About this site
Cabo Pulmo is a protected National Marine Park in Baja, recognised as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and regarded as one of the most impressive achievements in ocean conservation.
Bull sharks are seen here, mainly by divers on scuba. Huge schools of jacks form what is known locally as the Jacknado, and the park also holds hard corals, large snappers and an abundance of other fish.
Whale season runs from December to April, and whales can be seen at the surface between dives.
