San Juanico cantina CLOSED again
Just heard notice that the cantina is now closed, barbed wired off. Feds shut them down. I hope the campground is still open, I'm heading there in a
couple weeks.
Anyone here know why?

Most of the posts are pretty old Matt... I think since Carlos Fiesta died and Juan del Rio also stopped posting here, a lot has gone down hill???

Go to Christi's Tacos or the Burro. Bummer to see the cantina close again. They have some legit food in there.

I went in the summer of 2010 and 2012. I remember it being closed both times. Camping was available though. Burro worked just fine for grub and grog.
I'm headed back the end of Julio.

Glad to hear the food is legitimate. Not a fan of illegitimate food.

I sure hope the restrooms are still open for all the bluff campers!
Otherwise, I fear an early season bloom of the white desert lily

Did someone burn it (palapa) down again? I helped put a fire out there back in 2010 or 2011. We were sitting on the balcony of our house drinking
beers and saw the fire break out. We grabbed a hose and fire extinguisher and drove over there. After it was put out I wondered if I had just gotten
in the way of an arsonist. So much drama involved over the campgrounds, I figured next time I'd just watch it burn.

No this time somebody used a dump truck with a steel cable to yank the main concrete support pillar down in the middle of the night.

Barf is right. 
Word is out that Baja is "safe" again... Stoked for the people who will get more business from surf tourism driving the coast, but not that stoked on
the surfers who don't have any clue on Baja etiquette

Why would an arsonist torch the cantina and what's up with the damage done? Must have missed that post.

sean Collins was part of a group that wanted to sell lots and close access to the point/campers. the cantina has a 25 year lease that sc's crew is
trying to break. looks like they did it.
these are the same kooks who sold out and promoted every swell via surfline.com and now want to own the point(s) and keep out the masses......
I'm sure there is more to it, but you get the idea.

Scorpion Bay Cantina Torn Down
We showed up to Scorpion Bay around June 8th , 2014, to find the cantina closed off with barbed wire, Federales standing guard, and "private property
signs". We heard from the other campers that men came in the middle of the night to put up the barbed wire. They also tried to pull down the
cantina with a truck but did not succeed. Some of the campers thought they saw the men bring gasoline so the campers left in case there was a fire.
A few nights later, the dump truck and men returned, but with chain saws this time. They used the chain saws to cut each supporting beam till each
beam was just a thread. Then the dump truck pulled the cantina down with a cable. The men laughed and cheered at the demolished structure.
The bathrooms no longer work (no power so no water.) People are still camping on the bluffs. But don't expect internet or prepared meals.
