 You got yourself all dirty, and the dog is still clean......how did that happen?
 
 Where is Malarrimo beach?
 
 
 
 
 If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

 Back in the 1960's, Malarrimo became famous for the treasures of the Pacific that this big hook of Baja would catch...
 
 Mike McMahan talked it up the most in his books...
 
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
  Chuck Potter and wife Ginger (Mike's daughter) in center.
 
 
  
 
  
 It made seeing Malarrimo highly desirable... specially after a storm!
 Graham Mackintosh wrote about finding gin... and later some tonic, during his walk in the 1980's.
 
 The problem is the wide flat beach has quick sand, and that id hidden by the dry sand winds blow over it off the dunes. If you do drive the beach, hug
the cliffs and dunes and don't venture out onto the wide flat beach.
 
 Oh, and leave the torpedoes alone!!!

 I think you are correct. The wikimap in that post is dated 2015.
