Kayak Explorations

We paddled down the coast to check out some of the other camp areas and beaches. Just around the point from us there is a cliff with fancy-schmancy houses on top. We were told there is a hot spring below the white stairway leading down to the beach. Kai and Donna went ashore to look for it and found it, though it's too hot at low tide.

We continued around the next point and went to Eco Mundo, where they rent charming enclosed palapas furnished with beds. The rooms are cooled by fans powered with solar electricity and there are hammocks in front of the palapas. Tracy and her husband are the new owners and they also rent out kayaks and offer kayak tours of the area. We all love the logo on their t-shirts and tank tops, so we each purchased one.

Just around the next point is Playa Escondida, a beach I would have liked to camp on. The road to this beach goes over a hump and is very rough and full of deep ruts, so it isn't suitable for rigs longer than about 24 feet with adequate clearance. I've only seen vans here or SUVs with tent campers. Most of the camping areas are right along the highway, so you get truck noise. One thing I like about Playa Escondida is that it's farther from the road and over a hill so road noise isn't an issue.
The quiet beach has several simple palapas providing shade at the water's edge.
