    If you saw the Anthony Bourdain No Reservations, PR episode you know the story about the man who…read morelost his cow through an ocean blowhole at Isabela. Having followed Anthony to the Tiki Bar in Hawaii, and other places, and having preceded him to Popotla Beach in Baja, and other places, we were determined to find the Isabela blowhole. In typical fashion, Mr. Bourdain was a little cryptic about his locations, and that didn't help. We searched and searched and searched and finally found the blowhole. A sign would come in handy, but noooooooooo. The Isabela Blowhole is located in a rocky and sandy shoreline area called Baño La Princesa, which is just north of Jobos Beach. You park at the bottom by the beach restaurants and you walk up the hill - and there it is. But it wasn't blowin'. Blowholes can be that way. To work their best magic, they need a high tide, a decent swell and strong winds. Oh yes, and a hole or two in the rock. Hawaii does good blowholes with that lava rock. The blowholes I currently remember seeing are: Spouting Horn, west of Poipu, Kauai; Halona Blow Hole, south end of Sandy Beach, Oahu; Nakalele Blow Hole, West Maui; La Bufadora, north of Ensanada, Baja MX, and; the Kiama Blowhole south of Sydney, Australia (up to 60 meters high). Maybe I'm a blowhole groupie. It's beginning to sound that way. Sorry my pictures suck on this one. Blurry and all. When it 'aint blowin', what do you really take a picture of anyway? This non-performing hole is lucky to get three stars. But I have been kinda hard on PR the Welfare Island, so it gets a break on this one.

    Definitely worth checking out if you are in Isabella! It is an old folk tale of this man who lost…read morehis cow at the blow hole. It has a great view of the beach and isn't a far walk from parking. It's a little rocky so I suggest sneakers. Fun little spot!
