Todos Santos is a small coastal town at the foothills of the Sierra de la Laguna Mountains, on the Pacific coast side of the Baja California Peninsula. It's about an hours drive north of Cabo San Lucas on Highway 19 and an hours drive south from La Paz. More recently, there has been a gradual increase in tourist activity and real estate development. Handicraft shops, owner-operated art galleries featuring landscape paintings of local scenes, upscale restaurants, boutique hotels and restored colonial buildings have contributed to the gentrification and redevelopment of the town.

Around and closeby
There are many beautiful beaches within a 30 minute drive of Todos Santos. However, some of the area’s beaches, with rip tides, undertows, and fairly steep drop-offs that are close to shore, are not considered safe for swimming. Playa Las Palmas and Playa Los Cerritos are great beaches for swimming and shell collecting, and Las Pocitas attracts surfers from around the world.
