For that matter goat, salt flats everywhere in Baja... (flats, not marshes) that get a coating of sea water a few times a year but not daily (to create the salt)... why are they not all underwater daily???

You are quick to believe a government employee (who has a motive to remain in his position), but not your own eyes at all these salt flats?

They should all have become marshes (daily tidal flooding), or lagoons (annual or multi-month flooding) if the sea levels have risen so dangerously much.

Marinazul again


Marinazul Golf & Resort
Developed by Inveranate Crecentia,SA DE CV
Got curious after doing the Percebu poker run to see where we were driving compared to the new marina. The answer is we were somewhat north of the development parcel and closer to Percebu. I also noted that David’s coords for shell island pretty much land on the entrance to the marina at N30 46.3
Location on IGENI H11B57 With an image date of June 1993


Next topo map south H11B67


Next I found these images on the web locating the marina

That bottom map is off... they have the circle from the south edge of Bahia Santa Maria to Nuevo Mazatlan. The project is north and west of Bahia Santa Maria bay.

Building a marina on a salt flat that the next chubasco washes out will be waste of money, I believe.

Yes, the marina breakwater is about where the fish camp and road onto the island is located.

That breakwater will stop the natural movement of sand down the coast. It will clog the entrance (as in what happened at the La Salina marina near La Mision and at the Escalera Nautica marina at Santa Rosalillita.

I see no good coming to this project... wrong location... and after destroying the natural ecosystem between Laguna Percebu and Bahia Santa Maria, it will be abandoned. It will be even worse than what they did to Puerto Escondido, south of Loreto.

I am so fortunate to have enjoyed Shell Island from my first time on it in the 1960's when we drove it in our Wagoneer to Percebu, camping on it from 1978 to last July... maybe my last time, but I hope not!?

Yes, that's where Russ sends us those great sunrise photos from! It is next to Punta Chivato... but why have two places on the peninsula with the same name when there is another option?

Anyway, the Moon Baja guidebooks are onboard, see under Estero Percebú:
