San Juanico - Scorpion Bay
There is a nice new motel at San Juanico/Scorpion Bay. “Hotel 7 Puntas” occupies the 2nd floor of “Abarrotes Lupita”, on the main divided street
near the SW end of the pavement. Clean, Spartan rooms with shower, sink and toilet cost 500 pesos double, 300 pesos single. The store downstairs
has a large selection of food and drink, and the owners are very friendly.

I did not check it out since I don't fly any more, but there used to be a nice, long one about 1/2 kmNW of town. Try the Baja Bush Pilot forum.

Rooms are Nice and clean...
Carlos Fiesta does a "site inspection" of the new hotel. The two front rooms have a great view of First Point.

Use google earth and type in San Juanico, Baja California Sur, Mx it should take you there.
Since you're female (right?) note that its famous for having tons of loner LA surfer guys and about 3 popular girls.
While I am at it... Rumor: Heli1 just landed nearby from DC to visit Loreto and San Jaunico today! They are probably at the internet cafe on the point
now.
... I digress. Anyway you see the lot is empty in the photo above, a lot that has been sold many times over???? Still empty. Crazy San Juanico.

Hotel Punta 7
In the above photo, it is located on the lower left and is the two story building/Orange color on top. Corner of the paved street and dirt street.
Internet Cafe is across the street, same side. And yes, the empty lot has many years of history and claims against for payment or title for
sure...that is why this great piece of property is still not developed. It use to be the old Fish processing plant in the late fifties and sixties.

Way before Punta 7...
A lot has changed in S.J. over the last 30 years! Photo taken in the late seventies and is from the collection of Jamie Adkins/pilot who took the
photo. Thought you'd like to see the changes.

Do you have any more aerials of the area? That would help me plan for a flight and landing!

makana check south of abreojos and north of mag bay(bahia de magdelena. its right in the middle. definitely still a cool place to chill out for
a bit . but the above quote is right about the man/woman ratio... but then it seems as if most of baja subscribes to that feel. excepting cabo and
rosarito of course...lol
glad they got the hotel up and running...
surf first everything a come after!!

Nice data... by-the-way... to get the degree symbol, hold down the Alt key and press 0186 = º or 26º24'N, 111º28'W

When I was in San Juanico in February 2010, a two stall horse racing starter gate was occupying the "runway".
In 2008, there was a nice wind-sock at Cadeje.
