“The Wall” Baja California Surfing & Camping

“The Wall” – Surf Spot in Baja California

Arriving at “The Wall” close to Punta Santa Rosalillita, we had two new members on our team. Back in Guerrero Negro, we met two traveling surfers from New Zealand. Together we went to one of the most notorious surf spots along the Baja California called “The Wall.” This place is a remote beach in the desert. There is not much to take photos of, but this place has perfect waves. Still, I could take pictures of the sundowns and the community.

Surfing Road Trip, Baja California

There were many incredible people at “The Wall” camping and surfing as we did. You find surfers in their sixties at the beach camping most winter here. It’s a great community out there in the middle of nowhere. Unfortunately, the locals show up from time to time to collect some money. Well, I guess the local fishers own the place. You can probably make a deal if you plan to stay longer than a few days.

The Kiwis we took along on our trip reminded me of my time in New Zealand. I had been there just two years ago, and I got introduced to surfing for the first time. During our two-week vacation at “The Wall,” we also made friends with other surfer dudes from the States. So we decided to keep on rolling together.

About the Author

Hi, my name is Christian Köhlert, and I am a photographer and digital content creator living most of the time in Montreux, Switzerland. Since I came to Baja California, in 2016, the Mexican peninsula has become my second home. Especially, San Pedrito Beach, close to Todos Santos, has been my front yard during the cold winter months in Europe. At this beach, I learned surfing, so I came every year to enjoy the waves. I have many more in my Travel Photography Blog if you like my photos.
