Hole In The Coast
Monday, 11th July 2005 by Alex Turnbull
Update: After much debate in the comments of this post, determined reader Patrick has finally tracked down the truth about this mysterious location! Patrick contacted a friend who lives in Mexico and she pointed him towards this forum thread, where he discovered that this is a place called La Lobera; and our 'hole in the coast' is in fact, a collapsed sea cave. There's some brilliant images of the hole and the surrounding area in the thread, some of which show the structure to be of pretty staggering size.
Many thanks and much kudos to Patrick, as this was driving us nuts! 😀
Anyone know what this strange hole in the coast of Mexico is? Weird.

Hello Everyone… I”ve been there .. I went at a very young age when this tourist attraction was not well known.. it was a well kept secret by the local people (my family lives in San Quintin) .. and I went there last year. It’s not a blowhole.. I even have pictures if anyone is interested … [email protected]… Before we would have to go by 4WD and it would take two hours .. then you’d have to walk over the last two big hills…. but now there is a pretty flat dirt road that one can use to get to with virtually any car .. its about 15 mintues from Mexican Highway 1 (transpeninsular) on an unmarked offramp about 45 minutes past San Quintin. It is a hole that was likely caused by a squirrel (or prairie dog) burrowing int he dirt .. then over a few hundred years the rain made it bigger and bigger and bigger… it does have a cave that goes out to the ocean .. during high tide seals come in to rest and mate…. and NO .. space aliens did not land there and mate with the mexicans for those of you who are Xenophobic.
