Mike:
As you are driving out to Beluga you just continue about 4 Km past the final entrance into Beluga. So, it 's between Beluga and Punta Final. The
cabins are about 50 yards off the high tide line. There is a gentleman who lives on the premises. When I was there, nobody was staying there. I could
not tell if the cabins had toilets or showers, but I did see some common showers and bathrooms for campers. Basically, it looks like competition for
Beluga. No electricity or common generator that I could see.

I asked for the rental rates ... but forgot to write it down. I'm thinking it was $30 to $40. Definitely less than Alfonsinas. No restaurant and no
common electricity that I could see. There did look like an area to launch small boats. The cabins each had a grill out in front. See post above about
the bathroom/shower situation.
As mentioned earlier, I see this as a good option if you bring all your supplies in and plan on cooking. No store as well.

how did they get them there? they ARE modular units, right? or park models - not stick built locally - must have used a semi and come in via coco's??
i'd like to stay in one after oct. and if i could land close will not be an option.

They looked to be pre-fab units (not stick built). My guess is they were either broken down into panels or brought in assembled on a flatbed (slow
going on the road).
I guess I should have asked to see the inside .... next trip (September/October) ... but I'm sure somebody else will be there before that and can
confirm the price and layout.
No airstrip ... so I guess the options would be Punta Final, Rancho Grande or Alfonsinas.

sacrificio cabins
we stayed in the "cabins" on Friday night after being blown away at Rancho Beluga ($15 per palapa, NOT per truck) on Thurs night (40+ mph and sand
EVERYWHERE...like sleeping on 80 grit)
the cabins are decent..($50 per night)2 bedrooms, 1 bath (with HOT shower,sink and toilet), clean linen and pillows were included..the area was well
lit with overhead LED lighting... one bedroom has a bunk bed, the other is a queen that can be seperated into 2 fulls) large covered patio. Eduardo
was our host, older gentleman that was very helpful...after the night at Beluga...we split the $50 x 4 and LOVED the hot shower to wash away the grit
fire pits, large covered ramada for groups..the palapas are built on rocky sand
our patio had a large patio couch/swing

Hi Preston, We are back from Punta Chivato and had a great time. Sounds like your trip was quite a blast too. It was wonderful meeting you both on
the way south and hope to get to do it again whenever the timing is right. We came back up the same way on Route 5 and ended up staying at Campo Papa
Fernandez on our way north. We had a nice breakfast north of there too at that place along the road with the red and white boat parked on top of the
whale skull. The whole trip was perfect with great weather, snorkeling and kayaking with dolphins jumping and playing around us. But we owe you a
meal next time as we realized after leaving that we had split the breakfast bill 50-50 and you guys only had one dish! Our bad but we'll plan on
making it right. Do let us know when you get down to B.C.S. and we'll try to meet up in Chivato too. -Peter

Thanks. Good to hear the details. Sounds like this is the option if you are doing your own cooking or if the wind is howling.

Peter: yes, it was great hooking up with you as well. Consider the breakfast think as a "tip" for your singing the night before. I will definitely be
doing a fall trip to Baja as well. I will target Gonzaga and BOLA (for the Dorado) ... not sure if I will target as far south as Chivato (I need to
create at least a week for that one) ... but I will try. I always check the forums before I'm making a trip or just email me at: preston (at)
