Todos Santos Bay

Todos Santos Bay opens onto the Pacific coast of northern Baja California, its entrance marked by islands and the Punta Banda peninsula. The Kumiai and neighboring peoples inhabited the country around the bay long before European ships arrived. Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo visited the coast in 1542, and Sebastián Vizcaíno returned in 1602, naming the broad inlet Todos Santos. The bay offered a recognizable anchorage on the long voyage along the Californian coast.
