slow to come out". Rude, inconsiderate, will never fly into Lareto again.

Small town airport but haven't encountered issues so far. Cad rental agencies are pretty pricy so book ahead of time and don't do it in person. They have plenty or restrooms for such a small place (think corner store small). Establishment is for the most part clean. They have 2 bars pre-check in and one bar past the security gate. One snack bar on each side. Lots of hotels in town, about a 4 minute drive. It's hot in Baja so be prepared to wait outside to board and exit the plane in 95 degree weather. I also noticed some people were having issues with their fishing gear and golf club cases. Customs can be a pain

After getting certified in San Diego this October, I booked with them in early November and couldn’t have asked for better dive masters than Keyko and Yago. They were not only incredibly knowledgeable about the area but also gave me awesome tips to level up my diving game. I felt completely at ease with them in the ocean, exploring SIX amazing dive sites! I also was there on my birthday and the Blue Nation team even brought me a little treat for my birthday. I’m already counting down the days until I can visit again—it truly feels like I found a little dive family in Loreto! 🐠🌊💙

This was our third trip with Blue Nation as our guide, and I can’t say enough good things about this incredible team. Every year we return, the experience is unique and awe-inspiring. If you’re looking for a safe, enjoyable, and truly unforgettable adventure—look no further!

We spent a week here in Loreto diving with Blue Nation. From the first contact with Monica to the last good-bye these guys were great. My wife and I got 14 dives in with Keyko and Jago over 5 days. Everything was well organized and setup. Lunches were great and scenery top notch. Thanks again.
Derek T — Google review
I spent a remarkable 3 days diving with Blue Nation — so much so that I’m already thinking about when I can come back! The team is small but mighty, delivering a personalized & stress-free experience. Yago was a phenomenal guide, easily managing the divers in our group through a variety of scenarios (currents, low visibility, etc.) & pointing out lots of amazing marine life I otherwise would have missed. I never felt rushed on the boat or in the water & each of our dives lasted a full hour. Perhaps the most memorable aspects of the trip were the conversations above water. Yago has a deep, passionate knowledge of the area’s geology & an endless number of stories from his diving career. I learned so much & it created a very inclusive environment on the boat. Thank you, Yago, Monica, Ricardo & Isadora for welcoming me into the Blue Nation Diving family!! See you again soon. 🙂

Top service, kind people, great captain, and delicious healthy lunch! Recomend u to stay a couple of days, there are 3 islands that yo should visit and dive!

We had an amazing time snorkeling among the rock on two different beach location. I normally do not wear wetsuits, being from BC Canada, but I was glad to be wearing one on our tour. You spend 2 hours snorkeling and moving locations wet. I bring something to change into overtop of your bathing suit. I bought a real inexpensive waterproof case for my iPhone on Amazon and was able to take great photos. The trip started off with dolphins swimming along side of boat. The captain then pulled the boat into two small beautiful caves carved into the rocks along the shore. Our tour had both snorkeled and scuba divers. We then snorkelled for 2 hours with a great local lunch. Then a bonus. Our boat driver went way out of his way when he spotted blue whales and we were able to watch the two dive and resurface. It was the best day ever.

Been living here for going on two years and always go out with the folks at Blue Nation. I also got my dive certification through them. Well maintained equipment, beautiful boat, and very knowledgable and friendly staff and affordable excursions. If you're visiting this beautiful part of the world, highly recommend you go out with Blue Nation!

The boat tour with Blue Nation was, with no doubt, one of the best experiences I’ve had in Baja. The guide of our group was Nicolas, an incredible smart, charismatic and kind guy who made the group enjoy every moment of the tour. Jairo was the tour pilot, an excellent one. Our group saw an unforgettable beautiful sea life, including dolphins, whales and sea lions. I’m very grateful for the whole experience and can’t wait to do it again soon!

Located near the historic Loreto Mission, this museum showcases a collection of artifacts and exhibits that depict the area's fascinating past. Learn about the early settlements in Baja California Sur, indigenous life, and the arrival of missionaries. While most information is in Spanish, there are also English information cards available.

Small, pretty interesting museum. Central location, right next to the old church.

