This museum is a treasure-trove of information detailing the Baja Peninsula's culture and history. Maps, photographs, artifacts and tools – some dating to Cortez's expeditions in the 1500s – paint a vivid picture of life in the area. The informative museum is worth skipping a half-day at the beach.

This cheery yellow building is an excellent example of Spanish Colonial architecture. The building is still in use by the municipality, so content yourself with viewing it from the plaza.
