      Punta Banda forms the southern boundary of the Bahía de Todos Santos, sheltering the Port of Ensenada from the Southern California Countercurrent. The twin islands of Isla Todos Santos lie about 6 km (3.7 mi) off the northwestern tip of the peninsula, further sheltering the bay.


      Ecology


      The peninsula lies on the boundary between the California coastal sage and chaparral ecoregion to the northeast, and the Baja California desert to the southwest.


      Tourism


      The peninsula is a popular tourist destination for those visiting La Bufadora, the second largest blowhole in the world and the only one in the American continent.