Very nice small museum next to the church in Loreto. They have several different rooms set up with displays and artifact describing events from the original Indians, the village life, the arrival of the missionaries and elements and facts from the original church - Most information is in Spanish but they do have several information cards also posted in English

Pretty easy denture and tour the mission. Cost of 70 pesos per person masks are required in February 2023. If you're there on the hour the clock strikes his bells and at noon it plays a recorded but very convincing longer rendition. The plaza around are beautiful and well kept. Lots of places to have lunch.

Very nice museum right next to the mission. It includes maps, artifacts, paintings, etc. and the signs are in English and Spanish. It is not huge so one can see everything in as little as 20 minutes. In February 2023, the entry cost is 70 pesos ($3.86 US dollars). The museum is closed on Mondays and they close mid-day for siesta but reopen in the afternoon.

In the heart of Loreto, Hotel Posada del Cortes offers a boutique experience with a charming central courtyard where guests can enjoy daily breakfast. Nearby, Pasada de Las Flores Hotel boasts stunning architecture and a rooftop pool. El Zopilote Brewing Co. stands out as the only craft brewery in the area, offering delicious quality craft beers at its cozy location on the central plaza.
I probably spent more time here than I should have! Great fish tacos, good quality pizza, great salads, and serviceable beers. The NEIPA was probably my favorite at the time. Beautiful setting on the plaza, some nights with live music. Can’t wait to come back someday. Credit cards accepted.

Relaxing location with a good vibe - nice trees, lights. etc. Adjacent to the plaza in front of the Loreto tourism office and City Hall. Good beer (had the recent IPA) and terrific puff-pastry wrapped Chile Relleno. Decent solo musician in the plaza during my visit to El Zopilote.

Special Order shrimp, pineapple pizza and Pepperoni, mushrooms, green pepper pizza are awesome with shots of 1800 Tequila. On an other visit, I had the Shepherd's Pie and it was delicious. The portion size was too small, and I had to order a second one.

Had an excellent lunch of fish tacos today. Their beer battered bass was perfect on their flour tortillas. The lemonade natural was just the way we liked it, not too sweet. The cold draught stout was just perfect with the tacos. I may have to return even though I’m only here for another 24 hours.
Greg M — Google review
They have very good craft brew - which you don't find often in small pueblos of Mexico. The day we were here they only had three available. One was an IPA, then a pale ale, and the one I loved was their Bandito Stout. They have a beautiful location on the plaza under the canopy of some beautiful shade trees. Plenty of outdoor seating and a few tables indoors as well. Wait staff was very friendly and explained the beers and menu items to us. Also if you are adventurous, try the Oxaca appetizer which consists of fried grasshoppers, served with home made blue corn tortillas, guacamole and some very nice salsa. We also had their battered fish tacos, (you can also order the fish grilled if you don't want battered) and the batter was very light with a wonderful flavor. Tuesdays are half price beer specials and Fridays they have specials on the fish tacos This is a great place to enjoy some cold beer, relax and people watch - I only wish they would serve chips and salsa if you are ordering drinks (if you want chips and salsa it is an extra charge)
W&M L — Google review
The craft beer was very good for being in Mexico. I couldn't believe they had an imperial stout, a double IPA and a hazy. And they were all beers we would have again if they were in San Diego. They IPA was more of a German lager. We think they had that one mislabeled. It was definitely not an IPA, not even close. But that aside we had such a good experience with the other 3 beers we went back the next day. For food the fish tacos were good. The chili rellano was good , but I was surprised they used ground beef. I guess that's a local thing. Needless to say, we did not eat here again as the menu was a bit limited for us. But did I mention the beer was good!
Mike D — Google review
Our first place to eat in Loreto. Came back for a second meal. Quesadillas were a hit with our family., both the chicken AND the goat cheese. I can personally vouch for the Rattlesnake West Coast IPA. Attentive servers. Took a little too long to get our orange cake for dessert. Would recommend.

Our group had dinner here. The service was slow. Even though we, at the time, were the only ones ordering when we sat ourselves. The other 2 tables were eating. Luckily we got our orders in before the rest of the tables filled up. Unfortunately, the pizza options that were advertised were not available. Not sure why they couldn't make pizza?? I ordered a stout beer which was not good. We had 2 orders of fish and chips, 2 orders of the Irish nachos and a couple of burgers. All of which everyone enjoyed at the time. Later on that night the 2 people who had fish and chips and the accompanied 'tartar sauce' were up all night sick. It was also one of the most expensive meals we had in Loreto.

