Flanked by the striking Sierra de la Laguna Mountains and bordered by the sparkling waters where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez lies Los Cabos—Mexico’s premier resort destination offering limitless possibilities for adventure, indulgence, and revelry. Sun, surf, and celebrations await in this Baja paradise.
With an average of 300 sunny days a year and temperatures hovering comfortably in the 70s and 80s throughout the year, Los Cabos caters to sun- and water-starved Northerners:
- Soak up the rays on the iconic Medano Beach where partygoers congregate.
- Charter a yacht and sail to the live coral reef at Cabo Pulmo for unparalleled snorkeling and diving with a rainbow of tropical fish and mighty whale sharks.
- Traverse the desert mountains on ATVs, then wind through the S-curve to reach the distinctive natural rock formation known as El Arco at Land’s End.
The Los Cabos local culture is enriched by the blend of Spanish, Mexican, and American influences mixed with the customs of indigenous tribes. Traditional Mexican dishes like fish tacos, ceviche, and chiles rellenos appear on menus next to steak, sushi, and gourmet cuisine.
Handmade crafts, Mexican blankets, pottery, and keepsakes can be found at shops and markets around the art district and marina. Golfing, sportfishing, snorkeling, and horseback riding on the beach are favorite activities for many visitors looking to relax or discover outdoor adventures during their stay.
Los Cabos really comes to life when the sun sets. Savor woodfire-grilled local specialties like tender carne asada tacos paired with a tangy margarita before heading to the array of clubs and music venues. During the Los Cabos International Film Festival each November, A-listers arrive to preview upcoming releases.
No visit to Los Cabos would be complete without attending the two-month long Festival of San José del Cabo. The festival features concerts, rodeos, traditional dancing, and a parade of towering floats with cascades of vibrant flowers. Situated at the confluence of indigenous, Catholic, and American cultures, Los Cabos seamlessly fuses hedonism with holiness in a beguiling paradox.
With new luxury hotel developments continually enhancing amenities for affluent travelers while keeping beloved beaches public, Los Cabos retains its carefree, youthful character. Simply put, Los Cabos offers the best Mexico has to offer with no shortage of sun, surf, or celebrations in this Baja paradise.
