Baja 4-06 (Part 4 of 4): La Lobera
La Lobera is the 'sea lion crater' just north of El Rosario... 3 miles from Hwy. 1 between Km. 47 and 48. New power lines follow the road all the way
there. The road is easy 2WD graded, but was very dusty last Sunday!
It is a collapsed sea cave that makes a perfect beach for the lobos (sea lions).
I first reported on it last May http://vivabaja.com/505
Chris hadn't been there yet, so it was fun showing it to him.

Next to the (future) restaurant at La Lobera is this man made tide pool which will be used to raise lobster and abalone for the restaurant!
In the distance... the farthest point is Punta Baja.

La Lobera has a dynamic seashore and offers great photo and insperational opportunities! Photo looking north...

I hope you enjoyed a look at our short Baja weekend trip.
The peninsula is indeed a magic place, I am constantly amazed at the continued ability it has to fulfill my adventure needs!
The past year I have made several trips to El Rosario (where staying at the Baja Cactus Motel instead of tent camping has almost spoiled me) alone. I
have discovered that there are dozens of places near there that offer the kind of things I like (off roading, historic sites, geologic sites, beaches,
and the great food is nice, too)
Here are the web pages that feature those sites in or near El Rosario:

Viva Baja everyone!

David,
Fantastic trip report you put together here. The photography puts us all right there along with you. Lot's of new construction at La Lobera really
surprised me.
Muchas Gracias Amigo!

La Lobera? Yes, a really cool place and Diamante del Mar property is from there south to La Bocana beach... Can you imagine playing golf along that
coastline for dramatic effect!?
Get a digital camera... no more film to develop!!

Nice photos
David, to the best of my knowledge Spiny Lobsters have never been commercially cultivated successfully.. In fact when left in isolated tanks they
will sometimes commit cannabalism.
Abalone although successfully cultivated by very few are extremely difficult to raise and involves a complex lab and lifecycle arrangement unless the
tank is truly "tidal" that is..
Could be a great "holding tank' I suspect.

I guess we will see? I can't imagine raising enough in that tank once the hungry golfers start lining up!

DK..
To access la lobera, do you go in through El Rosario towards Pta Baja then north? or Go in the dirt at the end of the long straight stretch of hwy
past san Quintin? Or either? LOOKS LIKE pta Baja is quite a distance from there..Curious...
TT

Neither... it has its own driveway between Km. 47 and 48 as you climb up towards the Rosario mesa on Hwy. 1. You can't miss it now because of the new
POWER LINES and poles along side the road all the way in (3.0 miles/ 5 kms.)... Ignore the keep out sign half way in.    
A 20 peso ($US2) parking fee is collected for the day... also camping at additional fee.
The GPS directions and the above directions were posted when I first visited this place at http://vivabaja.com/505

Yes, I know the road. I knew I could find it on viva baja, but i get so side tracked by the other cool stuff..... always wondered where that road
went..so your saying it does not connect to either north (s.q.) or south(pta baja)? One way in, one way out?
if so that takes some of the fun out of it

Well a half mile in, the graded La Lobera road swings left (south) and an older road continues straight (west) to the coast... Never been, but I
suspect it is where Ken Bondy goes for some cool photos!?
As for La Lobera exit... nope, it's at the end of the road with cliff coastline north and south. No road north to El Consuelo or south to La Bocana or
Punta Baja.
Diamante del Mar may build a road to La Lobera from their sales office... but that is on private land, and you would need connections to have
access... IF they build such a coastal road.
