Points of Interest

There is a natural hot spring at the north end of the road – you have to find it near the shore during a low tide, but not too low or it will be burning hot. You have to dig your own little pool.

There is a natural cactus forest in Los Planes that has huge cardons and other cactus. It is off the dirt road at the farthest end of the town. There are many wonderful trails and places to explore in the desert.
