{{lang|es|Punta Abreojos}} ({{coor|26|42|52|N|113|34|20|W}})[1] is a fishing town in Mulegé Municipality, Baja California Sur, Mexico. It is located at the entrance to {{lang|es|Laguna San Ignacio}}, a Biosphere Reserve which is frequently visited by pods of grey whales.[2] An isolated hill, {{convert|95|m}} high, rises a few miles behind the town, and is a conspicuous landmark for sailors.[1] Several lighthouses are situated near the town.[2] {{lang|es|Punta Abreojos}} was named by Francisco de Bolaños, whose expedition reached the headland, but no further.[3] {{lang|es|Abreojos}} means "open your eyes", and refers to the treacherous sailing conditions, with many rocks and reefs.[4]{{lang|es|Punta Abreojos}} is reached by a long road with few features of interest.[5] It comprises 500 houses, some grocery stores, an airstrip, a fish packing plant, a hardware store, churches, schools and a medical clinic.[2][5] The town's main economic output is in fishing for California spiny lobster and abalone.[5]See also
