I have fished the place called Bahia Santa Rosalillita, which across from the Cedros Island.
There is a small motel there, though I slept in a truck most nights.

If interested, I can provide a link to a report that I posted about that trip.

I spent a few days there a few months ago. Very nice fishery. The bay used to be a fabulous place for halibut but the Comercial guys really put a hurt on them. Very few decent one left in the Area. I understand that the hotel is booked as far as you can see with construction guys as they are building a huge aquaculture facility just north of town. Plenty of camping areas. Hope it fairs better than the big beautiful walled in Harbor that they built that filled in with blowing sand before it was even finished.

We did not try for halibut, but caught a lot of yellowtails as well as other fish.

I think the idea of harbor was to have the big boats come in and then go on land to Bahia the Los Angeles. A shortcut if you will from Pacific to Sea of Cortez.

Like you said the sand became an issue, but I heard it was from the sea washing into the harbor.

That was certainly the plan for the harbor. There seemed to be a real lack of planning on the project. First and foremost was marketing research. How many of these larger boats go by there in a months time and then how many of them would like to take a shortcut to the SOC. I would think that a very high percentage were just going to Cabo. They built and abandoned some state of the art infrastructure with cranes and hoists etc. Not to mention the road off from Highway 1. The widest road in Baja, maybe all of Mexico. I kept looking in my mirrors thinking a commercial airliner might be landing behind me
