Been living in Ohio, California, Mexico, Portugal and Spain. Fell in love with Mexico almost to the point of obsession ;) The Gulf of California, also known as Sea of Cortes or Mar de Cortez (as known in Mexico), is the body of water that separates Baja California Peninsula from the Mexican mainland. It has a coastline of about 4,000 Kilometers (2,500 miles) and has an approximate area of 160,000 square Kilometers (62,000 sq mi).
The name âCaliforniaâ eventually was used to refer to the entire peninsula of Baja (Lower) California, comprising what are now the states of Baja California Sur and Baja California Norteâin Mexicoâ as well as what is now the state of California, USA, originally known as Alta Californiaâupper California.he Gulf of California is now also known as Sea of Cortes. After the war on 1846 Alta California became part of the USA and the âAltaâ part of its name was dropped. Baja California remained in Mexico keeping the âBajaâ as part of its name.
