La Ventana Stories

An ongoing series of write-ups about the history and the happenings of La Ventana Bay and the surrounding region. Recent highlights:

Meet the Owners: Oscarito’s - For anyone who has spent time in La Ventana, Oscaritos has likely been a part of that experience. This family-owned grocery store, a long-time staple of the community, boasts the widest selection of household items in the area. Whether you need to stock up on groceries, water, cash, or cleaning supplies, Oscaritos is the go-to Read More (by Natalie Smith)

All Things Reptile: Cerralvo Island Adventures - In October, my dad and I enjoy/survive our annual Isla Cerralvo Camping Trip. October is one of the best times to find snakes in our area and — amazingly — this was our third year in a row pulling off a Cerralvo trip during this crazy time of year.  (by Chance Stevens)

The Sea Around Us: Pantropical spotted dolphins  - We had many dolphins swimming in our bay recently! Common and bottlenose dolphins are the most common species here in La Ventana, but each now and then we find other species, one of them being the pantropical spotted dolphins. Smaller than other dolphins, they are fast, playful, and highly acrobatic, irradiating a contagious joy. (by María Rodriguez-Salinas)

Observing the Reef: Discovering Fish Behavior - Through observation, snorkelers and divers can learn a great deal about fish and their behaviors. This video is a share of fish behaviors I have witnessed while snorkeling along the El Sargento shoreline. (by William Ihne)

Bird's Eye View: Attracting Birds to Your Yard - In the last two to three years, several studies have been published in scientific journals suggesting that having nature, for example singing birds, in your immediate environment can lead to greater well-being and health and overall life enrichment and even a prolonging of life. (by David Bird)

History of La Ventana: The Cabalerra de Cerralvo (Part 2) - From El Sargento and La Ventana, you can watch shadows paint Isla Cerralvo a changing hew of colors from sunrise to sunset. The island provides beautiful views, but it also conceals many tales. The Caballera de Cerralvo, told here for the first time, is one of them. (by Tom Spradley)
