I’ve driven and raced from Ensenada to la Paz a few times. Honestly the scariest part of Baja is driving at night. The roads are terrible and the drivers are even worse. We were towing back from the 2017 Baja 1000 in a group of 8 vehicles at night and got passed by a van, he was moving at least 30mph faster than we were, on a two lane highway, he made it past 5 vehicles, but not the front 3, side swiped our trailer and 3 vehicles and took off. We had some broken mirrors and one flat tire and had to stop. Never saw the guy again. If it’s your first time down there I wouldn’t recommend driving down. Fly in and rent a car, pick a spot and go enjoy your week. There are some beautiful beaches along the eastern coastline north of La Paz and along the bay of LA. I don’t have any recommendations for places to stay because I’ve never vacationed down there. We go strictly to race.
