Perfect for kiteboarding, the awesome beach front location is the best spot to launch and land from. Baja Joe’s has everything you need, from the best coffee in the morning to micro brew in the evening. You will never want to leave.

How to Get to La Ventana
There are two international airports close to La Ventana. La Paz is the closest and is a 45 minute drive away. This airport is a little smaller and does not have as many flights as San Jose del Cabo. San Jose is about 2 hours away from La Ventana and is bigger and has more flight options. This is the best airport to fly into if you are coming from Canada.
From both airports you can rent a car (Make sure to check their insurance policies and fees when booking), take a taxi or ask your hotel to arrange a shuttle for you. From San Jose, you can take a bus to La Paz and then taxi to La Ventana.
Or you might decide to make it a road trip and drive south. The Baja Highway 1 has a lot to offer with its gorgeous scenery.
