The peninsula lies on the boundary between the California coastal sage and chaparral ecoregion to the northeast, and the Baja California desert to the southwest.[1]
Tourism
The peninsula is a popular tourist destination for those visiting La Bufadora, the second largest blowhole in the world[2] and the only one in the American continent.[3]
