Take a trip by 4wd through the desert to Bahia Tortugas then Punta Eugenia, and then take a boat for 20.00 dlls to the island. Ask for this guy Chatanuga ! He’ll take care of you .Take with you dippers and peanut butter! They love it! Toys for children too, and you will be a king there.
the shark comments are a bit overwruaght, but...
nice wave but this place is physically brutal (wind/sun/extreme temps and an insidious kind of superfine "moondust") and will take it out of you whether you come by plane or car. I don't know about peeps being airlifted after shark bites (like the Mexican coast guard would waste its $$ on some pinche gringo surfer!), but I have seen some heavy military activity out there. Saw a navy helicopter land in bahia tortugas and hand some dudes off to the federales while I was having lunch. I had a destroyer shine its spotlight on my camp out by punta eugenia after midnight. so not a place for folks looking to chill. Done right this is an expensive and long trip that requires serious preparation. a very fickle region in general surf-wise. even offshore spots are too exposed if wind is above 25 kts, which is pretty much every afternoon. Little protection to speak of.

fly, don't drive
The safest, fastest, easiest way to Natividad is to fly...4 hours total time to the island from San Diego, and land just steps to the Doors!

pretty fun waves, not really worth the drive though. almost died twice from cracked out semi truck drivers. the camping there is hell, the only thing there is are lots of seaguls and trash.we spoke to the fishermen, they said that they see white sharks out there all the time