Casa Carmen is an authentic Mexican restaurant known for its fresh seafood dishes. The menu features highlights such as chili garlic fish filet and Loretos famous chocolate clams (Almejac chocolatas). The portions are generous and well-priced, with all dishes prepared fresh. Guests can enjoy table-side preparations like the special Caesar salad by Candido. The shrimp pozole bowl and mesquite grilled clams are highly recommended, served in rich flavorful broths.
Excellent. I ordered the Tampiquena which included arrachera, beans, rice, enmolada, chimichanga. The arrachera, beans, rice is to die for. My husband ordered ceviche de pescado and it was delicious (no tostatdas). Service was great and reasonable prices. I highly recommend 😊

Just absolutely amazing! The shrimp pozole bowl is as big as your head and full of shrimps and roasted corn in a rich flavorful broth. The mesquite grilled clams is out of this world.

Almejas Concho is a delightful seafood haven just a short stroll from the city center, making it an ideal stop for anyone visiting Loreto. This charming restaurant specializes in fresh catches, with highlights including their delectable chocolate clams and mouthwatering seafood tacos that are simply unforgettable. Diners rave about the unique experience of tasting various clam dishes, particularly those cooked over a charcoal oven outdoors, which impart a wonderful smoky flavor.
Went here on a recommendation and wow. It was good. I tasted 6 different types of clams, the one I remember liking the most was the one cooked in charcoal oven, outdoors. the smoky flavor was very good. I asked them to include rice+beans because i was craving it and they did and it was very good. In general i realize tho, u dont go to a seafood rest for rice and beans. But their food was good and so was their service A very enjoyable and memorable meal here

The natural clams were awesome, they have an appetizer creamy clam based sauce. The big down was service - they need to get wat better in this area, it is unbelievable how bad they could be when serving at their 70% capacity

Just 1 person working the tables and the bar! The girl is fast, but the service is sloooow. Food is good. We got cocktail of shrimp (big cup full of shrimps) and tacos of shrimp and their specialty Almejas Conchó. The specialty was nothing special, baked clams in foil stuffed with chopped veggies, they were underseasoned, no cheese (server described with cheese). Tacos of shrimp were super tasty, light batter, deep fried, sauce was seasoned mayo. I also got a cocktail "Baja Mama", which was essentially piña colada with rum substituted by vodka and a splash of grenadine. Bill came down to 1300 mxn with 4 people dining. Overall good, but can be better.

Had margaritas, steamed clams and shrimp tacos. All good. Lots of seafood options, limited options for those who don't want seafood.
Ken G — Google review
Super cute place, food was good, however service is dragging the place down . The server was very friendly but way out of his league. He was not working his tables diligently, I could see almost all of his tables were not happy. Did I say the service was awful? It took the server 25 minutes to bring our drinks (I asked him twice.) Food took 40 + minutes, I understand the clams take time to bake but a tostada escabeche and some shrimp tacos do not that that long. I would rate the food higher than 1 star but the overall experience is not good. My recommendation: 1) don't come too hungry 2) order food 3) bring a beer in a cooler 4) pop open a beer while you wait an hour for your food.
Vivian M — Google review
Was recommended as one of the best spots for their clams......( fish was undercooked,shrimp cocktail tasted like salmonella waiting to happen, clams were the only thing passable enough to eat.) Gotta give it to them though...they do serve the best tasting margaritas and micheladas. Maybe they should rethink about the whole restaurant idea 💡 business and open up a bar. Sorry Conchos...just being honest about my personal experience there...!!!!!

A real scam!! Only for amateur tourists. The waiters instead of doing their job, are just answering the manager's questions while she is comfortable seated drinking soda and micro managing. The food takes forever and they don't have the full menu. Worst in Baja!

My dad and I visited Mita Gourmet on our trip to Loreto, and it quickly became our favorite spot. The food was incredible! I had phenomenal tacos with perfectly seasoned meat and fresh toppings. Other standouts included the chile rellenos and the surprisingly delicious beef Bolognese pasta.

The restaurant was very accommodating to our large party (14 people) and everyone loved their meals. I will definitely be back next time I'm in Loreto!

