Here is an excerpt of his interview with CaboVillas where he shares some memories and historic photos of these trips dating back to the 1970’s and 1980’s. Most resorts were located on the Sea of Cortez coast and at the tip of the peninsula. Therefore, most of their clientele arrived by boat and private aircraft.

Does anyone have any information about the image on the left above? This aerial view of Land’s End at Cabo San Lucas was found on the internet but I have not been able to exactly identify the date it was taken, the source of the image or the owner. Any information would be appreciated.
This is another version of the Land’s End image from the internet. This shows more of Medano Beach. Exact date taken and the source of the image or the owner is unknown.
