Camalú, Baja California, is a town on the Pacific coast Mexico's Baja California Peninsula.

In Camalú one can relax on the beach and play in the warm surf. Surfing, dune buggy riding, sailing, world class fishing, clamming and crabbing are all popular activities in the area.

Water temperatures range from lows nearing 10°C(50°F) to highs approaching 21°C(70°F). [Baja Expo Travel Guide - http://www.bajaexpo.com/water.htm] 3mm/2mm wetsuits are recommended for surfing on all but the warmest of days.

The main town is on Federal Highway 1, 175 km south of Tijuana. Drive time is about 2 hours south of Ensenada. For about 60 km (40 miles), from Colonet to El Rosario you can see the ocean from the highway. There is almost no development in this area but it may change in the near future. For five years, plans have been progressing for a major port in Colonet, with rail access to Yuma, Arizona, in the United States.
