Punta Colonet (Chuwílo Ksaay (''dry arroyo'') in the Kiliwa language), 115 km south of Ensenada on Mexican Federal Highway 1, 30 km north of Camalú, Baja California, is one of the most productive agricultural areas in Mexico's Baja California peninsula. Technically, it is a geographic feature, a cape, but the area has two communities: ''Ejido México'' (aka ''Ejido Punta Colonet''), and ''Ejido 27 de Enero'', on opposite sides of the Colonet Creek (''Arroyo Colonet''), part of Ensenada Municipality. Its proximity to Mexican Federal Highway 1 and the United States have spurred the growth of large commercial farming in the area. Punta Colonet is a beautiful, unspoiled area where orchards and farms run right to the ocean's edge. The point, nearby town, bay, and cape are reputedly named after Captain James Colnett, a British sea captain who explored this section of the Pacific coast in the late 18th century. There has been tremendous growth in the region over the last five years. The population has grown from 2,346 in 2000 Census to 3,278 in 2010 Census for ''Ejido Colonet'', with ''27 de Enero'' home to 474 people in 2010.〔http://www.citypopulation.de/php/mexico-bajacalifornia.php〕 ==History== During Prohibition, the Canadian rum-runner ''Malahat'' allegedly anchored off Cape Colnett as a mother ship, providing liquor which was smuggled north to San Diego.
