Technically all of the beaches in Mexico are public and free to camp, but in some places you can be charged for services, such as trash removal, use of palapas, or showers.  Apparently second point is one of these, but big on the charge part and lacking on the services provided.  So we decided to move down the beach to first point, where the town provides trash removal, toilets, and palapas for free.  Another absolutely beautiful spot in Baja.  Have I said Baja is amazing?!  

 

 

It is early in the year to be at Scorpions Bay.  It takes good south swells to get the wave working, south swells are not normally consistent until at least March, continuing throughout the summer.  But there is a small south on the way, fingers crossed it will be rideable.  The beach is super mellow this time of year and the line up will not be crowded.

 

We had the entertainment of the local fisherman driving by us each day to launch their pangas in the morning, returning them each evening.  Every single truck that drove by would speed up to hit the berm directly in front of our camp spot.  We could see them cheesing through the windshield as they mashed the gas, their trucks roaring even faster towards us.  Most of the trucks’ cabs and beds were full of people, catching a little air, they would all smile and wave as they sped by.  Extremely entertaining for us, they also kept us on our toes, ensuring Rasta and Rose were nowhere near the berm!  

 

Manana rolled around and we had surf.  Yes!  The point breaks of Baja will certainly spoil you!  Run down the beach to the point and hop into the line up.  No twenty minute paddle out required.  Chest high, two people in the water, and glassy.  Oh man, what a day!  100 yard long rides, this east coast boy was in heaven!  Surfing here was a blast, we had an epic few days playing in the water.
