The island community continues to grow at an astonishing pace. In October 2016, there were 4 house starts to add to the 29 existing homes on the island. 5 years ago, there were no homes at all. Three full time couples now live on the island beach. And the fourth full time group are the Playa Tesoro staff. One fun loving, full time couple are in the second year of a well run turtle hatchery. Approximately 12,000 eggs are in the sacks hatching that are collected from the beaches of the island. Each night at 5pm, the various renters and owners along the beach gather at the hatchery and see over 200 baby sea turtles be released into the Pacifc Ocean. A real treat.

In November 2016, 8 years after beginning this project, we are very proud to announce that the final connections for the Playa Tesoro community water system are complete. Both the Primary water system supplying the development from over 17 kilometer of pipeline, and the emergency supply tank on the Playa Tesoro property are fully operating. The main tank of 20,000 gallons was moved onto its concrete base a few days ago. The emergency tank of 10,000 gallons was hooked into the main line and stands ready for any interuption in supply from the main tank. This is an excellent, private water supply of perfect drinking water.
