Punta Bufeo rooms/food

They were pretty swaybacked last time we were there but that is okay. La Poma sounds promising. Are there rooms there? Fud (Otis Fudpucker) put on our desert races until 2002 or 2003 when he passed away. He put out a monthly article in a local dirt rag called FudsCrud. He was an interesting bloke who really supported the bike racers. [Edited on 1-21-2020 by fudscrud]

When I was investigating every place in 2017, La Poma was a restaurant and offered camping on the beach. It was also building a house to lease and had lots available. In my trip report #3, I ate there, showed the menu and my dinner plate.

Here is photos and text from March 2017:

Km. 133.5 is the road to La Poma, restaurant, camping palapas, lots for lease. Camping is $10 US and the owner will add the tarp to the frame when you arrive. Good idea to preserve the life of the tarps.












My lunch was great... halibut! With beer + tip, 300 pesos

I was at La Poma from 11:30-12:37 Sunday. The only customer.
The owner is the brother of the owner of Punta Bufeo, which has a small motel and landing strip for pilots... 2 kilometers south. They are related to Papa Fernandez, as well.

Thanks David, the menu looks pretty good. I just hope there are enough customers to have fresh food on hand. "Roasted Meat" Hmm, sounds mysterious... The owner being Miguel's brother; these must be the boys that brought in fresh fish each morning for Mama at Bufeo we would see there in the early 2000's.

The "roasted meat" does sound mysterious but not as mysterious as the "toast" in both the mexican combos.

looks like beer and tacos are the hot setup

Beer and tacos for the win!

Not to jack this thread - but I'm looking at a spot just north of Papa Fernandez and south of Bufeo for camping. I've attached a pic of the area from Google Maps. If anyone can tell me what this area is called - what experience you may have for camping/room/restaurant/palapas/etc.

Don't want to spend that inflated Alfonsinas/Rancho Grande bill that's happening lately.

Any info is appreciated.

Yes, camp at the beach over the point from Papa Fernandez' place, facing the gulf. It is secure with limited access (rope across the road).
See my photos from Trip #1 report of 2017. El Faro (near where you pointed out, is pretty gloomy looking, abandoned fish camp, no sand beach. The Los Frailes well is between Papa's and El Faro. Rumored to date back to mission times. Spanish ships anchored in Gonzaga Bay offloading supplies and people for the missions in Northern Baja and San Diego. The warehouse outlines are still visible between Papa's and Alfonsina's.
