The sun is broad and low, salt in the air and the horses’ hooves punctuation on the hard sand as you move from cactus-sprinkled desert onto a sliver of white beach. Guides check saddles and offer a choice of pace — a careful walk for first-timers or a faster trot for riders chasing wind and ocean spray. In two hours you’ll cross desert trails once used for local ranching and informal Baja races, then emerge onto a quiet stretch of Pacific coastline where waves dare you to listen.
