Caleta de Campos

Caleta sits high on the hill, away from the surge and power of the sea, yet relies on the sea for its livelihood…fishing, tourism (many Mexicans come to the beach for vacation; cruisers stop for an overnight, sometimes coming ashore to enjoy a meal at a beachside palapa).




A lighthouse casts its beam seaward to alert and protect mariners offshore.

Wandering through the few streets of Caleta de Campos, we bought a few tortillas, remarking on the similarities and differences in small Mexican coastal towns. There are a few small hotels, so underutilized, no hustle and bustle.



Caleta is unique, yet so familiar.
