I had hoped to perhaps make a few good images of pristine, lonely, white-sand beaches, the ones I recall from my last visit to Cabo San Lucas in 1985.  Alas, resort development has taken over the coastline.  So I hired an ultralight and made some aerial photos of the existing resort development and new resort construction, from the scenic El Arco (the arch) at Land&#8217;s End, over the harbor and then along the coast from Cabo San Lucas harbor east and north to Chileno Bay, including long Medano Beach and quaint Bahia Santa Maria.  Perhaps these images will be picked up for editorial use.  Below are a few of my favorites; if you like these, you can see more <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/lightbox.php?ss=cabo_san_lucas_aerial_photo\">aerial photos of Cabo San Lucas<\/a> on my website. The flight was sure fun!
