Playa Encanto history

from an earlier thread I found....
Here's a bit of history of Playa Encanto's birth. Puerto Penasco's Department of Ayuntamientos (land permits) would not issue any permits to the original owners, the 5 Gamboa brothers, until there was a road to the property. The Gamboas first had to create and keep a maintained road for access if they intended to subdivide their land into development parcels. Herein lies more Mexican rules of the land, which is common in the United States as well. An ingress/egress (i.e., getting to the other side), for the purpose of getting across the properties and the property right of way allows someone the right to travel across property-owned by another person. If a road is there, we have the right to use it.

One more note. The Gamboas and Jim Perry had to petition the Mexican Federal Government to have the land rights changed from agriculture to tourism. This was a federal mandate required to continue on their project to sell prime beach lots. Several years later, the Gamboas and Jim Perry finally had the tourism permits. Thus Playa Encanto came about. The road to the beach moved many times as the weather, rain and wind, changed its course.
