Something not right?

Description

Large parking of gravel and sand by a beach just off highway 11. Just garbage bins here, no bathrooms. Quiet but can get busy at times. We had a dozen cars here last night and some with loud music. Overall good place for a day or two.

You will have good cell signal. please beware of the tide, it can fluctuate at night. In high rainy season the area can get flooded. prefer parking south of the bridge.

Report Check-In

We arrived at the beach around 5pm and we were the only ones, after having dined outside the van, we entered and around 9.30pm we heard noises from someone who was getting very close to our van and claimbing the ladder that goes on the roof. We went outside and we saw a little further on, hidden among the mangroves, a dark suv with a sticker on the doors that was shaped like a big star with writing that we couldn't read. When we approached with the torch, we saw a man about 40,45 years old who got into the vehicle and drove away in a hurry. We already read the review that warned of similar facts and not being sure he would not return, we preferred to move to sleep at the Pichilingue beach. Apparently he wasn't armed but seemed very confident.

WARNING: we stayed here and at the beach a couple hundreds meters down the highway (called playa Erendira, right where the highway splits) for 2 weeks on and off. When we were with friends we had no problems, but when we were alone on 2 separate occasions a dark SUV pulled up very close to us at night (9/10pm) and the man would quietly sneak up to the van and look into our windows. First time we noticed him through our side mirrors and the second time we heard him and then saw him at the window. Both times he quickly got in in his car and drove off. Both times we left to sleep at the overnight Pemex. (Note: not 100% sure it was the same man/vehicle).

The beaches are not very nice compared to ones further down the highway. On the weekends they are pretty busy so there shouldn’t be any problems like that ^. But just be careful if a truck or suv parks a little too close on a beach that’s completely empty.
