Things to bring
(They do have most of these items readily available but you may pay a premium)
- Sunscreen (The Baja sun is very intense)
- Aloe Vera (for when you forget to put on the previous recommendation!)
- Large Brimmed Hat
- Sun Glasses (Polarized are best when fishing)
- Swimwear
- Sandals for walking the beaches
- Water shoes for wading and reef walking in some areas
- Duct Tape for sealing you coolers full of fish
- Ice Chests to transport your fish home
- Lots of small change for tipping
- Bottled water
- Liquid Oxygen (This can be purchased at most health food stores and if you add a few drops to your water several times a day it will prevent any
of those nasty cases of the stomache flu’s that you have probably heard about from drinking the Mexican water. Many people say well, I just won’t drink the water but don’t forget,
most food is washed with it and the ice in your drinks is made with it. The Good news is that most of the modern hotels have good filtered water so it isn’t near as much of a problem as in the
past but, Better safe than sorry.)
Things to leave at home
- Food (there is plenty of inexpensive places to eat and the food is fantastic)
- Fancy Clothes ( this is a very casual place)
- Recreational Drugs (Mexico is not a place you want to push your luck with the law)
- Dry Ice (can become unstable or explosive when sealed in a cooler and pressurized on the plane)
Most important: Come with a good attitude, be safe and Have Fun!
