North Point Wall (Isla San Pedro Nolasco)

Practical
Coordinate is the island's northernmost coastline point from the OpenStreetMap outline (derived, not a surveyed mooring). One of 12 named Nolasco sites (with Magdalena Bay, Lighthouse, The Little Waterfall, The Cave, The Beach, La Lobera, North Point, The Window, Pelican Point, The Cavern, The Rookery, South Point). The island lies about 15 km off the coast and 28 km from San Carlos; it is part of the Islas del Golfo de California flora and fauna protected area — going ashore needs a CONANP permit. No anchorage is described at the point: dive from a tended boat or with a San Carlos operator (Gary's usually runs Nolasco on Saturdays). Expect current at the point; go in settled weather.
