Punta Chivato
A remote headland north of Mulegé with shell beaches and clear water, suited to snorkeling, fishing and stargazing.
Punta Chivato lies about 25 km north of Mulegé. You reach it by turning off Highway 1 onto a dirt road about 20 km long. Holiday homes and a simple campground are scattered across the headland. The shell beach on the north side is covered with shells of many colors, and the reef area is good for snorkeling. Offshore waters are frequented by fishing boats, and San Marcos Island is clearly visible across the water. There is almost no light pollution here, so the night sky is excellent. The dirt road is bumpy, and a high-clearance vehicle is recommended. There are no shops, so bring your own supplies.
