Baja California – Our Source of Highest Quality Mexican River Rock

The mines of Best Mexican Beach Pebbles™ are located in Baja California, the northernmost state of Mexico. Baja California is known as a popular tourist destination. However, this area also boasts a unique geography and climate that help create some of the highest quality pebble stones in the world.

The Pacific coast of Baja California is surrounded by the cold California Current. In contrast, the interior of Baja California is hot and dry. The temperature difference often creates a layer of marine fog along the Baja coast, and it also helps create multi-colored, very smooth beach pebbles on the shores of Baja. It is the unique combination of the cold California Current, tall Pacific waves and heat coming down from the Baja mountain ranges that explains why this area is the source of the highest quality pebble stone of all colors and shades, from black beach pebbles to translucent white pebble.
