so, maybe they meant the rocky beach at the bottom of Caņada El Fraile (it's close by) |
Well Harald, since you are a bit closer than me, I hope to see photos soon!

not my kind of beach/camping spot - it is very rocky. But there are always some Gringos camped there. Glad, they don't like "my" beaches.
May have to do with the fact that i like fine, soft sand. Most don't know how to get there. So, it's the rocky beaches for them.

AKgringo, you are correct on the location of Portuguese. It is north of Coyote at the bottom of the first steep hill with switchbacks clinging to the
edge of the sea. If you've driven the road, you know the hill well. It is easy going compared to the next two hills you have to cross.
Lots of sandy beaches here and there between San Juan de la Costa and Portuguese and there are several when you get north of Mechudo before Evaristo.
The only really rocky beach where people camp is just north of the first steep hill I mention above.

Harald, like you I find pure sand the greatest place to camp be it a beach or an arroyo.

Much of that area is composed of layers or pastel green, red, and grey soft stone. I found one narrow beach, less than a half mile off the road, that
was pink sand at the base of a multicolored, layered bluff with a sea floor of green bed rock.
At low tide, it looked like something out of a Star Trek set! A neat camp spot, but no place to be in a storm!
I did quite a few day trips, and a couple of overnighters in that area while I was staying near La Paz. The arroyos leading to the sea, or away from
it provide some great sightsseeing.
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!
