Off of Baja 1. Pass through Colonet and turn off just past the Rio San Telmo. Numerous dirt roads lead in, best to head south of the river though since you don't want to have to cross it. You can also go as far as Camalu and turn off then head north on the dirt road passing some other good spots. 4X4 is not necessary except if it is raining hard.
A fun and reliable right reef/point break well sheltered form the wind. Excellent camping on the bluffs overlooking the break, popular. If you are there in the winter and a NNW swell is running and not wrapping into the point check the very top where there are some excellent reef peaks on the right swell. Inside of the point is sometimes referred to as Chickens and can offer a small shapely tube when on.
Overview
Atmosphere
A great place to camp and chill out. Thieves can be a problem so if you camp try not to be too isolated, camp near some other folks. Ines owns the house there and is very friendly and charges a minimal fee for camping. Remember to pack your trash!!
Cuatros Casas
Was there 10 years or so ago with my buddy Mick Barber. I dug the fact that there was 3 waves there: 1) The inside point(chicken coops) super fun spinning little rights 2) the main point in front of the boat ramp - fun, sectiony rights 3) the tip of the point - hollow, wedge...in & out city!!! We surfed all 3 spots with only 10 other surfers camped in the area. Its kinda spooky at night though, cause you can see car lights approaching for like 45 minutes before they get there because the roads are so bad. You wonder if its bandidos??... great besides the "bandidos" fear.

Its been going on for a while now
These bandidos have been at this for some time. They call the area between Punta Colonet and just past San Quitin as the Red Triangle. Some fisherman were shot years ago just north of Colonet and dozens of car jackings towards San Q. Definitely cops though, they all have the same MO. Black Swat Gear, automatics, come on. Bastards, all of them.

Boycott Baja
Beware! Northern Baja is unsafe! Crime has escalated recently in Baja. Traveling american surfers seem to be a favorite target. Well armed, organized groups of corrupt off duty police are preying on gringos. Robberies, carjackings, kidnappings, rapes and shakedowns. Now they are expanding crime spree to american retirees, sportsfishermen and Baja 1000 enthusiasts. See links-
