El Requeson, Bahia Concepcion, Baja, Mexico

Hailed as one of the most picturesque camping spots on Bahia Concepcion, it was an easy decision to spend the night at El Requeson. We arrived at low tide and were able to see the sand spit that joins the beach to the island just off shore. We set up our outdoor kitchen in the palapa beside our camper and we had great views of the turquoise water, as we scrubbed the dishes in our bins of saltwater. After gazing at the star-studded sky, we headed to bed in the hopes of a good night’s sleep. Unfortunately, the wild winds returned and we were forced to climb out of bed at 2am to roll in the awning which was acting as a sail and threatening to go airborne. With bags under our eyes after three sleepless nights, we decided to pack up camp and move on to Loreto in an attempt to escape these windstorms.
