Where is Cocos Corner


Can somebody tell me where Cocos Corner is located ? Also maybe a good sandy beach to camp at on the Cortez side around Loreto and north on the way home.

Well, first you go straight, then you'll turn a corner. You'll find it there.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

It's between Bahia Gonzaga and Highway 1 - the Transpeninsular Highway.

GREAT map Pacoderm!

Tin Can... I recommend that on your way North you exit MX-1 at Laguna Chapala dry lake and make your way back via
Coco's Corner (stop and meet him and sign his book) through Gonzaga Bay (an absolutely beautiful area). Stop at Alfonsinas to spend the night or just to have something to eat and drink some beer. There is also a small cantina at Papa Fernandez place (supposedly run by his grandaughters) and camping on a beautiful secluded beach. Then make your way North from there through San Felipe. Options after that are going direct to the States via Mexicali or turning left North of San Felipe to Ensenada then up MX-1 again to the States. It's a nice drive either way.
Send us a trip report when you get back.

I found the map by entering "coco's corner map" in Google and then hit Images. That map was the first image to show up. On the same page, I saw this sign that caught my eye. The site that contains the sign also has bunches of very interesting photographs of Los Angeles. It is worth a peek. http://www.eleventwentyseven.com/archives/cat_photolog.html
