There's
not a great deal to see in La Paz itself and if you're
staying for any length of time you should head for the
beaches. If you're just hanging around waiting for a
ferry, however, you can happily fill a day window-shopping
in the centre - hundreds of stores take advantage of
the duty-free zone - and browsing around the market.
The small Museo Antropológico (Mon-Fri 8am-6pm,
Sat 9am-2pm; free), at 5 de Mayo and Altamirano, is
also worth a passing look: exhibits include photos of
cave paintings and an ethnological history of the peninsula.
This is as good as Baja museums get, but has no English
labelling. There are plenty of opportunities for fishing
and diving, and for boat trips into the bay; just stroll
along the malecón to find people offering the
latter - Isla Espíritu Santo is a popular destination,
as is Los Islotes , where there's a colony of sea-lions
- or see Listings for details of specific operators.
