Magdalena Bay

Wednesday we headed up to Magdalena Bay, with Ed, to check out the property for the resort he is building called Magdalena Secret. The permit for building has officially gone through and the building starts at the beginning of March. Spencer got to see it last April, so I was pretty excited to see it for myself.
one word.
Wow.

So, it's about a 4 hour drive north of Cabo. We get to drive through Todo Santos and La Paz, and then we stay the night in Constitucion. I love this little town. It is so clean, beautiful, friendly, quiet, and they have really really good food.
Here are some pictures I took around Constitucion.

This was our hotel

Of course, I just realized I COMPLETELY forgot to take pictures at the cute little outside deli we ate lunch at, and the fantastic restaurant we ate at for dinner. Delicious papas and tortas and the best macaroons I have EVER had in my life.

The property that Ed owns at Magdalena Bay is, right now, a 40 minute drive through a cactus jungle, on a dirt road. And then there is the exploration of the property which covers 2 miles of undiscovered beach and 900,000 sq.ft of land. ( I can't remember the acreage). So we decided to start early the next morning and spend the day there.


So the next morning we went to the Super Ley, got bag lunches of Tortas and yogurt, and off we were.

Driving over and through this

getting closer to the bay...

The mountains in the background...that is Margarita Island.

And then we arrive, and for a moment I thought I had died and gone to heaven.

I felt like a kid in a candy store. The sand...I have NEVER felt sand like this before. You can sit down on it, roll around, get up and brush it ALL off. It feels like therapeutic spa sand...finer than cinnamon. And then when it gets wet, it is like the softest clay...but NOT muddy at all. It doesn't stick to you at ALL. It just molds and comforts your feet.

my prancing in the sand drew an audience

The seashells on the beach are awesome. There are ZERO crushed shells. They are big, beautiful and in one piece. All different kinds of colors and shapes. Click on the picture beneath to make it larger.

And this next picture...IT'S A CRAB! Alive and strolling along the beach with me. (click on it to see it better).

OR, it's possible he was trying to find all of his brothers and sisters who were waiting for him in the boat.


we'll be eating good at the bay.

Ed was going to take us out in the boat to go touch the 50-60 WHALE that were out there.
Unfortunately the boat was not quite functional, so we will be back next week to do that.

The plans Ed has for this place is truly exceptional. The villas, bungalows, and casitas that are going up, will be first class, 5 star, GRADE A, top of the line, choicest places on EARTH to spend any vacation. And I can't wait to live there.



p.s. There are a few more lots for sale. FYI. If you purchase one, your return on investment will be 1.2 million dollars in 10 years.
