Drive down past Puerto Nuevo, past the sand dunes and when you see a turn off road that heads to a gated community go to the guard gate and ask to be let in.

Dangers
Additional Information
It is a right that may look harmless but is actually a powerful wave. The paddle out isn't to bad but the paddle in sucks due to urchins EVERYWHERE!
Atmosphere
Really mellow spot. Not to crowded at all. There is another reef break next to it and a beach break next to that.
General
Excellent spot for the experienced.

K-55/Campo Lopez/Isadores - Greetings, Salutations, Saludos!
I met a homeowner(Jimmy about 60 yo) of Campo Lopez in Indonesia at Kandui Resort a few days back(still here as I write this). Discussing an old name of said location I just now remembered what we called it in the early '60's! - 'Isadores' - does ANYONE recall having heard that name used?
Baja was our escape from Redondo Beach during those years and Panama and everything in between was scouted personally by me w/girlfriends and amigos in the 70's by custom built old Helms Bakery Truck - bed, roof rack, water tank. Good times at Witches Rock/Playa Negra etc., CR.
Have old photos - advise how to post.
Hasta el proximo vez. Nos vemos.

- An unbelievable amount of intimidation and threats from the usual lot of below average surfers. Maybe the complaints should be directed to the north where a once desolate bluff is now leveled with half-ass homes and lots, trying to capture the almighty profit that has since failed the land to the far north only to leave the N. Baja coast filled with empty frames and shells littering the once prestine coastline. Just be happy you can surf, and if you havn't been surfing more than 20 years, then shut the F Up, earn your stripes and wait your turn.

Casa 55 - My Dad & I had a house in the 70's & 80's, (Casa 55), it was next door to Vince's house. Surf was big during winter 81-82. Sure miss the place, if anyone knows of rentals there, pls pass on the info to littleandassociate@sbcglobal.net.
