GUERRERO NEGRO, MX
Guerrero Negro will rarely come up on a list of places to visit when coming to Baja California Sur, and if you never go here you will not really be missing anything. However, it is a very important landmark when it comes to the Peninsula. It is the point where Baja California turns into Baja California Sur. A new State begins. You will arrive in Baja Sur after crossing the border, which requires little more than a welcome sign, a fumigation, and a military checkpoint (which you should be very used to and comfortable with at this point if you have driven the length of the northern State). Guerrero Negro is the first town across the border. It is a larger city, by Baja standards. There are a number of grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants etc. If you are camped out in the extremely rural part of Northern Baja, this is also where you might come to stock up on supplies, water, or gas. This is an important place to know about as you go down. I would really recommend making a note of it and that you get your supplies in order here. Buy food, water, make sure you are full up on gas. And extra gas. There are a few things to do here if you want to spend time. Apparently the largest salt mine in Mexico that can be otherworldly to witness, and if you are there at the right time of year there is great whale watching. Outside of being an important landmark while crossing the peninsula, there is one thing here that I can't recommend enough. One of, if not the best fish tacos in all of Baja is here. It's famous and it's one of the best I've ever had. I may go back to Guererro Negro for nothing more than these tacos.
Guererro Negro is located just south of the border of the border between the two distinct States that are Baja, and Sur. Many people aren't even aware there are two States, and I would have been one of those people a few years ago. But this town, which is large when considered compared to the rest of the towns in greater Baja, is an important landmark, and is the beginning of the Southern State.
It's slightly southwest of the border, and the first town you will hit as you are traveling down the 1 after crossing the border. It's a great place to fill up on gas, supplies, etc., after you leave the extremely rural southern Baja area and head into rural areas to follow after passing through Guerrero.
HOSTELS, CAMPING, AND HOTELS (IF ANY)
Did not stay here. Not sure.
EATS
As I mentioned above one of the best things to do when you are in Guerrero Negro, is stop for the fish or shrimp tacos here at Tacos El Muelle. It was a must for us, and I went back a few more times as I came through Guerrero for supplies.
The food is served out of a truck from an extremely friendly staff. The truck is always in the same place, and when I was there it seemed like they were building themselves a brick and mortar, but it appears to not have happened yet. You really can't go wrong with whatever you get here. It's exceptional, and memorable. — Not to be missed if you are here.
SIGHTS
I didn't do any of these things, but there are apparently great whale-watching tours that can be done at certain times of the year and during the right season, along with the largest of one of the largest salt mines in the whole of the country. I didn't do either of these things, but if you decide to spend more time in Guerrero Negro, I guess you can check these out.
NIGHTLIFE
No clue.
SURFING
There are some spots out on the peninsula to the West, that include Bahia Tortuga. I never went out there, but I heard there are waves to be explored out there.