Campground
Nestled in a serene neighborhood, Rivera del Mar RV Park is a charming destination for travelers seeking a cozy spot to park their RVs. With 25 well-maintained spaces equipped with full hookups, this park is perfect for mid-size or larger vehicles. While the sites are closely packed—ideal for those who prioritize proximity over personal space—the location is unbeatable. Just two blocks from the stunning waterfront and five blocks from Loreto's historical plaza, guests can enjoy leisurely strolls through town.
Convenient location, 10 minute walk to malecon, town center, Leys, bank, restaurants, clean gravel grounds, pet leash rule (thank you!), lock gate at night for safety, and in our opinion has a much smaller, friendlier, diverse and more relaxed-style crowd. Helpful long-term guests. Can get crowded two toilets not enough for entire campground. Bit noise from road traffic but overall great stay.

A very clean and well-organized place, with the best bathrooms in Baja California. Just a 7-minute walk to the malecón and 10 minutes to downtown. We stayed for a week and a half and everything was perfect. The place also felt very safe, which we really appreciated. Highly recommended!"

The Baja Mia Coronados Island Tour expedition was *the* highlight of our trip to Loreto! We booked it with Pancho, who was delightful. Friendly, knowledgeable, low-key, and nice. Our panga boat captain was Gabriel who was all of the same. He's a great storyteller and is quick to laugh. A really nice guy he is. We really appreciated that he never hurried us when he dropped us off on 3 beaches. Beach #3 was our favorite. We had the Caribbean colored lagoon all to ourselves and it was delightful. Dozens and dozens of dolphins were alongside and under our boat. We also saw 50 or so sea lions, some less than 10 feet away. Blue footed boobies and all kinds of birds, including lots of pelicans. If you're planning a trip to Loreto, check out Baja Mia for a Coronado Island tour!

We enjoyed the most memorable and informative whale watching excursion. Javier is so well informed about Loreto, the Sea of Cortez, and all the wildlife in them. We spent 7 hours sighting fin, humpback, and blue whales, dolphins, blue footy boobies, and so many other birds. Javier’s enthusiasm makes the trip even more special. Do not hesitate to book with Baja Mia (and you might want to request Javier). Such a fabulous day on the water. Thank you Javier and Leslie.

My sister and I had two great trips with Baja Mia - one to Isla Coronado and the other to Isla Carmen. Pancho, who runs the operation is fully bilingual and very responsive on WhatsApp. For the second one, our excellent captain, Javier, picked us up on the beach at Loreto Bay. The wildlife to be seen is just stunning. Sadly we missed the blue whales the days we were out but saw minke, humpback, dolphins, sea lions, blue footed boobies, etc. There’s a reason is it a UNESCO world heritage designated bay.

Pancho & Co at Baja Mia were great and organised a brilliant island boat trip from Loreto. Within minutes of setting off we saw 2 turtles and later went snorkelling with sea lions before having a picnic lunch on a beautiful island beach with huge shoals of tropical fish. Highly recommended both for the wildlife and for the great customer service - Pancho was really helpful and kept in touch to make sure I had activities booked during the rest of my stay in town.

Such a beautiful tour of the Coronado island! Words cannot describe the beauty of the sea of Cortez and Baja California! I saw seals, dolphins birds and the most wonderful stretch of beach ever! I could just look at the clear blue water all my life. I’m so glad I took this tour today it has made my trip so worthwhile in Loreto. Keep up the good work guys you guys rock! 😻❤️🔥

Romanita RV Park

4.5
(84)
RV park
Romanita RV Park is a small and simple campground located in the heart of town, just a block and a half away from the sea. The park offers large palapas, water and electricity hookups, and bathrooms. Despite being popular and somewhat crowded, the friendly campground host does an excellent job of accommodating everyone. The location is unbeatable, situated along the pedestrian walkway in downtown Loreto.
Very friendly and so convenient to be able to walk to stores and restaurants. Not the quietest place but that’s to be expected right in town. Washrooms are reasonably clean and the water is hot but there’s only one women’s and one men’s so sometimes there’s a wait if someone is showering. Overall it’s worth it for the location.
Tina S — Google review
I give this RV park a five-star because of the friendly and accommodating owner, Alberto and Cele, the camp host. Its closeness to the town center and it’s tropical oasis feeling make it by far the greatest place for vans and smaller RV to stay while visiting Loreto.
Paul B — Google review
What a wonderful and lovely place to stay for a couple of days or weeks. We were here over Christmas and it was so nice. The Host is super friendly and helps wherever he can. Full hookup under the palms was for MX$ 450 per day or pay 6 and stay 7 per week. Affordable and really close to the Plaza and to the beautifully little town. Grocery, Bakery, Restaurants and beach are in walking distance. Entrance with our ExMo was little tricky (cause 13ft high) but we did it. So 5 stars over all 👌👍😎

