If you are interested in surf skip Asuncion, no surf and not much of a town, get " The Surfers Guide to Baja" great surf info. When in San Quintin
check out cabo San Quintin, you will need 4X4 but no one goes there.

Seriously 805? They have surf competition in Asuncion... It depends on what time of year for when the swell comes. The surf book points out lots of
surf breaks, but only some are valid depending on the season.
While it may not be for everyone, the town of Bahia Asuncion has sure impressed a lot of people. So much that they made it their second home.
The place was nearly an unknown until Shari made a web page and joined Baja Nomad... and raves for her hospitality, assistance and community support
cannot be ignored. Fishing, Surfing, Diving, Kayaking, Beach Combing, Hiking, Rock Hounding, Fossil Hunting, Off Roading, Photography are some of the
activities people can do from their stay at Bahia Asuncion.

Asuncion is a nice little town. It seems that are a some very special and caring people in it. It is not a great place to surf. Just a average break.
There many better surf spots along Baja.

Get yourself the Baja Adventure Book - any edition will do. Probably available on eBay or bookfinder.com. Check out the The List on this forum. You
might like Erendira area for surfing.

You should stick to subjects that you know about, (like missions that were built in the wrong location and were abandoned), no surf except a crappy
beach break way down the coast, you can hold a surf competion anywhere. All this is just self promotion to get visitors. How about some real advise
for a Baja newbe. You want him to come back send him where there is surf. |

Get an Almanac. Also get a couple baja maps from AAA.
Dont be too worried about the dirt roads, many are traveled daily by vehicles far less capable than a 4x4 ford diesel.
6 weeks is a nice trip, you should be able to see most of everyones favorites.
a couple of mine would be Gonzaga for camping or hotel.
The dirt road south out of Bay of LA to sanfrancisquito... then to el arco and south to Viscaino. A must is camping at Bahia Concepcion. The road from
Loreto to San Javier mission... then continue on the dirt SE to the Pacific, or NE to the pacific at Scorpion bay. While in Loreto get a panga ride to
Coronado island. This spring I hope to get to the area north of La Paz on the Cortez side. I believe there was a trip report and someone refered to an
area as the grand canyon of Baja.... anyone? David K's trip report from 2012 is good info.
