I guess it's important for Nomad-Wannabees like me to resist the hypocrisy of being attracted to a place like Todos Santos because of decades of slow
but steady progress while shaking our pale fists when the progress continues. Any economy that doesn't grow ultimately stagnates. One can only hope
that the developers of Tres Santos are transparent and level-headed.

Tres Santos - Punta Lobo Marina?
Hey the plans at one point showed a proposed marina. I heard this was out and the proposed marina had been re-located south of Cerritos and north of
Rancho Nuevo. Does anyone have any knowledge of this? Or was the person I spoke to misinformed? thanks

Looks like a Marina to me. It appears they are also filling in 100s meters of rock to build up their property at the beach. High tides and big surf
have been carving away beaches and a few new houses in Pescadero have ocean splash within a few meters of their front decks. Hhmmm, economic
development in the future of Todos...I'm still mulling this over, Mono. Slow Growth appears out. What about my questions? Will locals work for min
wages? Iasked first, ja ja. Tio

Tio, Does anyone in Mexico work for minimum wage? I believe it's around 50 pesos a day currently.

Tres Santos - Punta Lobo Marina?
I just looked at the web - reviewing the plans for this development on the website I and do not see any mention of a marina. Has anyone heard anything
about a marina south of Cerritos and north of Rancho Nuevo? bk

Every few years there is talk of it, but
I've never seen anything concrete. The logistics and capital required for such a project on an open Pacific beach are such that it will not likely
happen anytime soon.

I believe that's correct - at the very Southern end of Todos Santos as you enter from Cabo.

According to this article in the Baja Insider, Tres Santos is a happening thing. During my last trip to Todos Santos, they had their hub set up at the corner
of Calle Juarez and Marquez de Leon, where they were handing out literature advertising pre-sales of lots and condos. I'm hoping that development will
be done in manageable phases, and that the efforts to be transparent and visible within the community continue.

Hello,
I just returned from Baja visiting La Paz, Cabo and Todos Santos area. I love going to Punta Lobos so we went there this time too. I was shocked to
see the development there. So far there is no buildings there but every day a few dump trucks were going like clockwork bringing dirt and filling a
huge section right where the fishermen launch their boats and sell fish.
Once we were up on the hill, we could see a big chunk of land was cleared and flattened and being filled. It didn't look like "mega" development
right now, but it is matter of time, I think.
Years ago, Cerritos was a beautiful quiet beach, but now it is just an ugly developed place (with good waves). The access to the beach is getting
more and more limited. I am sad to think Punta Lobos will be the next.
