3 looks like Calamajue
Raced through there but never took time to look around and enjoy the neighborhood

A narrow pier in a very well known bay.

Nice photos... I have been to all six. Let's see others have fun guessing.

#1...Alphonsina's?

#3...I agree, Calamajue wash

#4...Pancho's camp, Bahia San Rafael?

#6...The church designed by Eiffel, Santa Rosalia?

#5 - I cheated. Your pic is great, you can see the pier faintly here. The SAT picture is a head shaker. Is there a story to this bay? Looks like some machine help to get it to this state. Not big enough for a wiki P page but this MEX gov info page is a hoot to read.

Some travel posts say this is a private beach / private road. South of the photo sure looks like a airstrip(s) of years ago. ?

Divide route comes nice a close so worthy of an add to the map.

That is where Beto has a house and guest house. We stayed there a few years back.

I have some drone footage of the bay and pier.

There are houses on the beach but nobody was home when I was there. The road in has a gate and signed to check in at the house on the left. I did and Beto had no problem with us hanging out on the beach as long as we burned off any trash we put in the cans to the birds didn't pick it out and scatter it. The road in goes past the airstrip, I assume it's the airstrip serving the "resort" just south of this.

The road to the right just outside of Beto's gate goes along the airstrip runway for Punta San Francisquito Resort.

Too bad you didn't meet Pancho... A really stellar human.

Those shells are from the fresh seafood supply that was in his front yard!

How are we doing

J.Z., Are you going to fill us in on the correct guesses?
