If you're talking about the white zig zag at Punta China, that's the existing limestone quarry and the road to the point, where they load the stuff on a barge and tug it up to Cemex in Ensenada.

Nothing's being built north of there at this time, although someone with a big Caterpillar cut a swath across the top of the dunes at the south end of the La Bocana beach a couple of years ago. Ruined the dunes, and apparently for no reason, since the road they cut is about two hundred yards long and goes nowhere.

Rumor was that they were going to stop barging the limestone out of the quarry and truck it all out instead, so they were planning a much smoother and wider road out from the highway that could handle semis with double trailers (there are a couple of spots on the existing road where I just can't imagine that happening, but I'm no engineer). Apparently, the local fishing co-op was objecting that the limestone blowing off the barges was damaging the Santo Tomas fishery. Nothing ever came of it. They've got something else to worry about now, though -- a plan to put a major LNG port at Puerto Santo Tomas.
