Baja Launch ramps - Mag Bay, San Carlos


Thought I would add some photos (now that I've learned to re-size them) of different launch areas around Baja for other trailer boaters who like to explore as I do but don't like ugly surprises once we get somewhere.

This is San Carlos which can handle anything you can tow there but only on a mid-high tide. Avoid extereme tides as the start of the ramp is fairly flat and you could end up getting your truck completely in the water before you have enough to float. The bay is VERY shallow with numerous sand bars so make sure you follow someone with similar draft until you get it tracked on your chart plotter

Is that at Ed Tabor's (Flying Sportsman Lodge, Loreto) old Mag Bay resort?
