Fishing……

Los Barriles has some of the best fishing found anywhere in the world. Everyday, twice a day, we would either take out the big boat or paddle out in the kayak.


Surrounding Area

Communities have been built up and down the coast with each having unique characteristics. The properties all seem to have beautiful views of the deep blue ocean waters. A drive up to the mountains is amazing. I stopped on one drive and took in the small desert that dotted the landscape between ocean and mountain and watched an eagle soar. High up in the elevation you will find hiking and biking paths. This truly and outdoorsmen’s dream.
