MALARRIMO (but you were close!)
Graham Mackintosh (who is Baja Nomad 'Graham')
He talks about Malarrimo in his first book (he has 4 Baja adventure books now):

I did do some beach combing while visiting the area, hoping to catch some of the Japanese earthquake crap.
But none of it got there yet.
But it was till a great day to wander the beach.
We did fins one other treasures worth keeping.
Perhaps later this year some of the quake flotsam will start arriving.

When we were there, it was very breezy with sand dunes (created by wind, duh!). Also, as you drive east on the beach, it gets softer the closer you
get to the lagoons - keep your distance in a vehicle. There was mostly Styrofoam and plastic on the beach, but we found some cool fishing floats too.

Driving on the beach east from the road is iffy as dry sand blows over wet-quick sand in front of arroyo mouths. Neal Johns has a story for you on
this!

Malarrimo in the 60's and 70's
Mike McMahan had lots of fun out there...


Just be careful if you use a shovel!...

If a Mackintosh already went through the booty, can you expect there to be anything remaining? Just a rhetorical question.
