Beach East of Coco's
Can someone tell me the name of the black beach in a smallish cove east of Coco's Corner. How's the camping, snorkeling, Kayaking in that area?
Thanks, Tom.

Yeah, was there in the summer.
Good-to-excellent spearfishing up against rocks between Punta Final and C-bay.
Leopard grouper, firecracker yellows, etc.
Kayaking stellar, but stay close to shore if not a power stroker...wind does blow.
We went there via panga, not road.
Family living in the cove seemed congenial.
Keep in mind that the area south of Gonzaga is an occasional transhipment point for cocaine and tar traffiking, so perhaps best to ask to camp on
beach right there, or post up back towards Gonzaga.
Have a great time.

Seems that Pappy Jon's recent report confirms the drug activity. What a shame. I would want to go there but I would be looking over my shoulder too
much of the time.

The DEA and Coast Guard have had a big impact on the traditional Carib trade routes.
Like squeezing a balloon, the pressure goes elsewhere.
Now it's coming up through Central America again, up to Sinaloa, then over the border or across the Cortez to Baja.
This was recently documented by the AP and writers from the L.A. Times.
The cartels love Google Earth, by the way.
BUT...
Don't let that stop you.
In my experience, Baja campers are generally left unmolested.
We don't steal loads, and any police in the area are generally disinclined (read: on the payroll) to listen to our reports of "strange activity."
