Last week when we were at Los Cerritos we watched and angry confrontation which started when a group of men where putting in metal posts to block off
a certain area.
They obviously were in an area that the other party believed was "theirs"!! Soon the Policia arrived. We observed a transfer of cash, and the second
party removed the metal post.
There are fences everywhere!!! This will be very interesting to watchMarie-Rose - 8-10-2006 at 08:54 AM
We also noticed that ater the rain there were areas that are obviously fenced off( and, I assume, going to be the location of someone's new
construction) that were covered in water. This water did not drain quickly. These pools were there for days. Also have to note that this would not
have been considered a huge rainfall. Curious to see what it would look like after a hurricaneMarie-Rose - 8-10-2006 at 08:57 AM
This is the new entrance to Los Cerritos. Will they be closing these gates????El Jefe - 8-10-2006 at 09:33 AM
We drove through the area yesterday. The new land owners have certainly come in with a heavy hand. Ten foot chain link fences are everywhere with two
gates, one that you picture and another similar one at the southern entrance. There is a large palapa being built right where the men are standing in
the first photo. A sign on the site stating sombody's intentions included as one of the first points "public access."
It all looks terrible so far, as if they are establishing another Guantanamo prison between the old trailer park and the point. I just hope they do a
nice job with the inevitable development. All the Canadians who camp for free in the former trailer park are in for a surprise this year. Although not
fenced off yet, the view from that area has changed considerably.

Where is Los Cerritos located? I don't see it on my AAA map.Diver - 8-10-2006 at 10:52 AM
Just south od Todos Santos, on the Pacific coast. It's a long-time surf spot that has also been a long time camping area in various forms. I like to
camp in the hills just north and east of the old trailer park.Heather - 8-10-2006 at 02:31 PM
We were surprised by the fences all around Los Cerritos this summer, too. My husband also has some property there and there has been some grading
done around his property, too. We are waiting to put anything there as well, wait to see what happens! He's actually waiting to get the title for
the land as he purchased it from his ex-father-in-law. He's got the notario in Todos Santos working on the papers now. Guess we'll just wait and see
what develops! Heather.jack - 8-11-2006 at 08:04 PM
Its so disheartening to read this thread. I was camped at Cerritos two years ago and had a great time. I was planning to go back this year but it
looks like there's no Cerritos left to go to. Another great camping spot gone on the Baja. El Jefe - 8-12-2006 at 07:50 AM
Take heart. you can still camp there. There is lots of room in and around the old campground and further down the beach. But the changes are
happening.jack - 8-12-2006 at 06:29 PM
