Cave Beach Outing
There has been talk of a small beach called “Cave Beach” that was not the easiest place to reach. It was said that a four wheel drive vehicle was advised. Apparently the land owner who owns the land that you need to ultimately cross to reach this beach does not charge “Gringos” to go to this secluded beach, but it is said that he does charge any Mexicans that wish to visit it.
It was approximately a 5 minute ride to the road that turned off the main hiway but it was a very bumpy 30 minute ride from the hiway to the beach, and yes, I am glad we had our four wheel drive jeep. In a few words, it was a goat trail with big rocks here and there. The jeep did great.
As has become customary here in the park a group is usually assembled by who ever is organizing the outing and everyone piles in to the vehicles and away we go. On this outing there were five vehicles and a great group of people interested in an adventure.
What a beautiful secluded beach we were privileged to visit. The beach itself was about the length of a footfall field and was formed at the back of a small cove. Along the walls of the cove leading toward the beach were a series of caves that one could reach by swimming if the waves entering the cove were not to big. Several in our party had snorkel equipment and those of us who didn’t got an opportunity to try our hand at it. I borrowed Ken’s equipment and must say I will be going in to town soon to get my own. There were not a lot of fish but there were enough to hold your interest and the color of them as they scooted about was incredible.
We all enjoyed a great afternoon exploring a new beach, the conversation that went with relaxing in the sun, and the chance to meet a few new people from different areas of our La Penita RV Park.
