Beach at Loreto | Informal Campsite

March 1st, 2023 by pampas.overland

We came here after checking the 3 main RV places in town. All of them were sardine can packed, and all of them looked like a typical snowbird RV crowd. At least 2 out of the 3 were quite complicated to get to, small roads and incredibly wrong Google Maps directions. Currently, where Google Maps tells you to go to cross the riverbed between Downtown Loreto and Zaragoza (South, East of the airport) is blocked (road Fco. Madero). You need to approach just one road to the East (Nicolas Bravo), go to the riverbed, and drive on road "Baja California" until the crossing, one block West. Traffic pattern should be obvious. Road quality is construction grade, and some of the approaches are steep, be mindful if driving an RV.

The view here is very nice. It's a local hangout, so expect traffic, music, drinking, etc. But at least on a Wednesday night it was minimal. It seems to also get more movement as you approach the tip of the area and the water. Safety-wise it was fine, just be mindful that is an easy place to access for everyone. We saw police patrolling at night, and one of them stopped for a bit to check out our Jeep. I'll leave it up to the reader to decide if this should feel safer or not. There was only one other traveller parked here, an amazing small family on a converted small bus. By the time we arrived they had already spent 3 days on site and said they had experienced no problems. They only mentioned loud music and partying, which is normal. There are trash cans and no other services. Be careful with broken bottles around if you have a pet (or walk barefoot).

Cell phone reception was 5 bars, just typical high ping data. Good for messaging, browsing and other async comms. Not as good for Zoom, or other video conferencing. Plenty of open sky for Starlink. Typical Starlink quality of service without obstructions, so no problems on that front. Also plenty of South exposure for solar panels.

Tried to stay here last night. After giving 70 pesos to a local who claimed he cleaned up the beach, a friendly police officer told me you could only be on the beach from 6am-6pm, no camping. he told me I could park on the street in town, which I did with no problem.

La calle que da acceso a la playa es tranquila para dormir una noche, justo enfrente de la cancha. La zona residencial es buena y segura. Llegamos tras movernos del otro lado del río debido al ruido de los jovenes con sus coches y música a todo volumen.

We slept on the street that access the beach as it was too dark when we got here and the access to the beach was not very good. We saw another van camping there at the beginning of the beach. However, there were a few cars with loud music. It got less noisy around 11.30pm.
In the morning we noticed that there was actually way more room than what we saw during the night.
Street was also good, felt safe and quiet.
