Can someone help me?? I'm looking for a beach called Playa Esmeralda.. All I know is that it is in the Tomatal area..Thanksshari - 11-27-2006 at 09:57 AM
Playa Esmerelda is at the north corner of Tomatal and you enter for the tomatal road and hang a right. there used to be a sign for it. There are a few
palapas and a friend of mine has a panga there and can take you fishing. Lovely spot, great beach, fishing, camping and beach combing.yellowklr - 11-27-2006 at 07:27 PM

Be careful if you're beachcombing on the south end...
Yep, it's samuel allright...and the beach combing is awesome...I found an entire gray whale balleen plate there! Lots of sea lion teeth too.David K - 11-28-2006 at 05:40 PM

The beach at the end of the road west of the military checkpoint.
One of the abandoned homes at El Tomatal, just south of the previous photo location. Did Blondie build this to replace her trailer here?
Other empty homes and beyond is the fishing camp at El Tomatal.
I did not see any sign of Miller's Landing with onyx blocks from the El Marmolito onyx mine inland from here or the mystery of El Tomatal described so
well by Michelle 'M' here on the Internet around 2001 (on Amigos de Baja, then). Here is a web page I made to tell her story of the mystery sound
amplifying stones and battery draining powers, with her photos: http://www.vivabaja.com/et/
Driving away from the beach, here is the little oasis.
Searching for Miller's Landing, this is about 2 miles south of El Tomatal.
Looking north towards El Tomatal from 2 miles south.

Camped a few miles south of Esmeralda earlier this year.
No wild dogs, no drugs beached on low tide, no spooky rock signs... just some fishermen stuck on the dunes. We pulled out their pickup and panga and
their gave us a really big chunk of fresh squid.
We could have stayed another week there, but ran out of cold beer.David K - 11-20-2019 at 11:04 AM
Nice photo! This looks south of El Tomatal & Miller's Landing, as well?
