Magdalena Bay

Magdalena Bay



Magdalena Bay, located along the Pacific coast of Baja California Sur, is a legendary sportfishing destination known for its diverse fishery, rich marine life, and remote, untouched beauty. Surrounded by mangrove-lined estuaries and open ocean, it offers incredible action for striped marlin, dorado (mahi-mahi), yellowfin tuna, wahoo, and grouper, especially during the fall marlin run when the waters come alive with bait balls and feeding frenzies. It's also a hotspot for gray whale watching in winter and eco-tours year-round.

What to Bring for Sportfishing in Magdalena Bay:

  • Lightweight, breathable clothing (long-sleeved for sun protection)

  • Hat and polarized sunglasses to reduce glare and protect your eyes

  • High-SPF sunscreen and lip balm

  • Seasickness medication if you're sensitive to motion

  • Personal fishing gear (if preferred), though charters usually provide tackle

  • Dry bag or waterproof case for electronics and valuables

  • Camera or GoPro to capture epic catches and marine life

  • Reusable water bottle to stay hydrated

  • Cash (USD or pesos) for tips or small purchases in remote areas

Magdalena Bay offers a wild, unforgettable fishing experience with minimal crowds, stunning natural surroundings, and some of the most exciting offshore action in the Pacific.
