1. There is an airport in Tijuana so you could fly in, but driving across is the most common way to get there.

I was advised to bring my license and registration and even the title for the vehicle, and to get into the right lane so that I could present all the documents and get a tourist card. As we were pulling up to the border, the right lane was packed and all the other lanes were nearly empty, so my driver's instinct kicked in, I changed lanes, passed everybody, and pulled up to the border. There was nothing there except a bump and a glowing red light. When I pulled up to the bump, the red light turned to a green light with the word PASE in the middle, and I drove across into Mexico. No document inspection. No tourist card. No way to turn around and fix it. As it turned out, we'd simply saved money, because we didn't pay for a tourist card and no one checked. We were stopped twice at military checkpoints where the soldiers looked through our fruits, but not our documents. But I have a feeling...
camping baja
by modsquads
my trip was mainly camping, and i feel that was agreat way to see the land, and the weather is so great that it makes for a great experience. But when i do it again, it will certainly be in an RV. Most campgrounds are well equipped for them, and are not very grassy or shady for tent camping, which can be a bit uncomfortable. We did come across places that were very nice, but did not allow tent campers!!
rent a motorbike

renting a car or motorbike is the easiest and cheapest way to get around. Be aware that ANY accident in Mexico can land you in jail until responsibility and costs are dealt with - even if you have insurance!
Driving to Mexico from California
by giampiero6
If you are in Southern California, it's easy to drive to Mexico. I would not recommend taking your own car. You can rent a car and then get insurance just over the border. Your rental insurance from the US will NOT cover you if you drive into Mexico. Though it seems shady, it's legit to cross the border and then buy insurance from one of the booths right over the border. Note that some rental car companies will not allow you to take their car into Mexico at all.Note that there is usually lots of traffic coming back into the US on weekends especially in the summer.
More Thoughts on Insurance and Car Rental
by giampiero6
Ok..from LA...you can take some rental cars from some companies a certain number of miles over the border...something like 15 miles. You need to check with various companies and even various agencies within companies (i.e. different enterprise offices have different rules.) Some let you go farther South than others. Also my sense is that San Diego office might be more equipped to deal with it than LA alothough both have some experience. Geneally you will have to buy insurance right over the border crossing in Mexico. Policies are as I recall something like 20-40 bucks for a weekend.Even if you buy insurance from a US rental car and take it to Mexico, you should ask if they require you to get Mexican insurance coverage too. (that's what I did) Also you might want to consider getting to the border, taking the shuttle bus, walking across and renting a car in Mexico just over the border. (I...
taxis

Taxis are expensive - from our hotel to Cabo San Lucas cost $60 round trip!!!!. The hotel did provide a shuttle service several times a day for $10 per person - a MUCH better deal!
Loreto / La Paz

there are direct flights from LA (LAX) to La Paz and Loreto. I would check on the Mexican national airlines. Both times I flew Aeromexico.
