San Juanico Well known to surfers for years, San Juanico boasts one of the most beautiful beaches in Baja Sur, running about eight miles south of the town whose name it shares. Most of it is along high sand bluffs and is drivable only at low tide.
Fishing is good for halibut, grouper, pargo, snook, sierra, corvina, and corbina.
You may be able to camp at Scorpion Ranch Preserve at San Juanico, although we have not been able to confirm that it is currently in operation. From Ciudad Insurgentes drive about 60 miles north on the paved road ending near La Purisima and continue on the washboard dirt road to San Juanico. People with large motor homes and trailers will have to decide how much shake, rattle, and roll they can handle. You can also come south from San Ignacio on an even worse road, which is suitable only for pickups, vans, and four-wheel drives. Bah a Magdalena Shellfish are abundant everywhere along these beaches, and fishing is good for grouper, corvina, bass, snapper, halibut, mackerel, and pompano.
