La Ventana is just about 30 minutes south of La Paz on the Sea of Cortez. It's been growing relatively fast in recent years. I like it because it still feels like a small Baja escape.
In the winter La Ventana is known for the howling wind that stretches down the coast, bringing 2-3 foot waves for premium Kiteboarding and Windsurfing. In the summer La Ventana is a great place for warm-water diving, spearfishing and panga fishing. While we were there we caught a Marlin, Dorado, Wahoo, Rooster Fish and some sleep.
Just a week after we left, Tim Hatler, co-owner of Palapas Ventana, speared a world-record 73lb Rooster Fish!Palapas Ventana has turned out to be my favorite place to stay in Baja. Tim and his Mom, Karon, have created a "wife-friendly" resort in an ideal spot. If you've ever traveled through Baja before, you know what I mean by "wife-friendly!" For all the info about Palapas Ventana check out their web site, it has a ton of pictures.
