Punta de Mita has certainly changed since my first visit here in 1991. But the fact of the matter is that it is still a great place to drop the hook. I usually anchor in front of the panga break water in 20 feet of water in good holding sand before I head north on return trips to the Sea of Cortes. There are several hazards in the area so check the custom map above to avoid the two main hazards that have now become tourist spear fishing destinations.
