Is Loreto Bay Company Closing Popular Beach Access?

Anonymous - 4-29-2005 at 09:31 AM

Is public access to a Nopolo beach adjacent to the El Camino Real Hotel is being closed by the Loreto Bay Company? The beach includes public parking and public shade palapas, as well as access to scenic Punta Nopolo. Loreto Bay is now showing lots adjoining the hotel. The access road is straddled by at least one lot, and chalk lines and staked string now block the road. The combination of the golf course, the hotel, and now the Loreto Bay development apparently will form a seamless barrier to the public.

Gee, what a surprise. Certainly don't want any Mexicans on the beach.

I doubt that

the Mexicans will want to be on that beach anymore. Same with anyone else in their right minds!:barf:

this is only the beginning

Same thing now in front of Rancho Sonrisa

The same has happened North of Loreto in Front of Rancho sonrisa, However it was done to keep the Vehicles Off. When I was there a couple of Months ago the mexicano people are still fishing and using the Beach, just not Driving.

Too Bad.

Why "too bad"? It is the law. Fact is, it is their law.

Weren't you a law enforcement officer? Why should you find it disappointing that people obey the law?

Seeing Baja the way it was before the gringos started imposing their ways, including driving on the beach was a part of Baja that many of us enjoyed.
I'm sure there are some that prefer their enclaves and have never experienced the "flavor" of Baja past but it used to be a pretty rugged and "free" kind of place.
You know, like the u.s. advertises:lol::lol::lol:

Skeet/Loreto - 4-29-2005 at 03:39 PM

It belongs to the Mexican People, except if you are Rich American and want the Beach closed so you do not have to look at the working Fisherman and their Families.
Yes I like it better the Ole way.

Right, "Free". Save the BS for the families of the two kids who were killed last month on the Rosarito beach.:mad:

And it's not gringos imposing their ways. The law was written by Mexicans, for Mexicans.

Not exactly BS Dave

And like I said, the way it used to be before the pinheads, gringos, whomever it is that are acting like idiots in plenty of places here.
Obviously you missed out on the more remote areas and how Baja used to be back when it was Mexican instead of a bunch of complaining foreigners trying to turn it into lost angeles. Too bad!
I also realize that these laws are definitely needed now that the majority of gringos seem to be lacking in common sense just like in the u.s.

Re: Driving on the beach

Actually, in regards to the specific stretch of beach north of Loreto that Skeet mentions...when they recently put in the barriers, they made two of them too far apart. Far enough apart for a pickup to pass between, lol.

You think the law against driving on the beach is new and designed specifically for Gringos?

Even "Back when it was Mexican" there was a law against driving on the beach.

Absolutely correct

jrbaja - 4-29-2005 at 05:20 PM

I just don't think there was such a lack of common sense then, no matter where it wasn't or who didn't have it, at least they stayed at home without it !:light:

No Dave

Skeet/Loreto - 4-29-2005 at 05:22 PM

The laws of Mexico have been on the Books for years. The Hotel Oasis received a Concession many years ago as well as the La Pinta{El Presidente to us Ole folks}. there was not any enforcement of the law until such time as the outsides came in andstarted to exercise their Money Authority.

Dave, you should really go down South of Loreto and you could learn what Baja is all About. You are missing out.

Seen this happen in P V , Punta Mita village was bought out and relocated by the Japanese. They built a big resort and golf course. Then tried to stop people from using the beach with guards but it didn't work as it is federal land and the locals know this..:tumble::tumble::tumble:

And

jrbaja - 4-29-2005 at 05:32 PM

running over each other! I erased the laughing smileys out of respect for the families but really, living in Rosarito and traveling all over Baja, this is so common I am not even surprised anymore.
Caused by alcohol, lack of experience, or weight to control whatever atv they happen to be riding and most importantly, stupidity or a lack of common sense. Every time!
The locals who drive on the beach are not doing it to have fun, they are launching boats, picking up catches, making repairs. They have common sense.
Now, because of idiots, usually rich gringos or canadians, there are laws being enforced to stop the locals from doing this.
While the P-nche gringos don't care about a fine because they can afford to pay it and they are having too much fun.
Who does this law benefit? The Mexicans? Hardly Amigo!!
