Things to Do in the Town of Loreto and Loreto Bay

Loreto Bay

General Info

Loreto is on Mountain Time, which is one hour ahead of the West Coast Pacific time.

Sometimes in Mexico the hot and cold water taps are reversed, if the left faucet does not give you HOT water after a few minutes, try the right faucet as the pipes may be crossed. Upstairs showers can take a few minutes to receive the hot water and it is recommended that you let the sink or shower run hot for a few minutes before using. All faucets within Casa Coburn are plumbed correctly.

Note: Driving on Baja Highways. The left turn signal indicates to the car/truck behind you that it is safe to pass. It is recommended that when you slow down to make a left hand turn into the south entrance of Loreto Bay that you use the HAZARD lights to indicate caution to other drivers so that they slow down. Then pull onto the right hand shoulder and wait for oncoming traffic to pass and it is clear to turn. HAZARD lights are commonly used to indicate construction, animals, or other hazards.
