Santa Rosalillita Photos
Here are some pics I took at Santa Rosaliliita in Feb. 2007
I was told there are going to be 3 hotels around the marina. I don't know if any of the structures in these photos will be hotels
Plenty of sand. It appears they have stopped dredging for the moment. I assume they'll start again when they get some of the buildings complete.
The opening of the harbor.
Just outside of the harbor the waves have nice shape.
Another shot of the mouth.

Cardon......Those are really good pics. Thanks...... But as anyone can plainly see...... the real fun is going to start when their is big onshore
swells running, and wind driven storm surf, and back surging, and some desperate, tired out, old mariner trying to find some refuge, only to dicover
otherwise!!! Yikes!!!

Are they using the dredged sand for the concrete in the bldgs, ??? from what i understand the salt contents will cause the concrete to deteriorate
rapidly ,

jimgrms beach sand is not normally used as fine aggregate in concrete, although under some circumstances it can be used successfully. It's not the
salt that is the problem, it's the shape of the sand particles. They are too round to provide the desirable mechanical interlock in the paste that is
obtained by other types of manufactured (crushed) sand.

Access to Beach
What are the road conditions like to Santa Rosalillita from Hwy 1 and then along the beach North? Can it be done with 2WD Yukon?

Absolutely paved with stingrays and only knee-high during bomb swells.
Oh, to be GI Joe-sized.
Woody, photos and reports are a big responsibility.
Let's not inadvertantly create what we travel to escape.
Some things, once gone, just don't come back.

The road to Santa Rosalillita is paved. I only went 6 miles north of town to Alejandro's Surf Camp and that is graded-any two wheeled drive can make
it. North of Alejandro's, I don't know. My website has lots of Alejandro surf pics if you are interested-lots of Baja photos in general too.

Sorry to keep bugging you with questions but this place looks perfect for my next trip. Tell me a little about the camp. Do you need reservations?
What is there in the way of services, nothing or very basic?
Thanks

Excellent photos Cardon. I just can't imagine that this place is ever going to actually work. But then I'm not an engineer. I assume they did
actually consult engineers to design this "structure"?
Woody, are you sure you're a big boy enough to post a trip report and photos to go with it? 
I say post 'em if you got 'em!

No reservations required. They have these little open cabanas and outhouses and a cold water drip shower, no electricity. Here is the overall camp:
The little surf shacks are open on one side
And people paint pictures and poems on the inside:
During winter flys aren't a problem but they must be when it gets hot
At night mice will come out to eat the scraps gringos leave behind.
Its $5 per night, these people have been there for about one month.

Gosh, that's one fine camera you've got there, Cardon. Razor sharp pictures and great color.
Can I ask what's the model and manufacturer?

Hey, I know many here don't share my opinion (that some at-risk places deserve a bit of discretion).
Doesn't mean I'm not gonna voice it.

It's reeely, reeely, reeely windy,
nothing there grows more than a foot,
It's reeely, reeely, reeely windy,
Bring lots of firewood,
It's reeely, reeely, reeely windy,
It has to be huge for the waves to be decent,
It's reeely, reeely, reeely windy,
If all the cabanas are taken, you better have shade with sides,
It's reeely, reeely, reeely windy,
George and Sherry are cool,
It's reeely, reeely, reeely windy,
Jorge will feed you (sometimes),
It's reeely, reeely, reeely windy,
The tienda at Rosalillita is now open until 9:30 PM - WHOOHOO!!!
oh, and did I mention its reeely, reeely, reeely windy?

Entirely your right to voice your opinion. You wouldn't happen to be related to.... oh never mind.
And hey Sculpin, now what with the road paved and all, I've seen people drive their rented mo-ho's right on up to Tres Alejandro's camp. (So much for
"a bit of discretion".)
But it is a pretty cool place, and a fun break on the right conditions.
Thanks for the nice photos Cardon.

I recall one trip being "sanded in"(as opposed to snowed in). Lotta sand moving over that point!
