CABO SAN LUCAS 2014 – SUNSET BEACH RESORT - PART 1

 On March 3 we flew from Phoenix to LA and then on to Cabo San Lucas on United Airlines as the only direct flights from Phoenix were too dear. But United left a lot to be desired. A defect turned up in the plane into which we were boarded in LA. We were deplaned and boarded on another plane, getting to Cabo 3 hours late. I felt sorry for the folks returning to LA that afternoon in our plane. When we returned our plane was late getting out of Cabo, and with the shortened layover we were the last to board our connecting flight in LA for Phoenix. Pictures all were taken by my Canon A1100 IS 12 mp point and shoot camera.

 

The flight down was through clear skies, so we got some views of the Baja California peninsula and the Sea of Cortez.

This view from our balcony has a large cruise ship headed for Cabo San Lucas. Almost every morning fishing boats congregated in front of the resort and as the day wore on, moved to the right a mile or two but still in view from our Junior suite as in the next picture. All of the white dots in the ocean are sport fishing boats.

This is the walkway/cart path to the entrance to our building, no. 22. The carts are fueled by propane and hold 6 passengers in the rear and another next to the driver.

This is at the northerly end of the beach we walked. A guard patrolled the area to keep people from going further as the next beach is for the mansion of the developer. The guard also discourages guests from getting too close to incoming waves as the risk is very high of getting swept out to sea by undertow or a rogue wave.

And this is the view of most of the  resort from the spot the last picture was taken. It reminds me of the cells in a beehive.

 

This a telephoto shot from the same camera station.

 

Bougainvillea thrived in all colors along the walkways

 

Toward the south end of the beach we had this view of Pedrigal, a very upscale subdivision of the rich and famous. There will be other views of it in a following blog
