Overall, it's a fun place to spend your weekend. On the downside, it gets crowded these days. If it was uncrowded, I wouldn't post this info here.

george is fine... - I spent a week with my wife and 17 month old kid at punta cabras..deadly spot. Great wave, nice local people and awesome muscles on the rocks. Anyhow this George guy is harmless. He hiked 1km home to grab a rake to rake away glass around our van so our kid didn't get cut. We bought firewood off him once and he kept us stocked the whole time...only charged us the once. He picks up all the garbage left behind by gringos and loads it all into a wheel barrel and takes it to his place to burn it. He took us to his casa over the hill and my wife took some cool shots of the property...Anyhow I'm sure the guy has a story,but he's sixty years old and is a spry old bugger. He played with my kid and was polite and nice, I wouldn't worry about him at all, plus he hates develoment. That pedro guy is all anout seeing the place turn into a tourist mecca..

Gorge again - Me and my bro were talking last week about all the theft in baja norte recently and the killings and rapes. We started talking about punta cabras and he mentioned a guy named George. I said, "hey I heard about him, was he cool to you"? He said pretty much, "yes, I gave him some money for fire wood and we took a long drive at night, then we had to walk a way up a hill to a dark house, and I was scared. There was no one with me and I thought this guy might jump me. But we get to the house. Get some perfect fire wood and he helps me bring it to my camp, all for a beer. He ended up being cool and my friend has seen him about 6 times since, with no problems.
