BAJA OCEANFRONT HOTELS
When most people think of Baja they think of miles of of spectacular beaches and relaxing in a hotel just above the crashing surf. While this picture is indeed a reality in Baja, the number of beachfront hotels is somewhat limited.
Although money is usually a big consideration when choosing a hotel in Baja, many people decide to splurge for the extra cost of a beachfront hotel to make their Baja getaway a special one. And most people who opt for the beachfront digs are usually glad they did.
With over 2,000 miles of coastline one would think that a visitor would have almost unlimited choices for beachfront accommodations. While this is somewhat true down by Cabo San Lucas where beachfront resorts are everywhere, the rest of Baja offers only a small number of hotels located directly on the ocean.
To help you plan your next trip to Baja we have included a list of all of the oceanfront hotels in Baja from north to south! These are placed into four categories, west coast, east coast, east Cape and Los Cabos.

Four beautiful separate bungalows right on the sand! The beach, ocean, and mountain views from these spectacular custom rooms have got to be some of the best in Baja. Hosts Wayne and Ellie do a great job of running this charming resort. Just a short drive to the underwater wonderland of Cabo Pulmo. It doesn't get any better than this!

BAJA OCEANFRONT HOTELS
When most people think of Baja they think of miles of of spectacular beaches and relaxing in a hotel just above the crashing surf. While this picture is indeed a reality in Baja, the number of beachfront hotels is somewhat limited.
Although money is usually a big consideration when choosing a hotel in Baja, many people decide to splurge for the extra cost of a beachfront hotel to make their Baja getaway a special one. And most people who opt for the beachfront digs are usually glad they did.
With over 2,000 miles of coastline one would think that a visitor would have almost unlimited choices for beachfront accommodations. While this is somewhat true down by Cabo San Lucas where beachfront resorts are everywhere, the rest of Baja offers only a small number of hotels located directly on the ocean.
To help you plan your next trip to Baja we have included a list of all of the oceanfront hotels in Baja from north to south! These are placed into four categories, west coast, east coast, east Cape and Los Cabos.
