Friends of mine, two couples pulling two house trailers, camped alone on a beach between Pescadero and Cabo a few years ago. They were both robbed at gunpoint.

There are bad guys everywhere.

Yeah that’s too bad. That area is arguably the most beautiful in all of Baja. From Santa Rosalia to Gonzaga. You can hear whales sighing at night from the campgrounds. I believe Mike Humphreyvilles book At the foot of the Volcano must’ve taken place here because there are numerous caves in the cliffs. One thing to consider - if it weren’t for the narcs Carlos Slim would have converted this area into resorts years ago. The coast has remained wild because of them. Too wild I guess.

I really like coyotes. I like their independence and resourcefulness. I think they’re pretty smart as well. Back in the old days we used to camp at Punta Final. There’s a pack of maybe 15 coyotes in that area. One year I brought a dozen one gallon bottles of water for the trip and left them out while we went fishing. Bad idea. They had chewed off the tops of the bottles. The bottles were on their sides as they tried to lap the water at the openings. These were new sealed bottles. They didn’t chew any other part of the bottle. Some tops looked like they had been twisted off with their teeth. I was impressed. And peeed.

I have recorded all visible incidents involving foreigners in Baja for the last 10 years.
Yes robberies are happening. Always close to dense population centers.
My focus was on the murders.
10 in BC since 2018
2 in BCS

alone 4 in Bahia de los Angeles - plus rape and carjackings
not a good place

since we are on the topic - 10 armed robberies since 2019 in BC, 3 in BCS
RV break ins and theft is very popular in BCS
as expected in the tourist hot spots
La Paz (really bad), Loreto, Mulege and Todos Santos
I have no reports from the East Cape

This is so sad and scary. Our gem of a peninsula is slowly changing. Heart breaking that a man, minding his own business, is killed for his vehicle/belongings.

And always remember, life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by those moments that take our breath away.
