Being the name of our favorite has already been said said aloud here, I too will refer directly to it. Even though Ensenada Blanca has been sold is it
still accessible this year? Anyone know the full story?

It's still accessible. You drive through a gaurded gateway just past the village. There are still other properties in the area so the Villains Group
can't block the road. For a while the southern end of the beach, closest to the village, was fenced off "to protect sea turtles." I understand after a
protest the fence was cut by govt order.
As for the fate of the village, wait and see. The developers want it removed. It certainly will be different having all the trucks, busses and workers
roaring through it.

I also put in a vote for San Quintin. Teaching my boys to surf there last Summer - it felt like we owned the joint...

For me, it means sand, and lots of it! Baja has many gulf and Pacific side... Beaches free from hords of people is a plus.
Getting to in a day or less of driving (from San Diego) is also a feature I like...
On the Pacific side, Cielito Lindo (Gypsy's) south of San Quintin is one uncrowded beach:
Playa Del Oro
Awesome Dave and not even a clam digger in sight
I always like it just after daylight
On the gulf side, my vote goes for 'Shell Island' (South of San Felipe area)... Photo at low tide...

We drove out to San Francisquito at the end of August.
Maybe we made a wrong turn.
We wound up a a military encampment at a small cove; appearantly north of San Fancisquito.
What did we miss? Wrong turn? Please advise.

Hi Mike...
Click on this link to Google Satellite Images and see the San Francisquito airstrip in the center between the cove to the north (Caleta San
Francisquito, off Bahia San Francisquito) and that wide sand beach to the south, facing south.
The fly in resort is on that wide beach at the south end of the airstrip.
The fishing (military?) camp is on the cove to the north.
The road to the resort splits off the cove road at the north end of the airstrip and runs along the airstrip to the resort 'Punta San Francisquito'.
LOOK: San Francisquito

If I did not consider all but one of you my distant friends I would lie...but...not being my style and having visited almost all of those great ones
shared...it is Punta Final/Gonzaga Bay for me.
When searching for the end of your rainbow you only have until dusk....
