La Poza is a fresh water lagoon on the west side of town and one of the most beautiful places in Todos Santos. The lagoon fills with fresh water from under ground aquifers while the high tide from the Pacific constantly builds and erodes the sand dune. It's a continuous cycle and the landscape is constantly changing with the turn of the tide. La Poza is one of the town's most valued resources and an ideal place to observe wildlife habitats of the area.
Migratory birds will gather along the shoreline. Migrating whales also like to congregate at the mouth of the lagoon and feed on the plankton. You'll also see lovers walking hand in hand, families enjoying the sunset and a few individuals fishing from the surf and catching fresh water shrimp from the lagoon. Be mindful, however. The waters in the La Poza area are unpredictable due to strong under currents between the lagoon and mighty Pacific. It's definitely not a swimming beach, but an ideal place to enjoy wide open space and pristine beauty of a unique eco-system.
