Bahia Asuncion Day 2

A huge thanks to David and Nancy including us in their hectic Bahia schedule. First a walk after breakfast, then coffee, then lunch, then shopping, then surfing, then a nap (us anyway), then a get together with friends for cerveza and supper. That's my kind of hectic!  Also a big thanks to Shari, Juan and all the family and friends who made us feel so welcome... We'll be back.

Bahia Asuncion is fishing village of about 2000 people. As well as sport fishing, which brings most of the tourist, there is a well organized lobster and abalone catch. The fishing is organized and protected under a strong cooperative that controls and protects the fishery. There are severe penalties for poachers outside of coop members. Anyone is permitted for catch fish for there own consumption that are not protected by the coop.

There are a few rental cabins, a campground on the beach and a basic hotel on the main drag. The beaches are very nice... long, sandy, shallow, safe with good boogie boarding. The weather on the pacific coast is generally cooler than the gulf coast both winter and summer. It is also very dry. In fact it seldom rains, hence natural vegetation is sparse.

Tourism is fairly new to Asuncion. Our host, Shari, is the tourism / real estate contact in Bahia Asuncion. If anyone is interested in visiting an authentic fully functioning Mexican fishing community yet undisturbed by the affects of tourism you can contact Shari through http://bajabnb.com/php/
