When the cold months rolled in at home in Lake Tahoe, California, we decided to head south in search of adventure, warm waters, and fresh seafood. Baja's rugged coastline and endless opportunities seemed like the perfect place to spend a winter chasing fish beneath the waves. Our convoy—a van built for living and a Ford Bronco—was packed to the brim with spearfishing gear, surfboards, and the essentials for beachside camping.

So, after we chatted on the phone, I watched a few episodes and gave him a call back, “I’m in, it looks like fun.”

We had been in Baja, Mexico surfing and camping on the beach for the 9 days creating content for the Ford Bronco ambassador hype video. However, this morning was a bit different. We had no plans.

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.

We headed to Baja Mexico for a three months of winter to surf and camp on every beach we could.

While the trips wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows, we had a splendid time in Baja chasing waves and sleeping on beaches.

Beach camping in Baja, Mexico is dreamlike.

My guess, if you just go a few turns north, or south, you will find something similar, if not better, without anyone.
