The bountiful and historic La Paz, Mexico is thought to be the most beautiful city in Mexico’s northeastern region by many.  La Paz is highlighted by the Malecon - 3 miles of seaside boardwalk curving around the bay.  Bars, restaurants, cafes and more line the boardwalk providing customers with great views and inviting seaside breezes.

Just minutes from downtown is a new gated community conceptualized by the Diaz Rivera Family called the Pedregal de La Paz.  This wonderful new private and gated community offers pristine Sea of Cortez views and a wonderful harmony with its natural surroundings.  This sophisticated neighborhood highlights gorgeous home sites, artfully designed homes and some of the most beautiful Sea of Cortez viewing spots.  Homes are placed just right so that indoor and outdoor living spaces harmonize perfectly with their natural surroundings.  At the Pedregal de La Paz you can expect the best of everything - privacy, security, amenities and a pristine and beautiful landscape.

In November of 2008 La Paz residents will hopefully have access to a whole new shopping experience.  Walmart and its affiliates are coming to the area including Sam’s Club, VIPS restaurant and more movie theaters.  The Walmart Commercial Center project in La Paz proposes 1,500 new local jobs.  The building site is located on a plot of land near the well-known Whale Tail sculpture at the exit to the North.

Walmart will build its own sewage treatment center just like they did in Cabo and may also be open to building a new highway overpass in the area where the store will be located.  The Governor hopes the chain will also pledge to support local farmers and fisherman, buying organic produce from Todos Santos and squid from Mulege.  Can the store truly open in November?  We’ll see … they have some big shoes to fill!

As soon as the property gets a face lift and a few public services installed, the beach in front of the ex-governor’s house in La Paz will be opened to the public.  The opening of the beachfront is scheduled to coincide with the completion of the new convention center in La Paz.  Both of these projects are part of a large scale improvement affecting various parts of the city.  Locally, the beach is known as ‘El Caimancito’(alligator).  Fences currently surrounding the property are scheduled to be removed soon.  Public services such as palapas, parking areas, showers, and an area for water toys will also be installed. 

Once the beach opens, it will provide access to the new condo development, Playa La Paz.  It will also open a pathway to the new aquarium - Las Californias Aquarium.  The official opening is scheduled for sometime in early August.  The new beach will be free and open to the public of La Paz.  We’re looking forward to the addition of another gorgeous white sand hot spot!
