It's just too beautiful to see only once. In the years that followed many other Baja aficianados followed, including Alfonsina, who established a small and rustic 5 room hotel right next to Jim's small trailer.įolks that make it to Gonzaga Bay once usually return again and again. There were no homes or development of any kind on this spectacualr beach, so in 1959 he was the first person to set up a trailer on this amazing and desolate beach. first landed his small Cessna 180 on the tidal flat behind the main beach at Gonzaga Bay, he knew he had discovered something very special. The first eight miles below Puertecitos are now paved, but that still leaves a lot of washboard dirt road to navigate from that point south. Despite the significant road grading and paving provided by the Mexican government in the 1980's, this road is still very intimidating to all but the most seasoned Baja travelers. The road south from Puertecitos has long had a reputation for being one of the worst roads in Baja. Bahia de Gonzaga is approximately 90 miles south of SAN FELIPE and about 48 tough miles south of PUERTECITOS. The fact that it is so difficult to get to has a lot to do with its slow growth. GONZAGA BAY (GPS coordinates 29'48 latitude N ~ 114'23 longitude W) is one of the most beautiful destinations in Baja.
