Bahía Salvaje | Wild Camping

What an amazing place, right down at the pebble beach with view over the sea of Cortez. I took the road from San Sebastian which is ‘exiting’. You definitely need an4x4 high clearance with low gearing or some fancy crawl mode and some
Offroad skills and a strong sense of adventure. With all that it’s great fun.

This is a great place! We stayed here for two nights and really enjoyed it. Almost no wind and firewood everywhere! No one around, except for a few fisher boats. We could observe some dolphins, swimming close to the coast!
No garbage at all, so please don’t mess it up!
The road is a bit rough, we recommend some high clearance.

Gorgeous, just gorgeous! Calm, quiet, wonderful! Came from "Bottom of Bahia Concepcion" and stayed here as it was so nice. 1.5 hrs from the highway, road in great 4x4 shape, just the last part is indeed steep and rarely travelled. Google maps routes you on these roads, except the little connector... 😉
We actually stayed in "Oyster Beach" about a km north as is was a bit more open and breezier.

The gate is actually right on 76km mark. Road was mostly nice and flat with short steep pitches, there are some dry wash crossings on the beginning, by the end you will face 2 steeqper descents and the last section from little oasis is definitely 4x4, narrow, rocky and steep. It is about 26km to get here from hwy, took us 1.5h. We didn't stay as it was still early and continued along the coast to San Nicolas. This was probably the best spot we saw along this section of the coast.

We don't really know if this place has a name at all, we just call it Bahía Salvaje – the wild bay. It's well off the beaten track and you can be pretty sure to be alone with the pelicans hunting and the dolphins playing out there.
The bay is covered with rocks of any size and so it's a bit tricky to get into the water, especially at low tide. There is enough firewood to fuel the hell for weeks.
In a rugged high clearance vehicle access is easy via the tiny little fishing villages of San Nicolás and La Ramadita but it's fun to make it a loop which includes some more serious off road driving. To do so leave MEX 1 between the Km 76 and 77 markers through a gate in the fence, first heading north to the shore You will meet a wide track heading in a northeastern direction. To leave the plain look at the mountains in front of you and route towards the smallest of them until you reach a rocky track with far less forks than in the plain. To get down to San Sebastián turn right at N 26.628350, W 111.630150 and again at N 26.619050, W 111.576000. From there take the steep and rarely traveled ascent at N 26.615417, W 111.571433. Enjoy.
