Hey Jim... that Hurricane Javier is heading right up the coast, you came back too soon for some real waves!

Did you camp at Solosports or just nearby? Anything else to report? Did you get any langostas from the village? Side trip to Las Pintas?

Haven't been there for years, how is it now? Overbuilt up?

No, Punta San Carlos on Baja's Pacific coast (hint: SURFER Jim), where there are waves. It is south of El Rosario/Punta Baja about 30 miles as the crow flys.

http://www.solosports.net is a windsufing 'resort' there... not much else!

Unless of course,


you spend your time with the locals rather than the gringos. Then there is plenty to do.:light:
