There is a great hike around to another cove. Amazing views, easy to medium if you are good with a few inclines.

Punta Lobos, is quiet, secluded and perfect for a romantic hideway. The beach is more often than not unswimmable, but if you are familiar with this area you know these are surf towns and the beach is for relaxation. I've included a picture from above. It's a perfect place to see a completely unobstructed sunset. Bring a blanket a couple of flutes and a bottle of champagne and enjoy the sun sinking into the Pacific.

This small bay is a fascinating watch at how the fishermen launch and return their panga boats. They'll tow each other out to get beyond the waves and currents, and definitely don't miss their return! The boats accelerate onto the shore to climb the sandy drop where they are then towed to another spot making room for the next boat to make its dramatic escape from the ocean. You can sometimes buy fish directly.

I was hoping to see the pangas come in but I was much too late. Everyone was leaving so I had the beach to myself, just me and a ton of birds. The surf seemed pretty rough but it was beautiful to look at. I followed the signs for the hotel and kept going down the dirt road.

I visited Punta Lobos beach and watched the ingenious method the fisherman use for launching the pangas I was amazed but later all was soured when the fisherman returned with their bounty of dead sharks. I watched about 10 pangas remove over 50 sharks, 2-7 feet, and then fin, and sloppy try to conceal to the far side of the bay in the back of a pick up truck. Both shark fishing and finning are illegal.

Another out of the way beach. The beach is just beautiful. Beautiful waves for surfing. The sand is beautiful.

We did a steep initial ascent for some great views then continued near the ridge for awhile through desert brush before descending on to nearly a private beach. Beautiful waves for body boarding, wild (?) horses, wide open sand.

This was a nice beach but not easy to find. Didn’t have time to swim although there were a few people out snorkeling when we were there. Very lightly populated. Looked like a nice hotel however didn’t check it out closely.

I talked to the owner of the fishing Resort at Point Lobos back before the Covid situation made everything difficult. I would like to come down there and fish for a week but Tom and Jim's phone number seems to be out of order. Could you please call me at 916-862-7752 and see if they are still taking people out in their pangas? Do they still drive from Arizona to Point Lobos. Look forwaed to your call
