Mulege & Bahia Conception Beach Motels
Hi and thanks in advance,
We are coming over from San Carlos, Sonora by boat (33' fishing boat) to the Mulege and Bahia Conception area on Oct 28th - 30th. Even though we've
been at SC for many years, we've never seen your part of the Sea of Cortez.
We can sleep on our boat, but prefer to have a room on shore if possible.
Any recommendations on:
? A motel on a beach, that we can keep the boat in close view?
? A marina that we could rent a slip and then stay most anywhere?
? If we can?t get a slip, is there a ponga service for going ashore?
? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Chuck
?Nauti Dog?

Add'l notes...
The only 'slips' in the area are up at Santa Rosalia, inside the breakwater. You are within walking distance of several places to room if you wish,
shopping and restaurants nearby, but not much 'atmosphere' there in the breakwater...
South at Bahia Concepci?n, most of the 'beach' communities have shallows that prohibit you from anchoring in too close. We have a Palapa at Playa los
Naranjos, the link mentioned above. The water is only 4-5 feet or so out about 100-150 yards, so it's pretty much for small boats with little draft.
If you draw 5-6 feet, you can probably make it onto the 'shelf' if you eyeball the sounder - it's all sandy bottom there. They have bungalows for
rent that have beds, showers, baths, and lights, or plain Palapas on the beach itself with showers and flush toilets behind. Naranjos is on the
RIGHT, the first 'populated' beach, as you enter the Bahia - most vessels with larger drafts usually stay way out, close to the western shore of the
Bahia.
Have a fun trip...we did that trip on the ferry, a few years ago with our VW van...saw 1000's of dolphins!
According to my clock...anytime is \'BAJA TIME\' & as Jimmy Buffett says,
\"It doesn\'t use numbers or moving hands It always just says now...\"

I meter 12 feet at Naranjos...it's a sand bar...no rocks to speak of
We anchored in our 23 footer for a month a couple of years ago.
No problems
We used our dingy to go to shore and back to ise the showers and bathrooms each day.

Here is a great place. Ambience unlimited! Deep water in front, with panga transportation to shore.
Offered by Jerry and Eileen Evanshen, and Eileen will dazzle you with her cookery skills. Really a great cook.
Accomodations to equal the very best found in Baja

Enjoy!!

Great places! I think this is going to be a great trip. How about the the place that roast a pig every Saturday, i forgot the name, but should I plan
on hitting that while we're there?

As David mentioned,
it's the Serenidad, but there is no suitable anchorage immediately adjacent.
Hey, if money is no object, there is the hotel out at Punta Chivato. Good anchorage and easy dinghy access. Possibly the closest option for you from
San Carlos. They may even have moorings available.
http://www.posadadelasflores.com/
Give us a report if you choose this hotel. We have all heard conflicting reports about the level of service, food, etc.
Also might try renting a place from an owner at Santispac. Excellent all-weather anchorage.

Hook: what is the travel time from Coyote Bay to the center of Mulege and what's the best method.
Any listing of houses for rent.

Do you mean by water or land, JZ?
By water, maybe 20-25 minutes, at panga speed under good conditions. About the same by taxi. You DO mean Coyote and not Santispac, correct?
Sorry, I have no listing. I was "beating the bushes" with a theoretical suggestion and am hoping someone might know someone who might know
someone..........and then post it here.
Someone at Ana's or Ray's or possibly a homeowner in Posada Concepcion might know how to accomplish this. Posada occasionally has rentals, too, but
the tidal flat there is more problematic.
Casa de los Suenos sure looks nice. From the photos, it could be Santispac but the website doesn't make it apparent.

Sorry about the lack of clarity on Casa De Los Suenos.
If traveling south it sits about 1 mile south of Santispac on the hill immediately before dropping down to Posada. There is a small sign on the
seaward side of Mex 1 and a small parking area down the hill.
Jerry and Eileen are normally available on the internet, but their computer took it upon itself to crap out.
I can contact them if you have further questions.
And, Hook, you are absolutely right, it is a fabulous place. Nice deep water within 15 meters of shore, a small (very small) pier, sandy beach,
kayaks for rent, and a small very hot water spring right at waters edge.
Those are the physical things, the beauty of the place is enhanced by the host and hostess. Eileen Evanshen is truly a gourmet cook! And there are
normally all the services normally found elsewhere, including 24 hour internet service via DirecWay, CrystalVoice phone service, and all else normally
associated with the internet. (When the computer is back in service, soon they hope!).
Enjoy
OK, their phone just went back into service, sunspots or somesuch. They can be reached at 011-52-615-155-4087.
A Mexican Cellular, so be patient!!

Well, Los frailes.....
....with their internet down, we really cant partake of their offer of a price schedule by emailing them.
What are we talking per person/per night? A range is just fine.

"That is the Hotel Serenidad run by Don Johnson!"
Is that THE Don Johnson of Miami Vice and Nash Bridges?

Actually, Don & Nancy Johnson of the Serinadad could hire the actor, Don Johnson, to work for them at their hotel in Mulege. The actor just lost
his job in his new TV series, 'The Legals'...which bombed and was canceled in record time.

I don't have the right to quote a price for them. However, there is now a telephone number where they can be called.
Best I can do!
