A Tropical Village By The Sea
The main village of Cabo Pulmo is designed to feel like the South Seas. Palm-thatched roofs and low-rise construction provide a soft and secluded environment. Our home is back from the beach where the properties are more spacious and more private than they are near the ocean.

Panorama Of The Bay
Cabo Pulmo is named after the Cape in the far distance that forms the northern extent of a five-mile long bay, the southern end of which is La Serena where this photo is taken from. "Pulmo" is from the same root as "pulmonary", the main artery to the lungs. Pulmo means "breath" or "wind" referring to the northerly winds that make this coast a windsurfing Mecca in the winter months.

La Serena (Dinosaur Egg Beach)
Nobody seems to know how these thousands of egg-shaped rocks gathered here. They are a color of granite not seen anywhere nearby, a mystery that is millions of years old.

The Desert Blooms Year-Round
At first sight the dry landscape seemed stark compared to our British Columbia rainforest. But after a short time we fell in love with the profusion of tropical blossoms and the great variety of herbs, shrubs and trees.

One Fish, Two Fish......
One of the things that really clinched it for us was when we first saw the variety and colors of fish on the reef off Cabo Pulmo. We have always been avid snorkelers and this was about as good as it gets.
