On the north end of Carmen, sheer cliffs plunge into the sea, and there are few landing places. Because of strong currents in the channel, paddling directly to Carmen is not a good choice for inexperienced kayakers, unless they are accompanied by a guide.
Paddling and hiking along the Sea of Cortez can be a magical experience. The color of the water changes to reflect that of the sky, sometimes a deep blue, at other times turquoise; often, at sunrise or sunset, it becomes a blend of soft blue and pale pink. The sea’s surface can be smooth and mirror-like; at those times the lines between hills and sky and sea become nearly indiscernible.
