A low sun glints off the Pacific as hooves sink into wet sand and a salty breeze pushes inland—this is horseback riding where Baja’s desert meets ocean. The ride begins at a desert ranch off Highway 1, then descends to a wide, wind-swept beach. Horses move easily between scrubby washes and shoreline, sometimes chasing the foam as the surf dares riders to follow.
