"this is an overnight stop, not a resort"
I do think this is true, but El Rosario could become a getaway destination in itself for a 2-day stay. There's the mission ruins, museum, La Ventana,
restaurants. What would be an asset to the tourists (and citizens) is easy access to a beach. North of El Rosario (before the winding hills) I
believe most of it is private property. There are some rutted, eroded dirt roads to a cliff, or a rock strewn arroyo - the beaches a bit out of reach.
Then there's the road to Punta Baja - at the punta the fishing co-op boats, just south of there along the coast, the road appears OK, but dicey due to
some erosion ditches and deep powder dirt; and cliffside destinations. Taking the turnoff to Punta Baja there is a road that goes about 3 miles to a
nice beach, through some interesting geologic formations; I hiked this dirt "road" and there was deep sand in places; and last time I was in the area,
access to this road was hindered due to a high dirt berm because of road grading - no place to even pull off the main road. The hike alone would be
an attraction, but you'd need safe parking. A stay in town, with a day at the beach, maybe even some fishing opportunities would add some appeal to
stay more than a night. |
you know david...."Always Be Selling" think you can buy a copy of his
"missionary's gone wild" in antonio's lobby?
WITH THE BURRO??? 
we love Cataviña but it was a bit too far
this time (and is a lot more expensive) ... we would definitely stay at Baja Cactus again ...
