La Ribera Vacation Rentals, Condos, Villas and Beach Rentals

La Ribera is a small village located along Highway 1 approximately fifty miles from San Jose del Cabo on the Baja California Peninsula. This unspoiled Mexican town lies along the East Cape of the Sea of Cortez, which offers miles of swimmable and safe white sand beaches. One of the richest bodies of water in the world, the Sea of Cortez supports an abundant variety of sea life, including the annual migration of numerous species of whales. The National Marine Park at Cabo Pulmo, which is the only living coral reef in the Baja, is just a short drive from La Ribera. Other activities in or near La Ribera include fishing, snorkeling and diving, boating, sailing, beachcombing for shells, windsurfing and golf. Swimming off the beaches on the Pacific side of the peninsula can be dangerous due to swift sea currents and powerful waves, so caution is advised. It is also illegal to drive on the beaches of Mexico. La Ribera is an authentic Mexican town that provides a real experience of rural Mexico – relaxing, unhurried, inexpensive and enjoyable. There are a number of restaurants and shopping in town, but you wont find convenience stores or fast food restaurants on every corner. However, if you get a yearning for big city life, Cabo San Lucas and La Paz are an easy drive away.

Surrounding areas: Los Barriles (8.7 mi / 14 km), Los Frailes (17.1 mi / 28 km), Los Cabos (31.1 mi / 50 km), San Jose del Cabo (37.4 mi / 60 km)

La Ribera Weather & Climate

The stretch of land  immediate south of California between the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of California is Baja California, Mexico ("Baja" means "Lower.") The weather here can be divided into two distinct categories: hot deserts and cooler near the oceans. Arid or semiarid conditions are present on the Baja Peninsula and rainy days are rare outside of the 'rainy season' September through December, which is why many golfers come here to play. Storms that do occur in summertime are short, but most of them pass by to the south. Summers are quite warm with very little humidity; winters have near perfect weather. June through September is hurricane season, but hurricanes on the Pacific are much less likely than storms on the Gulf of Mexico.
