Punta Baja Access
  enter el rosario, make right at the first mercado, then make left at first dirt road, go over stream,(there is a make shift bridge) then procedd west. when you reach the village keep going west untill you see a radar tower on hill, you will see a sign that says Punta Baja. make left. always keep towards the right. other wise you will end up in punta carlos. As you arrive to the beach you should be south of the point. this is perfect camp set up. on cliffs and there is a stair way down to beach.
There is a guy named carlos hernadez, he lives at the point, he loved to trade his ocean catches for your beer.he water is cold and the winds kick in pretty hard, offshore. so have warm close for night.good luck surfing...its not a bid deal but a fun deal...

Baja Expert
It is best to stay on the main highway and head South or stay at La Fonda. This stretch of coast has a tiny swell window and rarely gets good.Plus there heavy winds and the surf blows out easily. It is not worth the effort. There are way better and more consistant spots north in San Quintin. Plus once you head off of the main highway it is no mans land. Beware, it is extremely dangerous lots of baditos, cold, sharky, and bad surf everywhere.You have better luck of scoring good waves at home. There is little to no surf potential on this stretch of coastline. You may get lucky but my advice is to keep moving South or stay North.

do your research and learn the swell windows. the road to PB is not all that bad. Expect a high skunk to score ratio. Like all points, it gets good, very good, just not very often.

this spot is great for longboarding. Use the longboard to put under your tires when stuck in the mud or to ride the freezing waves. Fog blankets work great here for fresh water supply.Cuatros casas domos this poop.
