Punta Mazo is a surf break point located at Cabo San Quintin, just outside of the San Quintin Bay. Surfing enthusiasts seek the remote location that is only accessible via the Ruta Volcanica where it ends at La Chorera and then driving through a few miles of soft sand, with the reward of isolated camping, a good surf break and the peaceful tranquility. Great surf fishing from the beach and lots of mussels on the rocks to use as bait.
Access can be limited at times and best to air down and have a high clearance 4×4 vehicle.

3 months agoAmazing nature preserve and a super unique setting, the views from Volcan Sudoeste are insane! If you don’t have a 4x4 you may be able to reach La Chorera, park there near the beach, and walk the remaining ~2mi to the preserve. Absolutely visit if you are near San Quintin.

2 months agoClean, beautiful and very well kept. We stayed for free at the camping site, enjoying warm water (!), super clean bathrooms and very friendly staff.

2 months agoAbsolutely spectacular location. Beautiful beaches, dunes and wetlands, and a great hike to the volcano. Free and paid camping options, and for about $30/night per person, cabin rentals with full kitchen, solar lighting and bathroom.

a year agoCan’t rate this park and the Rangers high enough. Upon arriving at the gate, the park ranger told us everyone needs a reservation to enter. And should have been made a week prior as the process involves the office. He kindly showed us how to get onto their website. And even gave us his phone to make the reservation. Unfortunately it does take someone on the other end to approve the reservation so we didn’t get the reservation right away... we eventually received it a week later. After trying everything he could think of, he let us in anyways recognizing we’re foreigners who don’t know the reservation system and would have difficulties travelling back. Really nice and helpful beyond expectation. What an amazing place! You could tell the rangers take pride in their work; camps, buildings, roads, fauna, very well maintained/ protected and no garbage anywhere. 15km of natural beach with very few people in the reserve. The view from the top of volcano is a must do... who gets to drive to the top of Volcano to watch sunset and sunrise? Within a km into the reserve you will need a high clearance vehicle. Our 4x4 bottomed out on several places and had to drive carefully. You won’t be allowed through the gate with a regular car because you’ll get stuck in the sand. Bring provisions as you’ll want to spend days here as over night camping on the beaches is allowed.
