Are you trying to buy without seeing it? In a hurry to get rid of your money? This playa is not just a remote subdivision, there is no development at all. You can hardly even see other human dwellings from there. Yes, you will be ripped off continuously. You can't leave there anything other than a camper shell - and an old one at that. In a place like this, even in an old camper you better stay continuously for the duration of the vacation. You take a stroll along the beach for 2 hours, and all the food and small items are gone. Even in a developed gringo-town like those along Mulege river or Concepcion Bay, when you go North forsummer, you better don't leave anything behind, even items of a "camping value". This is Baja, people are poor.

Yes, there are no "casitas" at the future development site called The Cove, South of Sta Rosalia. There are just empty lots and a model home in the middle, guarded 24/7 by somebody, I could see his pickup. There is a fence and a gate, and I personally wouldn't find much to steal there, and yet there is a guard on duty. This tells you something about theft problem in Mexico, doesn't it...

I suggest you find some cheap casita to rent, Mulege probably has some to offer after another flood. Camp there for a season, check the area, talk to people.

See, here is the problem with reports about Baja. This account of the Cove development is totally inaccurate. George and Carol Wade are the developers, and that is their house that you saw on the property. They live there full time and that was their pickup, boat, and small Isuzu. There is a house under construction as we speak and another storage / bodega type of building. So the only guard is the owner and he will be glad to try to sell you a lot.
