Best Beach
A few years back when Ty Miller was operating out of Tripui, he talked about a place he called "Best Beach:" which he advised was on the backside of
Carmen. Does anyone know of it and if so do you have a better location? such as in the middle, towards the north or south?
Thanks

Seagar,
He may have been talking about the beach on the eastside of Carmen were the old saltworks used to be. Indeed a nice beach. But many other ones on the
islands around Loreto.
The one on the north end of Monserrat comes to mind. Half a mile of white sand beach with gentle sloping beach, great for swimming and snorkeling.

Seagar: There are several beaches in that area. Best to go take a look for yourself.
Now it use to be that my old friend Mundo worked at the Salt Mine for 8 pesos a Day, then some years later after the Mine was supposedly closed you
might be sleeping on that beach when a Plane load of Drugs would land and off Load into the old Mine.
There is one favorite of mine and it seems to be the one Ty was talking about.
Cruise up the East side very close in and you will find it. You will know beacuse it is like no other you have every seen. Dive down to about 25 Feet
and look around.

Beaches
Better check the legality of using any island beaches. There may be restrictions. Last I heard a special permit was required to set foot on any island
within the Loreto Marine Park.

Have not heard this, but I could be wrong. I do know that pangas off-load turists daily on the beach on Coronado without any type of permit. They
even have palapas set up on the beach for shade.

There are miles of beaches, combine the Pacific and the Sea of Cortez coastlines. How many miles? Expect you'll be able to find your own favorite
beach without having to go to the off shore islands. Good luck. You're gonna have one heck of a good time making up your mind.

Impossible question to answer in my opinion.
My favorite one is the one I'm at with a cold Pacifico and some shade. But I admit I'm easy.

La Mejor
This would have to be best beach as far as i can tell. Groupers fighting over Crocs at high tide and perfect, glistening peelers at all other tides.
Sin nadie.
