Cabo Pulmo National Park
Hi folks,
Here are some photos from Cabo Pulmo taken a few days ago. A friend of mine and I spent 4 days camped there are will return again next week to shoot
some more video and explore the region. It's a great location with the only drawback being the obnoxious amount of fenced in parcels of property with
nothing on them except for a private property sign. I would imagine foreign investment is waiting for the paved road before the ruining the area.
With some snooping around you can get to the beaches but it's not very obvious. I'll try and gather some GPS points where the roads go to the
beaches, if there are any, on my next trip out.

That's my understanding as well but man there were a lot of fences and from I could see, very little access to anything.

The fences on the East Cape really bummed me out too.
The fences are to prevent squatters from moving on to the property.
The squatters can eventually gain rights to live on undeveloped land.
No worries

They're very unfortunate as there were some beautiful spots to check outwith crumbling buildings sitting on the land. Ah well, there are still other
access areas so it's not too bad. As I said, they're ugly and to me, a sign of development that will eventually exclude Mexicans access to their
lovely coast line and beaches.

Drove it south to north a couple years ago, and yes its pretty barren but for the near-continuous mega fencing. This did keep me from any exploring
and I suppose keeps squatters off. I would have loved to go adventuring and poking around the massive undeveloped and unspoiled land, but... not an
option.
I was surprised, though, and pleased that the government has provided beach access and rows of palapas at regular intervals along the way. They were
not marked with signs but they seemed apparent and accessible, I felt.
All in all, still a delightful little trip with plenty of solitude.

I drove the loop south to north during the week before Easter. I was surprised by all the fence as well, but with all the campers for the holiday, it
was easy to see the camping areas and access points. It would certainly be better without the fencing but they have pretty regular access available.
The fencing and signs certainly foul the views.

Excellent photos. Txs for sharing.
Had no idea that there are Drive In Theaters in Baja!
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

My buddy and I roughing it watching The IT Crowd on my tablet by the fire. The ocean was just too noisy though so we wrote a letter to the board of
tourism to tell it to keep it down.
