Stone Island has not always been a place that only had beaches to offer tourist who go to enjoy. Before the beaches the islands economy was focused on agriculture.
The locals remember that the island was born as an ejido. Its inhabitants were mostly engaged in agriculture. Which was considered the main source of employment.
The growing of the tomato and other vegetables were fruits that were produced were sold in the port of Mazatlan. Unfortunately, the lack of water for irrigation systems that community extracted through the subsoil, caused the agricultural producers to leave the activity. Several crops are still produced today. But very little, the main industry now is tourism.
