Looks like FONATUR is giving up on the Nautical Ladder and selling Puerto Escondido.

Puerto Escondido for sale? That's a very unique piece of real estate.

BoLA gets a fintastic new road.
One of the best, yet fickle, point breaks in central Baja gets murdered.
Anyone surprised

WOW!!!....This is truly mind-bogeling if it is true.Makes you wonder just who is behind the helm?? ++C++

hmmm this has happened before with a French company. look it up as the happenings there won't help their sales efforts. caveat emptor

At least the harbor facilities now are beautiful. It's vastly improved from our first visit there 3 years ago.

Soooo.....Does anyone know if there still is a fully staffed operation there collecting $ for launching trailor boats, mooring buoys and anchor outs?
Security gaurds, ETC.? ++C++

I'd buy it if I had the $.

A very Beautifull Place.
1967 was used as a camping place for anyone who could make it down the "Old Road" then Americans and Canadians would not clean up their trash so where
moved up to the Trailer Park.
Then some Asians came in and started catching and canning yellowtail and selling it by the Case.
Then it was sold to a French Company who put in all the improvements that you see now.
Then The French Co. was kicked out and it has set still for the past 10 years or so.

Calling what the French put in at PE improvements is ludicrous.

They claim its part of a package deal including La Paz and Santa Rosalia.

They're selling the whole tamale, or should I say all of the "assets", and Merrill-Lynch is acting as broker. All 8 of the "finished" ones plus 2 that
are incomplete.
Mazatlan & Topolobampo in Sinaloa; Puerto Escondido, La Paz and Santa Rosalia in BCS;, San Felipe & Santa Rosalillita in BCN. San Blas in
Nayarit; Puerto Peņasco in Sonora. Which one am I missing...?
You can read a really good article from the surfers' perspective (written in May) about the failure of that huge boondoggle, with an emphasis on the
disgusting mess they made at Santa Rosalillita, at http://espn.go.com/action/news/story?id=4142118
It'll be interesting to see how they manage to sell it all off, who will buy, and what will become of it all...

To answer Crusoe's question, yes they are still charging to launch trailered boats as of last week. I forget what it was I think between $15-20. The
restaurant was open upstairs and I have heard good things about it.

Thanks Bajario.....++C++
