'''Pichilinque''' is a [port facility](/source/seaport) and port city in the [La Paz Municipality](/source/La_Paz_Municipality%2C_Baja_California_Sur), in the state of [Baja California Sur](/source/Baja_California_Sur), [Mexico](/source/Mexico).  It is located in the [Bay of La Paz](/source/Bay_of_La_Paz), on the [Baja California peninsula](/source/Baja_California_peninsula) nearby the state capital of [La Paz](/source/La_Paz%2C_Baja_California_Sur).

Pichilinque, derived from a [Guaycura](/source/Guaycura_people) name, was originally a favored anchorage in the Bay of La Paz.  This anchorage was used by the U. S. Navy for a base of operations against the west coast of Mexico during the [Mexican–American War](/source/Mexican%E2%80%93American_War).<ref name="Amero">Richard W. Amero, The Mexican-American War in Baja California, The Journal of San Diego History, SAN DIEGO HISTORICAL SOCIETY QUARTERLY, Winter 1984, Volume 30, Number 1.</ref>   It later developed into a port.  Two [ferry](/source/ferry) services operate from the port of Pichilinque, connecting the Baja California peninsula to the mainland at [Mazatlán](/source/Mazatl%C3%A1n) and [Topolobampo](/source/Topolobampo), near [Los Mochis](/source/Los_Mochis).
