Isla Espíritu Santo is an uninhabited island in the Gulf of California, off the Mexican state of Baja California Sur. It is separated from Isla Partida by a narrow canal.
Together, the islands are part of La Paz Municipality and are both a short boat trip from La Paz on the Baja California Peninsula.
Marvel at wildlife and nature at their best at Isla Espiritu Santo, a UNESCO World Heritage biodiversity hotspot. Seize the chance to swim with sea lions, sea turtles and dolphins, see over 100 bird species, and catch sight of whale sharks. You can also go hiking, kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, and sport fishing. For a relaxing day out, chill by the pristine beaches, and catch a glorious sunset. If you can’t get enough, spend the night glamping on the island.
Isla Espriritu Santo is located in the Sea of Cortez (Gulf of California), about 26 kilometres (16 mi) to its southern tip from the port city of La Paz, Mexico. Together with its sister island Isla Partida, the islands are a rock formation created by a series of violent earthquakes and volcanic activity. As such, volcanic ash and lava make up the majority of their geologic composition.
With fairly straight high ridges and low valleys, the islands resemble a horizontal rainbow with earthy tones. Espiritu has a land area of 80.763 square kilometres (31.183 sq mi), and its highest elevation is 562 metres (1,844 ft). Partida has a land area of 15.495 kilometres (9.628 mi), and its highest elevation is 282 metres (925 ft) At its Northern edge, Espiritu is divided from Partida by a narrow strait.
At certain times with the right tide, the strait is shallow enough to wade across. By itself, Espíritu is the twelfth largest island in Mexico. There are a number of smaller islets that accompany the two main islands, of which only four are named. They are Isla Lobos, Isla Ballena, Isla Gallo and Isla Gallina. The islands also contain a handful of beautiful white sandy beaches, complemented by pristine aquamarine waters and sheer bluffs.
