There’s something about riding your bike where the desert meets the ocean that just hits different. In Todos Santos, the days start with dusty singletrack and end with tacos, cold drinks, and sunsets over the Pacific. It’s a place where the pace slows down, the trails open up, and every ride feels like a bit of an escape.

Located on the Pacific side of Baja California Sur, just north of Cabo, Todos Santos has quietly become a go-to for riders looking to trade crowded trail systems for something a little more raw, a little more real.

Every good ride in a new place starts with local knowledge, and in Todos Santos, that means stopping by Over The Edge Bike Shop.

This spot is more than just a bike shop, it’s the hub for the riding scene in town. Rentals, guided rides, trail beta, cold drinks after your ride… they’ve got it all. If you’re new to the area, linking up with their crew is the fastest way to find the good stuff and avoid wandering into the desert guessing.

Dave’s Trail (The Local Favorite)

If you ask around, this is the one that keeps coming up. Dave’s Trail is often considered the best trail in the area, and for good reason. It blends smooth desert singletrack with just enough punchy climbs and fast, flowing descents to keep things interesting. Head into OTE for more details!

Why Ride It: Classic Baja flow with a little bit of everything.
Pro Tip: Link it into a larger Sierra Madre loop for a longer ride.

Cactus Battle → A La Playa

This combo gives you a true taste of Todos Santos riding. Start on Cactus Battle for rolling singletrack through dense cactus fields, then drop into A La Playa, which trends toward the coast and opens up to ocean views.

Why Ride It: Desert riding that finishes with a coastal payoff.
Pro Tip: Watch your lines, those cacti don’t move.

Sierra Madre Network

For riders looking to put in some miles, the Sierra Madre trails offer a bigger, more adventurous experience. Expect rolling terrain, short climbs, and fun descents with views stretching from the mountains to the Pacific.

Why Ride It: Longer rides with that remote Baja feel.
Pro Tip: Bring plenty of water—this is not a quick spin.

Todos Santos isn’t just about the bike, it’s about the whole experience.

Surfing: World-class breaks just down the road. Even if you don’t surf, it’s worth watching.

Art Walks: The town is known for its creative scene, with galleries and local shops throughout.

Beach Days: Sometimes the best move is no plan at all, just a towel, a cold drink, and the sound of waves

Todos Santos is the kind of place you come for a few days and end up staying longer than planned. The riding is fun, the town is easygoing, and the mix of desert and ocean keeps things interesting.

Ride in the morning, hit the beach in the afternoon, and settle in for tacos and a cold one as the sun drops into the Pacific. That’s trail to town, Baja style.
