For those of us who don't get around much, where is this?

It looks beautiful...

It's west of Punta Banda, below Ensenada. Spectacular coastline. No place to be after the sun sets. It's a hotbed of smuggling activity, commodity and people.

There are campgrounds there and quite often times many campers-diving-kayaking. People do spend weekends camping. I have not heard of problems with smugglers.

View of Arbolitos from the road above. The 'campground' consists of level areas to park and maybe two primative outhouses. This photo our truck is parked where people might camp. You can see the blue outhouse in the background. There are stairs here that lead down to the water. This spot is busy during the day with local fishermen.



The man who lives there with his two young sons does not own the property, he was given permission from the ejido to live there in exchange for keeping the spot cleaned up. He will ask you for $5. per day.

There is a boat ramp that is used by the local urchin fishermen. We launch our kayaks there, but would not bring our panga up and over the hill to launch here. Heading down into Arbolitos the road is pretty rough.



Edit: added photo
