Fishing
Punta Lobos or Fishermen's Beach is just south of Todos Santos. If you
want to go fishing you can often arrange to go out with the fishermen
on their pangas. Cost varies (usually in the $25 an hour range), but
expect to pay for the gas and the expertise of your guides. Local
catches vary depending on the time of the year but cabrilla (sea bass)
huachinago (red snapper), pargo, halibut, dorado, tuna sierra, manta
ray, and shark seem to be plentiful most of the year.
Surfing
Northwest, winter swells hit the Todos Santos area from December to
March. Occassional summer breaks can be found also at Punta Lobos.
You'll also find breaks at La Pastora (near town), Punta Marques and
Punta Conejo (north of town). El Pescadero is a small village south of
Todos Santos, and you'll find surf in the area at places such as Punta
Gaspare�o, Playa Los Cerritos, Punta San Pedro. Check with under Water
Activities below.
Whalewatching
You will have an opportunity to see whales this far south, usually
after they have given birth in Bahia Magdalena to the north. The
pangeros (boatmen) at Punta Lobos will take you out to see them for
around $25 an hour. You can find gray whales from December until early
April. During whale season, you can easily see whales from the beach
shore.
