I again camped at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument for two nights at site #193. The campground was nearly empty.
This time I timed my trip to Puerto Peñasco for high tide in the afternoon to avoid stingrays. But first I went to Playa Cerro Prieto (Black Hill Beach) to check out the low tide in the morning. I walked about a half mile out in to Choya Bay without the water going above my ankles. My hike was 1.9 miles round-trip, and it took me 1 hour and 34 minutes to walk out on the tidal flats.
Next, I went to CEDO (Center for the study of Deserts and Oceans). After that I went to Playa Hermosa to go swimming for the afternoon. It was a little past noon when I arrived, and the tide was coming in quickly.
In the evening I went out to dinner at El Buzo (The Diver) Seafood and Beer. The meal was excellent and and reasonably priced, and had bottled water.
