La Cruz Days Mexico: Big Sierra, Beach Camping & One Last Wild Party | Sailing Avocet
Our friend Kris (@big.sierra-i1f) made the journey south to Mexico to join us for the final La Cruz Days party—and what started as a music-filled farewell quickly turned into an impromptu camping adventure in Chacala. From beach sunsets and cold beers to late-night jams and dusty roads, this trip perfectly captured the magic of cruiser culture in Mexico.
After La Cruz, Chris and I wrapped up the season in true Baja fashion at the Lusty on Land end-of-season party, celebrating with live bands, sailors, musicians, and the incredible community that forms around places like La Cruz de Huanacaxtle every winter. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to chase music, friendship, and freedom while cruising Mexico—this is it.
