Cabo San Lucas
Just to warm you up, think of friendly people, fantastic scenery, and unbelievable weather. Spice that up with an endless variety of land and water-based activities, great restaurants, hot nightlife, and outstanding fishing and golf. Top it off with stunning villa and resort communities—all with incredible services and amenities—and you’ve got a tropical hideaway to visit again and again. And every visit will bring new delights.
Located just south of the Tropic of Cancer, on the same latitude as Hawaii’s island of Kauai and the Bahamas, Los Cabos enjoys a semi-arid, temperate climate. The towering 6,000-foot Sierra de la Laguna range provides a dramatic backdrop to breathtaking white-sand beaches. From July to October, diving, fishing, and surfing are at their finest. In winter, breathe in the fresh, cool air as you watch the grey whales frolic in the sunny Sea of Cortez.
Los Cabos boasts a fascinating and colorful history, from depredations by 17th-century pirates to the stylish sojourns of screen legends from Hollywood’s heyday. You can dig deeper into those times past by checking out our Los Cabos history article on page 3. Today, people come to relax and rejuvenate, whether that means curling up with a good book in a luxurious villa, getting out on those gleaming waters, hitting the links, or touring the back country by four-wheel drive.
Cabo San Lucas, known for its lively atmosphere, big-money billfish tournaments and upscale services, sits on the tur-quoise bay of the same name. The town overlooks El Arco, the amazing natural-rock arch at the tip of the 900-mile-long Baja California Peninsula. Here, the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez meet at Land’s End.
A popular port of call for cruise ships, Cabo has an excellent marina, and a fine swimming beach, with unequaled water sports and people-watching opportunities. Marina Boulevard offers great shopping along the waterfront, and also parallels the Malecon, a wide promenade along the marina ideal for strolling, jogging, or just hanging out.
