Cecille's Creativity

For the auto explorer, Kino Bay is one of the few accessible spots in the long undeveloped coastline from the northern end of the Gulf of California down to the resort center of Guaymas. Kino Bay and the little town of “Old” Kino are 66 miles by good paved road from Hermosillo.

The residents of the tiny village, with its simple chapel and a single cantina, make their living chiefly by fishing. The men fish from small boats, a few dugout canoes. Some villagers work on the nearby inland farms.

Five miles beyond “Old” Kino is the newer, more urban shoreline community of “New” Kino, a modern development with curbings, paved streets, sidewalks and sewers. This is an up-and-coming seaside resort with attractive homes springing up along the beach, two modern motels, three trailer parks and a restaurant.
