school on the left hand side. There's a small restaurant run by some expats by the turn off. If someone knows the name then that'd be great.

Sounds like El Faro beach. Restraunt would be Las Parillas

Bob,
Not El Faro Beach but very close. When you see the entrance to El Faro, turn right, continue past a school on the left. Once past the school, turn
left and continue into the camp and houses. There are two camps with two entrances side by side. The one to the right is where Ben Hunter, Los Angles
TV fame, built his house in the early 70's!
The camp in question has nice trailer spaces and houses for rent. I friend of mine recently rented a house on the beach for a very reasonable monthly
fee.

Well....lessee. What's out there. Mona Lisa, El Faro and, is it Corona Beach? Don't recall.
Anyway, the small community that Ben Hunter and his wife, Margie, bought in is Nueva Espaņa.
His book, "The Baja Feeling" is one of my favorite reads and I'm going to do it again. It was written in 1978, not too long after "God And Mr.
Gomez," and was part of the start of my Baja Library. I recommend the book to anyone who wonders how things worked around here 35 years back.
The Ben Hunter Matinee on TV was fun to watch....a movie with breaks in the middle for interviews etc., and Ben never failed to entertain.
You see.....Ben loved his sauce, and he would have generous amounts of it throughout the day and would be in the bag on his shows half of the time.
He wore a bad hair-piece and on occasion would unknowingly have it on sideways or c-cked to the side like a John Wayne hat, but the show went on.
Thems was the days.

If they were coming from somewhere West of New South Wales Australia perhaps. The photographic evidence seems pretty compelling, for the biggest
blowhole.
Upon further review, Kiama ain't what she used to be.
I defer to he whose handle is the sound of this highjack.
That would put Dennis in third....
