I used to visit Playa de Oro with several Barra locals back in the late ‘60s and even camped there for ten days in 1970. The story they told was that the cobblestone road was built in the ‘30s to carry out bat dung from the big rock in your picture – the major fertilizer before WWII and a sort of gold. Only one picnic table under a palapa roof back then – no parking lot, houses or hotel. And the ocean riptides made for treacherous swimming.<br />CarmeloCarmelonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-4913234869233890452011-01-06T19:57:48.924-06:002011-01-06T19:57:48.924-06:00Another interesting story with photos.

The sign went missing for 2-3 years. We went in his big pickup and I've wondered about road conditions for mine.<br /><br />It is a pretty beach but like most of the open ocean beaches around, it's not a swimming beach. When we were there there were a few 4wd's zipping up and down and I hear you may be able to drive to Playa de Coco's. Past the airport which is the Playa de Oro airportSparksmexnoreply@blogger.com
