Puerto Nuevo (Vizcaino peninsula)
Has anyone driven to this Puerto Nuevo recently? It's a turnoff from the road to Bahia Tortugas, 9 mi. I have some notes about some eco-cabanas in
the mountains; likely find a beachside camping spot and explore the coast - shore fishing, fossils? Worth the drive? Road OK for a Honda CRV?

It really is worth the drive of just a handful of miles from the Vizcaino-Tortugas road.
The cabins are very primitive, but extremely clean. The view from the cliff is to die for!
There are two signs for the Puerto Nuevo camp on the main road. They are in color and easily seen.
The fishing is outstanding there, and you are welcome to bring a kayak.

You need to call in advance if you want to stay at Rancho Tangiolote. We stayed there some years back and loved it. I have the number but I think at
our casita in Baja.
As for beachside camping, talk with the local vigilantes and let them know you plan on camping. There is an easy access to Tordilla via a well used
arroyo. This beach is a long, beautiful sandy beach....one of our favorites.

We have stayed with Marcos a number of times and the last time, the pool was not is such good shape ... which is not an issue now since the weather is
too cool for swimming anyways.
He was brother in law to one of our bestest friends who has since passed away. Mario once insisted on giving Rex his own cabin when we took him LOL
He said the coyotes might come for him.
In the summer, sitting in the pool in the evenings with a glass of wine was incredible. We took meat to exchange for lobsters ... heaven!
I did many a report on the area but since the photos are not available any more due to the photo bucket change, they ain't gonna help here.
FOUND THE CONTACT # Puerto Nuevo, BCS = 615 158-0262 for reservations

Don't know about your timing but may want to hold off a bit if you're thinking of visiting soon... the wind the past week on the peninsula has been
FIERCE. It's 9:30am and it's already howling in Asuncion.
It's forecast to continue for the next week at minimum.
On the other hand, chartering a panga to retrieve your windblown tent, kayak, cooler, dog, etc. from a couple miles offshore would make a good Baja
story...

Coming down mid-March. Yes, I'll have to consider each day according to weather as always. If it's blowing, tie the tent to the car and hunker down
with a paperback (not a Kindle!!). Ha!

coming back from punta eugenia there's an upper road that follows the rugged coast ending at a building made out of pallets, signaling a straight down
cliff that appears to be about a mile down. couple of beaches accessible for camping along this road and just full of hungry flatfish.
