This little enclave is off the main road by 40 minutes on a dirt and gravel road. Cattle, cliffs, bumps, and weather require keen attention while driving.
Hills on both sides hide the golden view at the coast, called La Boca.

I have tent camped many times here. There is also a set of houses that can be rented.

sea water washes


Bahia de las Animas, Baja California, Mexico.
This excessively remote bay was difficult to get to.
Adding to the remoteness is the 113°f desert and a bad choice of going off the trail. But i made it to this amazing white sand beaches.

Some of the paths were washed out by salt water tides. Another "not so great" decision was to drive through a number of them. The brake warning light is still on in my jeep. All the other lights turned off eventually. After the adventuring, i had to go back through them all.

The "road" headed south-west was so much NOT a road that i thought i was lost. Road was a set of ruts winding through the desert. Sun going down, and half a tank of gas...
