MMc I could show you some pics of a spot in the hood that would blow your mind!

We used to call that spot rincon de baja back in the late 60s early 70s. 4 casas was the home base back then. They are both week surf spots at best.
Great for canadian starters.

Surfed there many times. But i didnt know the Casa Del Hogar was there, must have passed the casa a hundred times. I will stop in next time
FYI.. Rick and Maria at the old B&B (drive down to water and go left for a few houses) serve a good breakfast on weekend mornings... The proceeds
from the breakfast go to feed and care for abandoned dogs in the area... Look for the kenals as you get close.

Boy, do they have a lot of dogs to care for! And yes Rick cooks a good breakfast and Penny who discovered the Casa Del Hogar lives next door to Rick
and Maria!
Ken --- I like the pictures, especially the first one of the shipwreck. It is an interesting area.

Diane,
Do you know the story of the fenced in row of houses just SE of the shipwreck? They were all but deserted.

Looked a bit strange, no sign of any activity with only one car, for over 20+- houses. Maybe that explains the chain linked fenced enclosure.

It's a testament to how weak and mushy the surf is there...

Woody, I know the area well. I'll pass on both 4 casas and Shipwrecks for a spot close by or to the south depending on the swell.

To help you and others to see that I do not take credit for other people's photos... THIS is what I posted with the black and white photo, that Carlos
copied from my earlier reply and incorrectly said was by me:
From the Baja Adventure Book (page 120) 1998 edition:
KM 150: Sedan road west (signed) to Punta San Jacinto, 6 miles. The wreck of a coastal freighter Isla del Carmen, driven ashore in 1981, lives near
the point. Known as "Freighters" to surfers, even thouigh there is only one, this place has excellent right point breaks on large swells, some a mile
from shore. The road south to Camalú can handle sedans.

and since the dust is settling, and we like to clear the air at once, there has NEVER been a surfer who referred to that Blue Moon surf spot as
"Freighters".
Blue Moon = it only gets good once in a blue moon, FWIW!
