Alfonsinas Beach Without Staying There
Does anyone have any info on accessing the beach near Alfonsinas without staying at the hotel or owning one of the houses? Although I've been to
Gonzaga a thousand times, only once have we ever been to Alfonsinas, and only for a few minutes.
I'd really like to shore fish for an hour or two on that beach trying to get some schooly yellows or corvina. Can I just tell the guard we want to go
to the beach? If we go have lunch, will they hassle us if we fish for a bit by the houses? Thanks!

If you stay on Hwy 5 just a bit south of the Alfonsinas turnoff, you can turn off the highway toward Punta Final and find a place to cut down to the
beach and fish til your hearts content.
Otherwise, I believe you will be fine buying lunch at Alfonsinas and using their beach to fish from.

The beach is public in Mexico. Fish your heart out! Park by the east end of the Rancho Grande runway or near the first home, unless you want to fish
by the hotel. There are a couple of Gonzaga Bay Facebook groups you can ask on.
Next time I am on them, I will ask for you!

Thanks for the info guys. I've fished a lot of the beach from Rancho Grande to Punta Final. The fishing is best between Rancho Grande and Alfonsinas.
I'm not bringing my kayak this trip, so I wanted to get to the better beach by land.
I'm thinking I'll just tell the guard we're going for lunch, then stop to fish before getting to Alfonsinas.

Been getting replies on the Gonzaga Facebook pages. Yes, tell the guard near the gas station that you are going to the restaurant and then go fishing.
Another said you could go to Rancho Grande and pay a day use fee.

Thanks David. I’m trying to get further North along the beach than Rancho Grande, and if I’m remembering correctly, there are rocks or something
blocking the beach at the end of RG. I’ve made my way past that guard before. I’ll likely just go that route. Thanks.

Where you hoping to park, near or on the beach?
Here is a photo from 2011 that shows the rock seawall at the end of the Rancho Grande runway, looking towards Alfonsina's:
