San Quintin Sandy Point
Map yourself to Cielito Lindo, Baja California you will be close. From there you head west parallel to the ocean. This road goes through marshy wetlands that is not passable during tides 7’ or higher, or after heavy rain. Follow the most traveled path. Once you get near the location you will need to cross some sand. The sand is a little soft here so head for the water, it's usually firmer. This entire area is ok for sailing but the closer you get to the end of the point the less problems you will have with the surf. If you arrive at a fish camp you went too far. Four wheel drive is best but the locals make it work with anything that runs. During high tides make your way to the beach near the Hoteles Mision which is to the south and drive up the beach. Access to the beach there is sometimes blocked but there are ways to do this south of the hotel. You would want 4 wheel drive for this route. Low tides make this route easier and really enjoyable.
