The Baja peninsula is a long, narrow strip of land that juts out from northern Mexico into the Pacific. The long bay that is created by this peninsula is known as the Sea of Cortés. The peninsula is so long (1,300 km, or, 800 miles) that for a long time people believed it to be an island. The climate of the Baja peninsula is one of the driest in the world and the population is still very small. The peninsula is divided into two states: Baja California and Baja California Sur. The region is known for wine making, good seafood, fishing, and tourism.
