From Megayachts to Mobulas: Baja Headlines You Don’t Want to Miss
This week’s Gringo Gazette South dives headfirst into the heart of Baja life, with bold reporting, quirky events, serious environmental updates, and just enough scandal to keep things spicy.
🌎 It’s Clean-Up Time — Join locals and expats on March 30 for the Third Annual Clean Up Day 2025, a massive, community-wide initiative to rid Baja’s natural wonders of plastic and trash. It’s not just about garbage bags—it’s about community pride and protecting our beaches.
🌊 Massive Yacht or Floating Supervillain Lair? — The mysterious return of “La Datcha,” the $100-million Russian-owned superyacht with a disappearing act, submersibles, a Turkish Hammam, and a stalagmite ice fountain (seriously), has locals gawking and the gossip swirling.
🐢 Babies, Beached Whales, and Sea Lions in Trouble — Conservation efforts are front and center this week. From leatherback turtle hatchlings making a rare return to Cabo’s shores, to a baby sea lion rescued with a hook in its snout, and a starved gray whale stranding in the East Cape—our marine friends are making headlines.
🏖️ Day Club Drama at Tecolote Beach — It’s a tentative “yes” from the authorities, but don’t break out the cocktails just yet. The beach club project must comply with more than 30 strict environmental regulations before anyone can party in paradise.
🎉 Tomatoes Follies is Back — Our favorite ladies in red are rolling out the red carpet for a night of Oscar-nominated tunes, costumes, and chaos. It’s glitz, glam, and full-blown Tomato energy at Cabo Jack’s.
🎭 Cabo’s Cultural Scene: Still Under Construction? — Local voices call on the government to save and invest in cultural venues, especially the neglected Cultural Pavilion. With so much history and talent, will Cabo finally get the artistic home it deserves?
🐟 Sport Fishing for a Cause — The Third Annual Bulnes 2025 Fishing Tournament is here, supporting Cabo’s firefighters with serious prize money and sustainable fishing vibes.
💸 Spring Breakers Leave Their Mark (and Their Trash) — Los Cabos sees nearly 100 tons of beach garbage during the party weeks. ZOFEMAT’s teams are on the case, but the call is out for everyone to help keep our coast clean.
📉 Real Estate and Investment News — With U.S. economic jitters and a strong dollar, Baja is becoming a top pick for savvy investors. MoXi and other firms are simplifying the buying process for Americans looking to escape and invest south of the border.
🏆 Los Cabos Wins Again — Tripadvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Awards named Los Cabos one of the best destinations in the world for 2025, and Scuba Diving Magazine declared it the top overall destination for diving. Baja’s reputation just keeps getting better.
🔥 Firefighters Demand Fair Pay — Cabo’s bravest speak up about wages that don’t match their risk or rising cost of living. Can we finally give these heroes the support they deserve?
🌪️ Hurricane Season Looms — The 2025 hurricane season kicks off May 15. The official name list is out—Zelda, we’re looking at you—and officials are urging everyone to be prepared.
🛠️ Road Work, Cultural Venues, Estuary Protection & More — From cleaning up roadsides and rethinking city planning to saving the San José Estuary, this issue highlights how Baja’s future is being shaped—one policy, one project, and one passionate citizen at a time.
