Description:
This first volume in a three-reel series documents RV travel and beach camping in Baja California Sur during the 1970s, capturing the sense of arrival, openness, and family adventure that defined overland travel at the southern end of the Baja Peninsula. Shot on color film, the footage emphasizes coastal scenery, casual beach life, and unstructured family time.
The reel opens near the Monumento Conmemorativo Paralelo 28, marking the boundary where Baja California ends and Baja California Sur begins—a symbolic threshold for travelers continuing south. Palm trees sway near the shoreline as the camera settles into wide ocean views and rolling waves breaking along the beach.
Family life unfolds at the water’s edge: children play in the sand, walk along the shoreline with adults, and snack on chips while seated on the beach. Boats move across the ocean just offshore, reinforcing the connection between camping, coastal travel, and maritime life. Seagulls fly overhead, punctuating the scenes with constant motion against the sky.
Together, these images establish the relaxed pace and exploratory spirit of 1970s Baja travel—preserving a moment when RV campers embraced the simplicity of beach living, family togetherness, and the vast openness of the Pacific coast.
