Beyond La Paz, the coastline becomes increasingly developed - modern, commercialized, resort-weary. Los Cabos , the series of capes and beaches around the southern tip of the Baja peninsula, is one of the fastest-developing tourist areas in Mexico - heavily promoted by the authorities and a boom area for the big hotel chains and resort builders. Undeniably beautiful, and home to most of the luxury resorts, golf courses and beaches you see on the postcards, it's not a place for the penniless traveller to venture unprepared. Not far south of La Paz the highway splits: the fast new road cuts across to the Pacific to run straight down the west coast to Cabo San Lucas ; the old route trails through the mountains, emerging only briefly above the Sea of Cortes on its long journey to San Jose del Cabo . At the moment, the coastal towns between La Paz and San Jose are mostly innaccessible without a four-wheel drive, but the State has big plans for the East Cape and construction of two new highways is planned over the next few years, opening over a hundred kilometeres of untouched beaches and small fishing villages, for better or for worse.
