Bahía Concepción
By Bill and Dorothy Bell
About half way down the long drive down the Baja on the Sea
of Cortez, lays
Bahía Concepción just south of the tiny oasis
town of Mulegé.
This 23 mile long Bay is one of the most
picturesque spots on the peninsula, with striking turquoise waters against
the dry barren desert and cactus laid hills.
 The
waters are generally calm here.
Camping at Playa Santispac
The mighty pacific waves are tamed somewhat
by the mass of the peninsula and then again by the arm of the bay almost
hugging and protecting the inner waters. Winds and waves tend to pick up
later in the afternoon, cooling off the dry and sometimes blistering hot
beach.
Life on the Bay is laid back and easy. It is
RV heaven with over a dozen RV camping places along the shores. There are
full hook-up spots in Mulegé and generally no-frills camping along the
beaches.
Calm waters
on the bay make it perfect for snorkeling or diving for scallops
Playa Santispac is one of the more popular
beach spots. It has no electricity or water but there is a dump site. The
current daily rate is $7 a night and is collected by the ejido daily. Water
is sold from tanker trucks and other supplies are consistently sold off the
back of pick-up trucks. Fresh fruit and vegetables. Milk and fish. Two
restaurants – Anna’s and Ray’s Place service the hundreds of rigs that make
this beach home for months at a time.
 One
of our favorite spots is El Requesón. A small spit connects the mainland to
a tiny island at high tide, and at low tide you must wade out to just over
your ankles. The clams and scallops are plentiful here and often you can
swim for your dinner right outside your rig’s door. If you aren’t so lucky,
there is a fisher co-op just a 5 minute walk down the beach.

When supplies and electricity are starting to
get low, you can refresh your energy a night or two in Mulegé – just up the
road.
