We did not go to San Juan de la Costa but I mention it in the title because it means Saint Jon of the Coast, which amuses me. Our own beneficent Jon did stop in San Juan de la Costa on a bike ride the other day. On that ride he spied some beaches that looked nice and was thoughtful enough to suggest we drive to one.
The road out of town.
Our little passenger.
Front seat selfie. Serious.
The road gets prettier and the Sea of Cortez pops into view. In La Paz we are on a bay which is not quite the open sea.
Road pinto. Baby donkey!.
Hiking down from where we parked.
Actual waves- we do not see many waves on the bay of La Paz.
Built in seating.

Nice caves.
Vino tinto in the picnic basket- a Carmenere from Chile. A clever bartender recently told me that Chileans had asked the French for some Merlot vines and were given Carmenere instead. They made the best of it. I like it. Tangy and dry.
Amazing shells all over the beach.
We hiked down-beach crossing somewhat narrow passages given the tide. It was worth it when Jon found this notch.
The water here in January is just fine for us polar bear types. Photo credit Jon.
There was an under crossing for rain water below the road. Photo credit Axel.
