Does anybody know how deep or what condition the marina is in? Or a way I can find out more information about it...Slowmad - 2-13-2007 at 02:21 PM
Filled with sand and unusable.
No potential benefit to the fishing co-op or yachtsmen.
(Sailers have always avoided this bight as it's a hazardous lee shore.)

Keep it up you guys. They are planning to build another one right in front of my house here in East Cape. I am holding the big 3, Puerta La Salina,
Santa Rosallilita and Puerta Los Cabos out as examples of how to turn pesos into sand.Skipjack Joe - 2-13-2007 at 07:20 PM
Whether the harbor fills with sand or not matters little to me. The damage to the coastline has already been done.oldhippie - 2-14-2007 at 12:10 AM
I was there earlier his month during low full moon tide. Sand in the middle. Looked more the size of a big boat ramp than a marina to me.Slowmad - 2-14-2007 at 10:41 AM

From the quarrying at San Andres to the disruption of sand flow leading to erosion and backcutting, to the absurdity of the pavement, to the
destruction of the traditonal panga beach...just an utter boondoggle.
Best case scenario at this point is for Fonatur to dismantle the jetties and call the road a "gift" to the co-op.
Unlikely. I fear a face-saving "surge" where they install a permanant dredge and continue to erect "infrastructure." Or worse still, build a huge
breakwater around the existing marina.bajaandy - 2-14-2007 at 11:13 AM
Anybody got any recent pictures of this miracle of modern engineering?Slowmad - 2-14-2007 at 01:32 PM
This one's eleven months ago.
Just picture even less water and more sand.
the buildings (customs?, hotel?, gas station? etc...) are going up quick. none of the fotos show this but it is lining the south and est side of the
marina....

the only positive thing about it has been in regards to the surf...
