After a long day of driving our van south along the Baja Peninsula, Kristin and I stumbled upon a hidden gem: Conception Bay. Tucked among Baja’s rugged eastern coastline, this serene bay is the perfect destination for stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), and it left us questioning why we hadn’t come sooner.

While on our road trip through, Baja creating content for the release of the Ford Bronco, we messed up. In San Juanico (aka Scorpion Bay) we took the Bronco onto the beach in hopes of snapping a shot of spraying water at sunset, we swamped it, but it was an adventure. The video and story below is the result.
Fish tacos, a few beers, and sunburns, that is often what Baja Mexico gets its name for, but that isn’t all this 1000 mile peninsula has to offer. The golden beaches often have surf-able waves, the mountains contain waterfalls, and the salty-waters are home to one of the most diverse aquatic biospheres. When you come down to Baja for vacation, you could sit on the beach, or you could make memories that will last you a lifetime when you step a little outside of your comfort zone and head out on an epic adventure.
Driving in Baja Mexico became accessible to all drivers with the completion of Mexico Federal Highway 1, also called, Trans-Peninsula Highway. While the old highway was more of a dirt path with steep cliffs and boulder filled arroyos, Mexico Highway 1 is a two lane asphalt road that bounces from coast to coast and town to town. For those of us who love to explore the Baja Peninsula, driving the Trans-Peninsula Highway no longer requires nerves of steel.
