Its not in the guide book.


Tom heard of a beach that was not on most maps, couldn’t be found on the web and wasn’t in Lonely Planet and was determined to go. He offered to scout without us, but we got into the spirit. Here we are in Boca del Rio (the mystery spot) having a tamale and a coke 5 min after arrival waiting for the next bus out of town. I did however find this shrine to San Pedro when I walked around. (above) Looks to me like he must be the patron saint of fishermen, at least in Boca del Rio. Oh well, we were only out 3 hours of bus riding and Maggie made friends with a lively group of fellows in the back of the bus who asked in Spanish, among other things, how much pot costs in United States, if she had a boyfriend, and if she had friends without boyfriends. They were on their way to dive for sea urchins.
