That whole stretch is amazing and has many wonderful camp spots. Mostly two track with some ruts and mud holes after a good rain. I've only done it on
moto's but plan to drive the whole thing and camp in February next year.

The sandy beaches start near Faro San Jose. North of there they are rocky. Take the turnoff at KM168 north of Catavina. The road is easy to follow.
You should be in a 4 wheel Dr vehicle as there are some silt beds in some areas mostly around Punta Blanco. The last sister's beach is at Punta
Rosarito (The Wall) before coming out to KM62 on David's map.
It is a fun run especially summer time with warm days and cool nights from the ocean breeze.

We did it like 4 times over 2 years. The South part is smooth and easy going. The Northern 1/3rd can be a little bumpy in sections, but nothing
terrible.
Punta Lobos, Cona, and Punta Maria are my favorite spots. Some big dunes that are very soft. I was flying up a steep sand hill about 30 mph and the
front wheel just sunk into the sand and I went flying over the bars.
3 easy dirt cut downs from Hwy 1 and a paved one at the Southern end.
PM me if you want waypoints and tracks.

Notice he plays soft music in place of the racket those bikes make.

Really nice shots and editing! Especially love the drone shots. Tricky to be the PIC and rider at the same time.
What model drone did you use and did you hand fly it or use a program?
Thanks!

Used the original Mavic Pro for those shots. Hand flying. I fly a Mavic Pro 2 now. It's really great for landscape shots. Has a lot of automation
to make flying it easy. Here's a video of Valley of the Gods I did with it last year:

Just got a Skydio 2. Which is an autonomous flying drone that tracks subject movement.
