Punta Marquez and Punta Conejo are also good camping spots. The should be surfers hanging out this time of year too which makes for good entertainment. And the road to Conquista Agraria is completely paved now

also, does anyone know if there is any beach camping at Puerto Escondido just south of loreto?


A few miles past Puerto Esondido (and before the highway begins the climb up the sierra) is PLAYA LIGUI, about a mile from the highway... just past the site of California's THIRD Spanish mission founded in 1705 (a cross marks the area near where the mission was before flash floods took away the foundations in 2001).









Photos taken July, 2012.

Bonus... a page from our book, The Old Missions of Baja & Alta California:

camping


south of nopolio and north of preuto Escondido is a great place to camp called "juancalito" just left at the beginning of the straight away..mostly free and safe with a nice view and swimming beach... a Baja fav .....K&T........PS there is no camping at Escondido..its a harbor !! just slightly south is rattle snake beach if you can find it..the ligui, which is very hard to find a camping spot...unless "john" chimes in withh his awesome pad in the "saddle"....K&T

Capt kw What was that last bit? it is hard to find the beach or it is hard to find a camping spot because it is frequently crowded? Thanks to everyone for all the great info, leaving the day after Christmas and hoping to take a few weeks around the southern section.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone!

As captkw says Tecolote is a great camping beach and even has a couple beach bars in case you don't feel like cooking some nights. It is typically uncrowded with the exception of Semana Santos when they pack in three deep down the whole beach. Also very easy (and reasonable) to arrange for trips to the island. Just be aware that during the winter and spring you will be completely exposed when the north winds blow.

If the north winds are blowing, try Bahia de los Muertos.

About 30 miles from La Paz on Mex hwy 286.

There are so many various ways Nomads spell places here, too! :light:

If using the Baja California Almanac or AAA map, you will find the mentioned places spelled this way:

NOPOLO
JUNCALITO
PUERTO ESCONDIDO
EL TECOLOTE
CORAL DE LOS FRAILES
CABO FRAILES

Merry Christmas from the Baja Place Name Spell Checker!:cool:
