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.
