“THE BEACHES OF EASTER” - 2011
COYOTE – BURROS – COCOS – SANTISPAC camping beaches.
The following is a loose log of the Easter crowd impact on some Coyote Bay camping beaches. (little known factoid: Coyote Bay is that part
of Conception Bay starting mid-channel westward... and from Santispac to the north ... to Santa Barbara to the south.)
SEE LAST POST BY POMPANO BELOW ...ON THIS SERIES OF EASTER BEACH PHOTOS.

I can remember I and my brothers first experience of 'Easter Week' on Juncalito Beach. We in 'big' travel trailers, and campers with their tents,
tarps, cars, trucks, parked in front of us ON the beach. Music. Ton's of kids. Noise. Ton's of kids, Noise, and continual traffic of human bodies
walking into the bushes day & night for you know what.!!! It was an experience of a life time. And we melted right into it.
But. Was glad when Monday came, and they were pretty much gone from the beach. Took all of us 'campers' two days to get the beach cleaned up.

Why is it they completely trash their own beaches and just drive away? Is it because they only do it once a year? We pulled into Juncalito on the
Monday after a couple of years back after a Semana Santa and were completely blown away by the piles of trash and empty glass bottles on the beach.
The flies were loving it. How nice.

The percentage of ones worth looking at is low until Friday and Saturday. That's when the talent comes out. Right now it's just the families with the
younger kids setting up.
Well, at least that's the way it is over here, since we have proximity to some larger cities like Hermosillo, Guaymas and Ciudad Obregon. We get some
extraordinary talent.

Bump...
See the first post for latest updates of 'The Beaches of Easter',
The entire Coyote Bay area s not too crowed this year at all..and, so far, very quiet at night. Hey...I'm not complaining!
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

I can't believe how EMPTY those beaches are ... 3 years ago when we made the mistake of driving around on semana santa, you could not see the sand for
all the tents !! I was just astounded ...
this year looks pretty mild ....

Roger, thanks for the updates! Bob H
The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.

Some Easter Beach Updates
This is the pretty little ‘annex’ beach next to the Santispac Lagoon.
Note: I would not recommend the ‘hot springs’ during Eastertime….or any other time! 
.
South Coyote Beach has the Tecate balloon…plus a volleyball court. (it's been a couple years since I used to jump higher than the net...or seen
daylight under my feet..)
Bertha's Beach Club Cafe. Almost empty at the moment. Fact is, not many of the Easter crowd spend a lot of money in the beach cafes. Not so odd, as
most all campers are usually well-stocked with their own off-sale and food. My own is well-stocked with survival items.
South Coyote Beach Road gets frequent marine visits..and some traffic control thanks to the Mulege Police Dept.
Hey!..what’s that in the water??!
Damn...how the heck do you operate the ZOOM on this thing...??
AHA! Got It!
(imagine we are on a wartime submarine and we hear this sound)
Whoo-oop!-Whoo-op!-Whoo-op! BIKINI ALERT! – BIKINI ALERT!
Well Helloooo there….Yoo- hoooooooooo!!
Hey, a guy can look…right?
"Hola senorita! Listen carefully!!
Stay right where you are...you are in shark-infested waters!
I'll be right there to help you to safety...you little fox!"
This scene looks vaguely familiar??
.
The photos shown below are from Burros boat anchorage and are titled:
HOW NOT TO OPERATE A MOTORBOAT IN AN ANCHORAGE.
Are we agreed that this boat operator is an idiot? Lots of swimmers in this area, not to mention the careless close approach to boats on the hook.
Ah, well...it's Easter Madness Time, after all....
 s
On a Jeep ride to the south end, I had to stop at this famous watering hole…Mark and Olivia’s Buenaventura Café.
"Whoa! Co-pilot, QUICK!...get out there and see if his tail is wagging! Trust me, it's important!"
HAPPY EASTER MARK & SIDEKICK (hmm...is that bird's tail wagging?)
.
.
Heading south from Mark & Olivia's we come upon....
Playa Requeson…another favorite camping beach....WITH CLAMS!..and 'unique camping options'...
.
.
..and just south of Requeson is Perla and a couple nice EMPTY campsites..
Muy tranquilo..and waiting for you.
..and that's the end of this beach report...till next time, adios.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.
