Pacific Side Alfonsina's??


Does anyone know of a beachfront hideaway south of Ensenada maybe as far down as Colonet? In the past 15 yrs, Alfonsina's has become a little too "touristy". We'll be making a swing thru the North and likely will hit Meling's but are looking for a nice spot with a half decent bed on the Pacific side. Any ideas? Thanks.

Baja Malibu Sur RV Park, a few miles south of Ejido Erendira, or Coyote Cal's Hostel, north of Erendira (past Castro's Camp & Motel)... for starters...

Thanks David! I've heard of Coyote Cal's. Is there food avai;ible out there? Any way to make contact beforehand, or just show up? I haven't been back to Baja in about a year. Have the roadblocks increased in number or remained about the same. They didn't seem to be an issue last time out; maybe I'm just getting used to them or maybe we've been far enough off the beaten track that they don't bother.

Coyote Cals?


Hey 'neilm'-I found that site on 'google' and it scares me. 'Way too touchy feely/touristy for these old dogs. The penthouse looks nice enough; but if it's full of college kids singing around the campfire and blasting the 'booming' sound system.......Old ex-pats and drunken fishermen are more our style. Thanks for the tip though. There must be some more 'traditional' digs on that side?

You might try Castro's camp; just prior to Cal's.

Yes, it is a hostel used by those Europeans (and others) on a budget... Free beans and pancakes, I believe!

The RV Park south of Erendira is a small place, but no rooms when I was there a few years ago... Try BajaCat's suggestion or go to Camalu... a new motel on the coast in that area I have seen the signs... Then our old favorite of Cielito Lindo at Km. 11 south of San Quintin... Rooms, bar, restautant...

What about La Cueva del Pirata Hotel in Camalu. It's on the coast and has a restaurant.

Thanks for the feedback guys! I'll try to check out Camalu for something new. We may well just press on to San Quintin; but thought I'd scout out some options. More suggestions are welcomed.
