the salt flats are called Salina de Trinidad, and there are two nice sandy beaches, between the salina and Los Corrales.
the Rancho San Miguel buildings have been already restored, and the next project would be the nice single block building with the stain glass windows closer to the beach, to be restore to its former beauty.

Playa La Palmita is another great beach with soft sand in the area

North wind can render it useless some days

Thanks, Karl and Harald for confirming there is a nice beach in that region.
I think the beach Roy was describing is this one?:

Yes, Salina de Trinidad is the one I was talking about. One beach is about 1 mile North of Salina. Well, at least, there is no development next to this beach yet. And there is one more beach closer to Salina, maybe half a mile from Salina. It has a small islet called Isla Lobera - there were indeed sea lions on that rock - but the beach is gravel. It gets sandy farther inland, towards the road (and dirtier too).

Yes.
N27.55' (55 minutes) or decimal 27.92 degrees. Mas o menos. I used to call it "mosquito beach" :), mucho no-seems. Punta Almirante is good few miles North, but I guess they could call it Playa el Almirante.

Punta Almirante and Playa Almirante are tied together

a nice beach close to there (just 2 miles south) is San Barnabe (Consag named it)
we call it Lobster Bay, because the rocks are full of lobster

Here are some pictures I took on the various trips I made along the coast. Before the rock corral you had to get on a sandy beach and drive for a while.


In front of the corral

Further south

South end of the salt flats looking toward the SOC

I'm not sure where the next set of pictures were taken along the coast




I think this picture was taken after the turn west away from the coast and then back to the coast at 27-56.16x112-46.10 or a little further south.


To the north of the last picture the trail turns west into an arroyo at a sandy beach section for a short distance then climbs upon a flat area to a road going west. That maybe a nice sandy beach at 27-57.12x112-45.82.

The very next photo is where the map says "Corrales". North side of the Bahia Juan Bautista, close to Punta Bautista. North of parallel 28. This is evening but it doesn't look much nicer in midday. Not my idea of a nice beach, - let them have this hotel there ;) ...

Looks like the one. The stick on the right is the remainder of barbed wire fence that was there for some reason, years ago.

I don't remember it being tied to Punta Almirante, but some other cove to the North could be. It's been a while since I camped there.

Back in 2011 or about that time frame Nomad Fernweh did the NWT and also the area past R. San Miguel to the northeast and the stone house.

The Tres Virgenes eco-lodge has quite a collection of pictures on their walls of hunters and their trophies.

Just saying as I'm not a hunter and don't see the appeal. (Except maybe for fish :) )

Sorry to see NWT fenced off though.
