Isla San Francisco Salt Pond

24° 49.5′ N · 110° 34.2′ W · approximate

A low-lying salt flat in the middle of the island, flat enough that one family's kids played stickball on it between canyon scrambles.

Practical

Coordinate is approximate: placed on the island's low ground near the main beach from the OpenStreetMap outline; the source describes the flat but gives no position, so confirm on satellite imagery before walking. Reach it on foot from the main anchorage; combine with the canyons and boulder caves the same crews explored. Do not collect anything—the island is part of the Islas del Golfo de California protected area.
