Strap on the helmet and cut across Baja’s dry washes and coastal sand on this 3-hour ATV loop from San José del Cabo. Expect dune runs, beach runs and quick climbs into volcanic foothills—an adrenaline-heavy way to see two landscapes in one outing.

A dry wind tugs at your goggles while the Baja desert seems to rearrange itself under the sputter of the ATV. You start on a compacted dirt track, the sea a faint silver line to the west and a jumble of volcanic ridges to the east. The guide signals and you peel off toward a braided wash; sand blooms behind your tires like a miniature dust storm. Within minutes the coast calls you — the air shifts, salt and sun replace the dust — and you are sluicing across firm beach sand, the surf daring you to push harder.

Hydrate before you go
Bring a 1–2 liter hydration pack — desert heat and wind dehydrate faster than you feel.
Wear closed-toe, grippy shoes
Sturdy sneakers or lightweight hiking boots protect against hot footwells and shifting sand.
Secure loose items
Use zip pockets or a small dry bag — wind and dust will steal unsecured phones, cash, and hats.

Listen to the safety briefing and practice braking in a wash before pushing dunes at speed.
