Credit Cards - Although some businesses in Mexico accept credit cards, most transactions are done in US dollars or MX pesos outside the hotel. You do not need to exchange US dollars to MX pesos as dollars are widely accepted in Southern Baja. Also, ATMs are available at the hotel and in town dispensing dollars and pesos.
Here are some US currency denominations recommended for your trip:
30 – $1 bills for small tips
10 - $10 bills for bait
10 - $20 bills for boat tips and souvenirs
It is better to have extra cash than not enough for your trip.
