I took that photo of my late surf buddy Jimbo. We would camp/surf on a bluff that's now full of houses. This day we surfed our brains out and then
headed into town to what I recall was the only little taco stand at the time for some grub and next thing I knew Jim was not at the table and I looked
up to see him in the lineup right off what is now the malecon. Grabbed the camera and got a few snaps. He was a charger in the surf and in life and
was unfortunately his undoing.
The first time we surfed Abreojos together we flew in from Natividad for the day. Good times.
RIP Jimbo.

Yeah, those were the days when you could camp on the bluffs without gringo houses staring you down...there's still places further down to camp but the
flies seem to get worse.

Amen to that.
I have some fine memories of coming down on christmas vacation and camping on the bluffs. Caught corbina with kastmasters right from the bluffs during
morning high tides.
Then came back to this delightful place and there were the houses. Never been back since.

Cool, thanks for the responses.
One more question: are the flies mostly an Abreojos thing, or are they everywhere along that stretch...what about Punta Prieta and Asuncion to the
north or at Campo Rene? |
The flies are fairly scarce in La Bocana. I spend a lot of time outside and they are seldom bothersome…
Unless you go to the basurero after the Co-op has dumped their daily fish heads. Now that's a different story.

Don't camp at the point... chit blows downwind.... Leave the point to the sorry homeowners who got ripped off. There are great, if not better waves
both north and south, and the beaches are 100xs more beautiful minus the flies and less wind. Drive or walk or even paddle to Razors if need be....

Anyone try the fly spray made for horses? It is called piranha and works incredibly well at keeping horse flies off our horses. Any feed store should
have it. Curious if it would work on smaller flies.
