Punta Eugenia

Punta Eugenia is a headland in the municipality of Mulegé in the Mexican state of Baja California Sur.

It marks the western tip of the Vizcaíno Peninsula, making it the westernmost point on the mainland of the state.

The settlement Punta Eugenia, with 19 inhabitants in 2017, is traditionally populated by native and seasonally recruited fishermen and their families.

Fishing industry in the Vizcaíno region annually produces thousands of tons of various species, which are mostly exported to Asian and North American markets.

The pattern of ocean currents and eddies around Punta Eugenia has been shown to be a significant phylogeographic break in the distribution of fish species.
