Los Frailes

On November 11, we motorsailed from Cabo San Lucas up the east side of Baja to an anchorage known as Los Frailes (the Friers). We faced a strong headwind all the way up and were happy to make it into the sheltered anchorage.

The anchorage was crowded with over 30 boats. This is a major stopping point between Cabo and La Paz, as well as being a jumping off point for crossing the Sea of Cortez to Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta.

There is a beautiful beach here, and a few houses, but no hotels or restaurants. Just north of Cabo Los Frailes is the Cabo Pulmo National Marine Park. We visited by kayak one day and by dinghy the next, and spent a lot of time snorkeling on a beautiful coral reef. We made our first successful beach landing with our new dinghy wheels.
