El Mogote is a sand barrier peninsula opposite the city of La Paz in Baja California Sur, Mexico.

[3] The mangroves are considered important habitat for local and migratory birds, as well as marine life and are listed under the Ramsar Convention.

[4] El Mogote is the location of Paraiso del Mar, a resort development on 688 hectares (1,700 acres) on the eastern portion of the peninsula.

The development, begun in 2005, was planned to include over 3,000 homes and condominiums, two golf courses, a marina, a town plaza and various other amenities.

Land acquisition and development began despite concerns that the project would damage the ecology of the peninsula and surrounding waters.
