Baja California (Coastal Areas), Mexico
Baja California - Coastal Hot Spots
As one of the most scenic and most visited areas in the country of Mexico, Baja California has been inhabited by humans for at least 11,000 years. Native inhabitants enjoyed relative peace on this peninsula for many centuries, until approximately the year 1539, when the first European settlers arrived in this area. For many years henceforth, Europeans and Jesuits gradually spread out over this land. Baja California officially became a state in the year 1953, and is now one of the most popular tourist destinations in Mexico.
Today, the approximate population of this distinctly shaped landmass is close to 3 million people; yet these are generally quite spread out, giving the region a pleasant, uncrowded feel. Also, most of these people live in or around its capital of Mexicali, or in its largest city of Tijuana. The coastal areas are more sparsely populated, mostly by people going fishing, and tend to lean more toward natural beauty rather than highly developed and crowded cities. This is largely why so many people flock to the coast of Baja California; its natural scenery is legendary.
