The following is a loose log of the Easter crowd impact on some Coyote Bay camping beaches. (little known factoid: Coyote Bay is that part
of Conception Bay starting mid-channel westward... and from Santispac to the north ... to Santa Barbara to the south.)

I can remember I and my brothers first experience of 'Easter Week' on Juncalito Beach. We in 'big' travel trailers, and campers with their tents,
tarps, cars, trucks, parked in front of us ON the beach. Music. Ton's of kids. Noise. Ton's of kids, Noise, and continual traffic of human bodies
walking into the bushes day & night for you know what.!!! It was an experience of a life time. And we melted right into it.
But. Was glad when Monday came, and they were pretty much gone from the beach. Took all of us 'campers' two days to get the beach cleaned up.

Why is it they completely trash their own beaches and just drive away? Is it because they only do it once a year? We pulled into Juncalito on the
Monday after a couple of years back after a Semana Santa and were completely blown away by the piles of trash and empty glass bottles on the beach.
The flies were loving it. How nice.

The percentage of ones worth looking at is low until Friday and Saturday. That's when the talent comes out. Right now it's just the families with the
younger kids setting up.
Well, at least that's the way it is over here, since we have proximity to some larger cities like Hermosillo, Guaymas and Ciudad Obregon. We get some
extraordinary talent.

See the first post for latest updates of 'The Beaches of Easter',
The entire Coyote Bay area s not too crowed this year at all..and, so far, very quiet at night. Hey...I'm not complaining!David K - 4-23-2011 at 07:36 AM
Thanks Roger... Great Job showing the view of the campos.BajaBlanca - 4-23-2011 at 06:01 PM
I can't believe how EMPTY those beaches are ... 3 years ago when we made the mistake of driving around on semana santa, you could not see the sand for
all the tents !! I was just astounded ...
this year looks pretty mild ....tiotomasbcs - 4-23-2011 at 06:18 PM
Bikinis? I wish! Down here we get Levi cutoffs and Tshirts(with undergarment?!! If we're lucky some La Paz Debutantes might show and spice it up!
Cerritos Beach would be the Best Bet but I'm hangin low?! TioBob H - 4-23-2011 at 06:24 PM
Roger, thanks for the updates! Bob H
Some Easter Beach Updates
Pompano - 4-24-2011 at 09:39 AM
This is the pretty little ‘annex’ beach next to the Santispac Lagoon.
Note: I would not recommend the ‘hot springs’ during Eastertime….or any other time!
.
South Coyote Beach has the Tecate balloon…plus a volleyball court. (it's been a couple years since I used to jump higher than the net...or seen
daylight under my feet..)
Bertha's Beach Club Cafe. Almost empty at the moment. Fact is, not many of the Easter crowd spend a lot of money in the beach cafes. Not so odd, as
most all campers are usually well-stocked with their own off-sale and food. My own is well-stocked with survival items.
South Coyote Beach Road gets frequent marine visits..and some traffic control thanks to the Mulege Police Dept.
Hey!..what’s that in the water??!
Damn...how the heck do you operate the ZOOM on this thing...??
AHA! Got It!
(imagine we are on a wartime submarine and we hear this sound)

Impressive! Yeh Mexico!Marc - 4-26-2011 at 10:01 PM
Big mistake in 1996. I camped at Santispac Easter week. All Mexicans. They left the place a total garbage dump. Their idea of camping is walking
around in their own mess. Beer cans. egg shells urine, coffee grinds...you name it. Good friday and they are gone. Fortunately a cleanup crew went to
work and by afternoon the beach was back to normal (clean).BajaBlanca - 4-29-2011 at 07:11 PM
so impressive !!!! clean clean clean .. a miracle ....ddawson - 4-30-2011 at 10:54 AM
Great pics, thanks. I will not be visiting anytime around Semana Santa.
Good times had by all!
