Baja California is a peninsula that extends along the Pacific coast south of the US state of California. It remained part of Mexico after the Mexican Cession of 1848 that gave most of the region (Alta California) to the US following the Mexican-American War. It consists of two Mexican states, Baja California (capital Mexicali) and Baja California Sur in the south (capital La Paz).
Baja California is separated from the mainland by the Gulf of California (sometimes referred to as the Sea of Cortes). It includes the resort Cabo San Lucas at the tip of the peninsula, where it crosses the Tropic of Cancer.
