Pueblo Mágico on Baja California Sur's Sea of Cortez coast — UNESCO-listed marine biosphere (Loreto Bay National Park) and the original Spanish settlement of the Californias (founded 1697). The town itself is small (~15k) but the waterfront malecón, mission church, and dive operators are walkable from the historic center. Crucially, this is the Sea of Cortez side, not the Pacific — flatter water, warmer year-round, with whale-watching season Jan–Mar. Loreto airport has direct US flights (LAX, Calgary, Dallas seasonally). Cost is significantly below Cabo or Todos Santos for comparable quality of life.
