Also known as
Alisitos
And I heard that there is now a restaurant called La Fonda Rio in the same area.
As well as Palapa de Jose which has great live guitar music and really good food.

and also a great fish
taco joint right up the street...as far as restarauants go those places might be a little cheaper but definitely not as good,the owner of la fonda
brings alot of the meats and other food in from his own farm and it is superb

Yank!
Cops in Baja. are found at TACO STANDS!!!!!
Evolution into DONUTS is coming though!!
Good donuts are found at most panderias in LaPaz, and one store owned by the daughter of Famza paint in La Paz, His name is Carlos, but can't recall
hers. Donuts, and nothing else but donuts! Cabo airport also has a nothing but donut outlet!! Very popular with the younger no mucho dinero tourist
crowd!! Most don't drink coffee, just a couple of donuts, and wash it down with a couple Red Bulls!!!and maybe a couple shots of CHEEP tekillya!!

Just Got Back
We spent 1 night at Punta Cabras and another at the camp just north of it, about 30 minutes up the road through the cow ranch.
Does anyone know the name of that camp? Is it Punta San Jose?

Was there...
a lighthouse in the middle of a fishcamp on the headland? Did Victor roll up in a Trooper and ask you for $5? Was there a cross on the cliff for a
girl who walked off it in '87?
If so, you have discovered Punta San Jose, sometimes called Point Joe.

1/2 hour seems a little fast
for punta San Jose but?? The reason I didn't mention going there is the hour drive in from the north, the long walk to the beach and the cliff with
kids around them. You don't want to here the stories!
Sounds like you had fun, hope your sidekick/kicks did too.

No Lighthouse
It was the next camp north of Cabras... From Cabras, we drove up the access road then north on the "main" dirt road. We drove through what appeared
to be a cattle ranch - over cattle guards, through a field gated by barbed wire and down a hill to the beach.
Here's a link to some photos:

Any idea where I might have been?

Others will most likely correct me, but from the looks of the photos, you were first camped at the small bay just south of Punta Cabras, actually very
near Punta Cabras itself. Not really ever much surf there. It's kind of a dumpy litlle beach break.
However, looking northward from your first camp you would have been looking over Bahia Almejas, also incorrectly known as Punta Cabras.
Your second camp looks like it was at the north end of Bahia Almejas, and given your time frame of about a half hour from your first camp, that would
be about right. So basically, you spent the entire time in what is known as the Punta Cabras area.
That large stretch of beach that makes up Bahia Almejas has lots of good places to surf, depending on the swell direction and size. Sometimes the
north point works, sometimes the south, and sometimes near the river mouth. In any case, looks like you had a good time.
And by the way, don't feel too bad about the neighbors. Happens there ALL the time. We were the only souls there in the dead of winter on a weekday
and woke up to find someone camped spitting distance away. Go figure.
Cheers to a great trip!