The location is unbeatable, just fantastic. It's right in the heart of the pedestrian area of downtown and a block from the malecón. It is very popular and a bit crowded but the campground host did a great job fitting everyone in and the other campers have been very quiet and courteous. There are only two restrooms which double as showers which take a little bit of juggling with the number of campers. The host does an amazing job, he is super friendly and is constantly busy keeping the park up.

An Unforgettable Wildlife Experience! I've worked in tourism for over 15 years, and I can confidently say that what truly makes an expedition outstanding is its guides. At Baja Adventures, they have the absolute best: Regi and Leo—a wonderful couple who are not only passionate about preserving wildlife and ecosystems but also incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely warm-hearted. Their attention to detail and customer-focused approach took this experience far beyond anything I could have imagined. Every moment was thoughtfully curated, making it one of the best wildlife experiences of my life! If you're looking for a high-end, unforgettable adventure, look no further. Baja Adventures is the way to go! I can’t wait to return!! 🙏🏽🐋

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing Baja adventures with Leopold, Regi, and boat captain Jorge. I can’t recommend them highly enough! Their commitment to regenerative tourism profoundly impacts every aspect of the adventure, especially regarding marine life. Leopold and Reggie’s passion for the ocean and its ecosystems shone from the moment we set out. They shared their extensive knowledge about local marine species, emphasizing conservation and sustainable practices. We encountered a variety of marine life, including several whale species, playful dolphins, blue-footed boobies, and sea lions. What truly stood out was their engagement with the local community and dedication to educating others on protecting these precious ecosystems. Their respectful approach to interacting with wildlife was refreshing and inspiring. It was empowering to know our activities contributed not only to our enjoyment but also to the ocean's health and the local economy. For an adventurous yet responsible way to explore Baja's stunning marine environments, look no further than Baja Adventures. It was an unforgettable experience that deepened my appreciation for our oceans and the vital role we all play in preservation. I highly recommend this.

This was an unforgettable expedition. The team - Regi, Leo and Jorge- shows such respect for the animals, for the sea, and for conservation. They’re not just running tours; they’re actively participating in research and protection and their love for this shows. We saw hundreds of dolphins, many many whales, and swam with sea lions — all in a way that felt responsible and deeply moving. We experienced beautiful sunrises and sunsets on the water with whales and dolphins ✨ it was magical. Our lunches and lunch locations were phenomenal. If you want a trip that combines awe, joy, and respect for the natural world, this is it! Thank you Regi and Leo for a soul feeding experience! 💗💗

Our experience with Baja Adventures was absolutely unforgettable. From whale watching to snorkeling and hiking through the stunning landscapes of Loreto, every moment was thoughtfully curated and filled with awe. What stood out most was the team’s passion for nature and marine life — it’s clear they genuinely care about the whales, the ocean, and the community they work in. Their attention to detail made the entire trip seamless and personal, and their commitment to regenerative tourism means every tour gives back more than it takes. We left not only with incredible memories of seeing whales up close, but also with a deeper appreciation for the wild beauty of Baja and the importance of protecting it. Highly recommend this experience to anyone who loves adventure with heart and purpose. 🌊🐋💙

BajaAdventures offered an amazing and personalized experience for our group. The guides Regina and Leopold were obviously very passionate about their work, the region, and wildlife in general and their contagious energy made the trip even more enjoyable.

They were always paying attention to each member of the group and did a great job anticipating each of our needs, helping ensure a great time for all. Their attention to detail and safety was also appreciated. I would definitely recommend this company above all others to anyone interested in exploring this region.

