Comondu Coast

On the Pacific side of Baja California, Magdalena Bay lies behind the barrier islands of Magdalena and Santa Margarita. The Boca Entrada channel opens between the two islands, linking the sheltered bay to the ocean. Mangroves fringe the lagoons and channels behind the barriers. Each winter gray whales travel south from northern feeding grounds to mate and give birth in the protected waters of Magdalena Bay.
