Fantastic news! And cheers to all those who have fought hard to prevent it from happening. It's just a beautiful place the way it is! Small and
slow growth for locals would be fine but I'm selfish and hope it doesn't change at all. Tio

Yeah, why not small, nicely done motels that leave the shoreline alone? The mega resorts are too destructive of nature and culture.

I am sure Osprey is totally overjoyed. 
He spent many months working against the powers to be to try to stop the project.
He also enlisted many others, and worked with environmentalists to kill the project.
So far there is no other news on why Calderon called it quits. Perhaps something may be printed in the mexican newspapers.

Capt. Mike, although the closest you can fly in is to Punta Colorado air strip, You might check out the Inn at Rincon, Baja California Sur. My
daughter designed and her company built it. The place is beautiful on a white sand pristine beach, a great little get away.

Actually there are 2 dirt air strips closer to Cabo Pulmo than Punta Colorada, and, by the way, PC has been closed since the "remodel". You can land
there but need to have made arrangements with the Van Wormers before hand.
The El Rincon strip is about 1/4 mile from The Inn at Rincon and is owned by Cabo Cortes and staffed by their security people. You need prior
permission to park a plane there, something I have managed for the past 27 yrs but they are serious about drop in visitors. The Inn at Rincon is a
lovely place BUT they do not cater to individual or couples dropping in. Their focus is on larger groups of people, not your typical motel/hotel.
Further south is Los Frailes but this strip has been closed for the past couple of years and has no facilities as the Hotel Los Frailes has been
closed for quite a few years. They have security people and there are barrels on the strip.

Wow, Even better information, thanks Floatflyer.
Yep, Rincon Inn is a very special place, not at all typical, well worth checking out their web site, great place for a family reunion, wedding, or
Corporation Meeting getaway.
