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 VizcaÃÂno Peninsula, making it the westernmost point on the mainland of the state. It belongs to the larger area of El VizcaÃÂno Biosphere Reserve; it is separated from the mainland of the Baja California Peninsula by the VizcaÃÂno Desert. Infrastructural developments, like the completion of the VizcaÃÂno-BahÃÂa Tortugas Highway recently allowed for better integration of the traditionally secluded area (Punta Eugenia can be accessed from BahÃÂa Tortugas by a dirt road). Touristically, the area of Punta Eugenia is still largely unexploited. 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 VizcaÃÂno region annually produces thousands of tons of various species, which are mostly exported to Asian and North American markets.
To the northwest of Punta Eugenia lie Isla Natividad, Cedros Island and the Islas San Benito. 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.
