Roger, this is really great of you to show the beaches so well... better than any book! I suppose you are going to have the same places during Semana Santa pictured to compare?

Let's hope that some will learn the "If you bring it it... You can haul it out" way of camping and not leave trash, beer bottles and dirty diapers on the beach for others to deal with!:wow::o

Thanx for the photo. The stampede headed your way should take care of that wimpy fence and those signs will no doubt end up as firewood!

Roger, is that the top of the notch there above just south of Coyote? Have they fenced that entire arroyo off??

Last time I drove in there the iron gate they have had been forced open. Boy that project if ever completed will change the face of BOC forever.:no::no::no:

Corky,

The photo shows just part of the Sta. Barbara project property line. The main entry road is indeed privatized and remains gated. Construction is still proceeding on the development at Santa Barbara beach and has been underway for some time. I've talked to some of the builders and architects. It's a done deal.

Here's some photos showing Santa Barbara Cove location and a couple others taken in 1973 and 2007. It didn't change much in all that time.

Now?....Break out the golf clubs!

Thanks for photos. Those beaches are among my favorite places eventhough they are where I learned about sting rays, I've had 2 lessons. Nothing serious, except the pain.

I'm looking forward to the photos of the crowds.

This guy was about a foot off the beach in a few inches of water.

One beach near Conception Bay that will NOT be crowded at Easter.


You might try this one.

Punta Terasa beach. Has excellent diving, fishing, beachcombing..and total privacy.

Only thing is..it's a long hard drive by 4x4 or about 35 miles by boat from Mulege.

Bring your pets!
