Some cities thrive outside the spotlight. La Paz, the capital of the Mexican state of Baja California Sur that is a base for outdoor adventure, is one of those places. Los Cabos has for decades hogged the crowds of travelers from around the world who flock to the mountain-ringed coastlines of Baja California for luxury resorts. Meanwhile, La Paz has spent that time cultivating more boutique accommodations like Hotel Marea, as well as one of the best restaurant scenes in Mexico, headlined in 2025 by Nemi, a hub for local cuisine on a menu that changes each week, and Casamarte Oyster Bar & Grill, which specializes in oysters and seafood brought up on the day of service.
