San Quintin National Park is a protected natural area on San Quintin Bay along the Pacific coast of Baja California, Mexico. The park protects a short stretch of beach with coastal dunes and inland dry coastal brush that is home to 249 species of plant and animal, some endemic to the San Quintin area and some considered to be at risk. The San Quintin area is known for its extinct volcanic field with a number of volcanoes that last erupted 20,000 to 100,000 years ago.
By bus
ABC operates two buses per day from Ensenada to San Quintin. The 3-1/2 hour ride will cost M$345 (June 2024). Costa de Oro buses also stop in San Quintin.
You'll want a car, preferably a 4x4 with wide tires capable of driving on sand. Once in the park, walking is ideal.
