Here are some fun videos of events and attractions around the village.
We have so much fun when our surfer friends fly in for the perfect swell!
PACNOR SURF ALLIANCE
We are a group of ocean loving surfers of all ages who have come together to unite the Central Pacific coastal towns of Baja California Sur. The idea was born with a group of surfers in Bahia Tortugas who visited the villages of Bahia Asuncion, Punta Abreojos & La Bocana to invite us to participate in the new PacNor Surf alliance in hopes of sending representatives from the zone to bigger tournaments.
By organizing a surf tournament circuit in the region, we bring back the excitement of a challenge, with a chance of moving up in a point system to form a team of representatives from the zone. One of our many goals is to motivate young surfers to work hard and set goals that we can help them achieve.
The PacNor Surf Club in Bahia Asuncion aims to bring back surfing as a community sport, not only to compete but to teach the youth to swim, surf, water safety as well as educate people how important it is to take care of our villages, coastline, oceans and one another.
We are working on outfitting a club house at the beach where we will have a lending library of wetsuits, surf & boogie boards, leashes, fins, wax etc. so even kids with no gear can participate and learn.
It will be a place where we can meet and plan events and fundraisers to help the club raise money to send the members to tournaments. Perhaps a small store with souvenirs and surf gear too in the future.
With help from our sponsors and donations from visitors & friends, the clubhouse and lending library will grow and help more kids. We have lots of great ideas and the kids are stoked about the future!
Help us help them with a donation!
The Blowhole or Bufadora is a fun place to swim during a storm….it is a favorite local attraction for storm watching!
Asuncion Island is an amazing place to visit to see nesting seabirds, seals, turtles, dolphins and snorkel with thousands of Sea Lions, and it’s only a 5 minute panga ride from town or an easy kayak paddle to experience nature at it’s best!
Our Fiestas Tradicionales are an annual event in mid August lasting several days with lots of fun events for the whole family like horse races, a rodeo, cabalgata, beach events, food stands, live music with dances every night & a carnaval with a midway. Here is a video of some of the highlights.
Horse racing is a popular pastime in Bahia Asuncion usually held on special days like Father’s Day, the Traditional Fiestas etc. There are many ranchitos in the area and many people have horses that they race just for fun!