We explored hidden gems that were truly off the beaten path and had such memorable encounters with wildlife, it would be hard not to fall in love with all that Baja offers. This should be at the top of your adventure list! 🤍

The ambiance is decent. And the shade from the thatched conical roof is welcome. I had Oaxacan flavored chicken, which was cooked well but the mole sauce was lacking in depth; enough to make me question why it was on the menu. Our server was fluent in both Spanish and English, and was genial and attentive. The busboy had so much cologne on we could smell his visits for nearly 2 minutes afterwards. (Didn't pair well with the food choices) Prices were reasonable for the touristy area. I would try it again.

A hidden gem off the beaten path yet close to the town's center. The owner is extremely friendly and welcoming. She speaks little english, but we managed to understand each other despite my terrible spanish. The food is made fresh and is absolutely delicious. It was the best meal I had in Mexico. I visited on a Tuesday morning and ordered the special, Sopes. The food is cheap and the location is great. The outdoor seating area is like an oasis. It is a beautiful garden with flowering plants and birds chirping and flitting about. Succulents adorn the simple wood tables. Light music plays on a portable speaker. If you are visiting Loreto, make sure to visit Dory Luz. You will not be disappointed with this lovely cafe!

Cannot recommend this place enough! We came back to Loreto just to eat here, sadly they're closed on Sundays so we were only able to sneak in one extra meal here instead of two :( Super cute outdoor restaurant under a palapa in a garden. Menu is simple but authentic Mexican food for cheap prices (something near impossible to find in Loreto). Tacos are 25, 3 burritos for 60, waffles and fruit for 60, or they also do a daily special with beans for 80. Coffee is very yummy and organic for 20 and they give every table free chips and salsa!! Food is delicious and fresh tasting. This place deserves to be much more popular than it is, spend 1/4 what you would elsewhere in town and get way better food!!

La Michoacana Ice Cream is a popular spot for sweet treats in the area. They offer a wide variety of paleta (popsicle) flavors and delicious ice cream, including unique options like chocolate with nuts, coconut cream, strawberries & cream, Snickers, and raspberry. The ice cream popsicles are not only tasty but also visually appealing.
Great ice cream and friendly staff. We've stopped by twice first time for ice cream, second for their ice cream bars. I thought both were excellent and my wife especially enjoyed their ice cream bars. On our second visit we got the coconut cream and strawberries & cream ice cream bars both of which were excellent. They have so many ice cream bar flavors! On our first stop I tried their Snickers and raspberry ice cream flavors, both were excellent.

Ice cream is good, but would be nice if you charge us the correct price and not always a different one for the same stuff. We came 3 times in 2 days. We always bought 3 large ice cream bars. Same stuff. First time I paid 110 pesos. I did not check the prices but thought thats a strange number, as you can not divide 110/3....? Next time in the afternoon the older people were there and explained me the price is 35 pesos for a large one, and she charged me 105 pesos (35x3..that makes sense) In the evening we came again, 3 people, we bought 3 large ice bars again, and this time the young guy said its 40 pesos..so 120 total. I told him its funny how you make the prices because every time we pay a different amount and he just smiled. ok. The price on the menu is 35 pesos btw.

This place was right next to our rental at Casa Mangoes. Liz recommended it and we were not disappointed. They have sooooo many varieties (100+?) of fruit flavored popsicles, half of which were cream based. We had 4 varieties so far. They tasted like they used real fruit and not artificial. Some had chunks of fruit in it. They also had ice cream that looked amazing but we didn't try it.....yet!

Heaven on Earth!!!! We were mildly addicted to the place. It’s better than alllll the ice cream i’ve had in the US. They don’t skimp on ingredients. Flavours we loved and kept buying are: dried fruit, tres leches, a mexican snack with cake chunk, and chocolate (partner’s favourite).

Friendly, a bit humid inside. We are using the coupon which comes with the hotel room. You may only order the “Americano” with this coupon. Delicious waft of syrup as you enter. Christian was our waiter, so friendly, broken English to match my broken Spanish. Everyone speaks coffee though. The following is just my opinion. Your experience may differ. Food: Coffee excellent, eggs with ham; tasty. Hash brown, ok, refried beans don’t taste fresh. Fruit or orange juice; I chose fruit. Normally I detest papaya but wow this was good! Toast is standard Bimbo bread, we will choose tortillas tomorrow. Can’t say enough about the service; such a professional, friendly group. Edit: day 3. Slllooooowwwwww. If you have an appointment for whale watching go 2x early than you think for breakfast.
