Day trip to La Bocana/Rio Copalita. Just before descending the final hill off the highway, there's this bright yellow structure to mark a scenic pullover lookout where you can see almost the entire beach and the river cutting it apart about a quater of the way. This is the tail end of Huatulco in that direction. The beautiful curvaceous highway comes to an abrupt stop after this point. Too bad. I wish that road could go on forever.
Another 26 km beyond is Barra de la Cruz, a beach I've been wanting to visit since I arrived here. Maybe I'll make it tomorrow. I need to get earlier starts to my days. It's back to reality on Monday and I won't be able to ignore the alarm when it goes off.
William joined me at La Bocana yesterday. We took turns playing with the boogie board and he made a good effort to catch some fish. It was the perfect way to kill an afternoon. Serious clouds stacked up out of nowhere and we hit the road. Saw lightning on the way home but it didn't break until some time past midnight.
This beach was reason enough alone to buy the scooter. It's a casual distance by scooter and the boogie board rests easily against the front. It's also the only beach in Huatulco where you can play in the waves. We have calm beaches for swimming that are almost always too crowded and beaches with steep inclines where the waves crash high right on the shore. Two exceptions are Violin and Organo. They don't get the same amount of traffic because to visitors they're only accessible by charter boat but we've all benefitted from Matt's explorations and know the trails.
As for today, maybe Conejos won't be too crowded.
