Loreto Bay Marine Park Passes

Mexico requires any person who is not a resident purchase and have with them a Marine Park Pass. If you are a resident, you don't need to purchase a Marine Park Pass, however, you must have your residency card on you.

The marine park pass is required anywhere in the Marine Park. This includes but is not limited to: All the islands and all the beaches from Picazon to Ensenada Blanca. Yes, even in Loreto Bay, you need a marine park pass (it's a beach in the marine park).

You need a marine park pass if you are swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding, boating, sailing, fishing etc.

The Mexican Comisión Nacional de Áreas Naturales Protegidas (CONANP) governs the protected biospheres of Mexico and requires visitors who are in these areas for any recreational activities to purchase either a Biosphere Bracelet that is good for one day’s use, or an annual Conservation Passport (good at all National Parks), valid for one year from the date of purchase.

In or around 2018, The Mexican Gov't created an Annual Conservation Passport. The Conservation Passport now allows you to access any protected area in Mexico, except for Revillagigedo National Park and the Isla Guadalupe Biosphere Reserve.

The cost of the annual pass is $1,500 Pesos or about $75 USD.

It is important to mention that in some Localities, in addition to presenting the passport, additional contributions are requested from local communities, since they also represent a form of direct income for them.
