After nearly three years behind double fence and perimeter guard, with guard houses in strategic vantage places, the Jalisco state governor signed the papers that, on the afternoon of June 2nd, finally allowed free access to return to an awesome beach area.
I have to admit I never thought this would happen. But then, who would have thought someone could strong arm this entire beach population off their properties, and bulldoze many of them. This fiasco has shaken resolve of many coming to Mexico to ever own land there, let alone even visit again, and let alone what it did to locals, when it was estimated to be 800 area residents who had built a life's work from the beach. Recalling these many fine local people we knew during our winters there, I hope they somehow weathered the years that came and went without any tourism.. Many will have moved on, struggling with economic pressures, but I do hope many will now find it within themselves to rebuild their lives again, around the beach. Their beach of Tenacatita.
