Continue to the 23 KM marker or 17 miles on the highway to Caborca, until the Miramar turn off. Watch for an electrical power sub station on the south side of the road and two large concrete columns to the right.  Turn right towards the beach between the columns.  You are now on the “Miramar Road”.
