Hello everyone, recently I made my first trek to Baja, two weeks of excitement and adventure. It's been a week and I want to go back to punta San
jose, south of ensanada.
Last week the hiway was under construction and I cannot figure out how to get to punta San jose (light house) without going through erendira and
backtracking north. Last time out I reached the light house from erendira but proceeded further north and ended up on a fun jeep trail which popped
me out at some private mining operation...
Any tips would be appreciated thank you.

Go to Santa Thomas and take the road that goes up behind the town. Stay to the north. I am sure there will be maps to follow. That will get you there.
While at the medic place there is a road that switchbacks up the hill. That"s the road get on it, you'll do fine.
Last time you went to Punta Chine one road off to the north.
There are maps (David K), photos (Ateo), and satellite images (TMW) with the roads added...
Here is one of the maps from that post:

Got it, thank you!
Is the road to salsipuedes closed right now last week when I took the turn off there were cones blocking the road down to the water...David K - 9-21-2016 at 07:03 AM
I can't answer, as I was on Hwy. 3 to Tecate from Ensenada, two days ago... and the closest I ever got to Salsipuedes before was to pull over at the
viewpoint along the highway.Ateo - 9-21-2016 at 07:04 AM

Yes. It's permanently closed.Isignay - 9-21-2016 at 07:14 AM
Are you allowed to walk down where the cones block the road or Are you not allowed to go down these days ?BajaGeoff - 9-21-2016 at 11:22 AM
I don't think they want anyone on the property. I have friends from Ensenada that will hike in to surf but they come in from the south side of the
point down on the beach. Most people bring a boat or jet ski from Ensenada to get to the surf. BajaGeoff - 9-21-2016 at 01:44 PM
Sorry for the oversized pic, but here is a little map of the turnoff. Not sure what the construction is like, but after you pass El Palomar, find the
Abarrotes Santo Tomas Tecate store (small picture) and that is the road you want to turn off on to head towards the coast...then north towards Punta
San Jose. Hope this helps!
