Todos Santos resort lost to beach erosion

This article in the Todos Santos Insider pins the blame on El Niño, but it also appears that the developers played fast and loose with building codes and environmental impact studies. In this case, the ocean gets the final word.

I feel for the local employees.

Not so much for the (outside?) developers.

May the Punta Lobo fish camps catch even more fish.

Off, topic but bear with me for a moment of reflection from the 70's when I escaped SoCal at Pescadero for a couple of months every winter.

Has the hidden bay just south of Punta Lobos ever been developed?

The hike in and down decades ago was absolutely gorgeous.

The beautiful bay with its small ocean entrance limited some larger

boats, although it might have been a whaling boat bay back in the

1800's.

You locals will know better than I about its former use.

How could a hotelier profiteer resist wanting to build there?

Was it somehow preserved? I hope so.

Now back to Punta Lobos.
