From Biagio…Puerto Escondido is one of the few hurricane holes in the Sea of Cortez which will protect boats when hurricanes or tropical storms come along. Boats return here year after ye
ar to this sheltered anchorage.Majestic mountains surprisingly tower over us in a desert! While sitting in the cockpit, we can watch the beautiful mountains reflected in the water. This place has drawn me back for it’s great beauty and great memories.
There is another reason boaters come here. The end of the Sea of Cortez boating season will have a big party here for all the cruisers making their way back up the coast returning to the US. It’s called Loreto Fest at the beginning of May. So we’ll be off for a few weeks exploring up north and then return back here for the party.
Honeymoon Cove is j
ust across the way. Only a 15 minute crossing with a beautiful bay that can hold only about 4 boats at a time each one nesting in one of its fingers. It’s not surprising th
at my crusing friends Terry and Lynn on Starform had talked about this anchorage many times. I missed this on my last trip here. On a typical sunny morning I climbed to the top of one of the hills to take in the beauty of the area.
Look at the photos below to get an idea of the surrounding views.
