285-Slip Cabo Riviera Marina Under Way in La Ribera
http://www.thelog.com/news/logNewsArticle.aspx?x=11224
By: Capt. Pat Rains
August 18, 2010
EAST CAPE, Baja California Sur, Mexico -- Southern Baja California Sur looks like it will soon have another new marina to ease the slip shortage. Cabo
Riviera is a 900-acre residential village development at the East Cape fishing town of La Ribera.
Boat owners will be glad to see that Cabo Riviera is dredging deep-water channels to form 11 elongated islands with about 100 homesites, and each
island homeowner will have alongside berthing for his or her own yacht.
Combined with a separate guest marina, the new resort plans to provide 285 full-service slips, a drydock, concierge fueling capability and a dry stack
storage area, according to Cabo Riviera sales associate Nydia Altamirano.
The stubs of twin breakwaters are already built on Cabo Riviera’s 2 miles of sandy beachfront, but like the construction of Marina Puerto Los Cabos
down the coast, a land plug will remain in place to keep the sea out until after the marina’s interior channels are dredged and built out.
By creating the channels, “Our 2 miles of beachfront becomes 10 miles of waterfront,” said Cabo Riviera CEO Mariano Mariscal, who has been involved
with the property since 2005.
The private development will also have an 18-hole Pete Dye championship golf course, a boutique hotel, a health spa, tennis courts and an artists’
village designed with classical European-style architecture, according to the website:
http://www.caboriviera.com.mx
This East Cape location is a natural for sport anglers and Baja California nature lovers, because it’s on the south side of Bahia Las Palmas and at
the head of the Santiago and Trinidad underwater canyons. The broad shelf just outside La Ribera is known for roosterfish.
East Cape has long been a popular destination for sportfishing and RV camping. Up in the nearby Laguna Mountains, several quaint 1900s silver mining
towns have been renovated. Their brick buildings have been turned into shops, restaurants, and bed and breakfast inns.
Cabo Riviera lies 60 nautical miles up the coast from Cabo San Lucas, 45 miles from Marina Puerto Los Cabos, 16 miles northwest of Cabo Pulmo National
Marine Park, 25 miles southeast of Muertos Bay and 75 miles southeast of La Paz Harbor.
Last month, Grumar, the developing company of Cabo Riviera, donated state-of-the-art medical equipment and inaugurated a new hospital in La Ribera.

It should be completed in the fall of 2029, so get your deposits in for ocean front lots.

All you Nomad yachties are going to be very sorry you didn't get in on this when the prices were rediculously low for seed money and founders. When
the lots are ready the recession will be ancient history, you'll all be wealthy from stock gains when things come roaring back. Mark my words.

It may be built but the time frame promised by those selling the lots may exceed some of the purchasers life spans. Sounds like the Maravia
development in La Paz promising two golf courses and all those homes yet they only have maybe eight model homes and no golf course. Maybe twenty years
out.

Looks like they are simply pushing dirt around for the most part.

That was true in the twentieth century. Not any more.

Why this hostility toward yachties? They don't have the right to a facility built for their needs?

i applaud his success and the means to have STUFF!
we're here for a good time, not a long time.
make your way or get out of the way of others.
i love capitalism...it follows all the Darwinian precepts....the fittest and all that.

"Why this hostility toward yachties?"
Not hostile toward yachties at all. Did you miss this:
"The private development will also have an 18-hole Pete Dye championship golf course, a boutique hotel, a health spa, tennis courts and an artists’
village designed with classical European-style architecture, ..."
Don't need more drain on the water resources; don't need another golf course; don't need tennis courts in 110 degree heat; don't need effing european
architecture to eff up this unique ecologicaly sensitive environment.
I am not a have-not - so absurd. Class war? How immature. I was a secretary to a state assemblyman and fed. court judge; partied with my boss who
was on the cover of Forbes, friends with a war hero whose story was covered in a magazine, spent 2 weeks in Hawaii in May in $400/nt. condo and dined
with the owner of an upscale restaurant, etc., etc. and plenty of etc. I don't give a RtsAs about someone owning a yacht and everything it entails.
I get the same thing with my kayak, tent, and the same sunset they get. I live in a resort town, own properties with swimming pools, have a golf
course 3 blocks from my house, beaches, etc.
Baja CA simply does not need more pollution of all types which will absolutely be the case with any marina, golf course and development, to despoil
its uniquely special places, as well as more pressure on marine life - which has always been my stance on the matter, and to defend the defenseless
with no voice. Don't call me names again, Mike - maybe just look in the mirror and ask yourself the same questions - maybe you're dazzled by the
perceived "haves" and feel left out.

In other news, apparently Green Peace is getting involved...so get stocked up on the beer and nachos for the lib/con dino stomp showdown.
When the way comes to an end, then change. Having changed, you pass through.

Not to swerve the post more but I live here and I can tell you with good authority that the jefe of the Cabo Cortez project (re Cabo Pulmo) told a lot
of local power dudes "President Calderon wants the Cabo Cortez project to be a success and it will happen, with or without you."
On Cabo Riviera, don't take your eye off the ball. The owners are land developers -- they HOPE to sell land to golf course people, they HOPE to sell
land to condo people, they HOPE to sell land to hotel people, marina people, people who might build a home. Don't confuse these people with Loreta Bay
-- they just sell a dream and the dream is dirt close to a pretty beach. In this case, my beach.
