A slow, swaying silhouette rises over the sand: a camel, three rows of guests, and the salty wind of the Sea of Cortez pushing at low skirts and sunhats. The caravan moves deliberately along a hard-packed beach, the animals steady and unhurried, while scrubby desert climbs away from the shoreline and the ocean dares you to look farther than the next headland.

Sun protection is essential
Bring broad-spectrum sunscreen, a brimmed hat and sunglasses—the beach and desert reflect intense sunlight.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Compact trail and sandy stretches are easiest in sturdy shoes or trainers rather than sandals.
Mind back and heart restrictions
Camel riding can jolt the spine; avoid if you have spinal or cardiovascular issues and notify guides of any medical conditions.
Hydrate before you go
Three hours in desert-coastal sun requires pre-trip hydration—carry a refillable bottle if allowed or drink at the ranch.
Closed-toe shoes
Protect feet on sand, gravel and the short trail between ranch and beach.
