Experience Baja

Los Cabos

Sitting on the tip of the Baja Peninsula lies Cabo San Lucas, where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific and where the mountain range literally tumbles into the ocean. I've heard this spot described as "Scottsdale with an ocean," and that may be an accurate description: the climate is desert, the resorts are trendy, and golfing abounds. While most of the resort beaches are not swimmable due to the strong undercurrent, there are still swimmable beaches in the destination (book as an excursion or explore on your own). The destination is also popular for deep-sea fishing.

 

Resort areas

  • San Jose Del Cabo. A charming, quiet, and laid-back town with colonial roots. Several hotels and resorts are located here.
  • Cabo San Lucas. A lively downtown and marina area noted for its vitality, shopping, and nightlife. This is also where the Arch & the Lands End is located. There are several hotels and condo-style properties.
  • The Corridor. A 20-mile stretch of beach area between the two "Cabos." Along the corridor, there are resorts to suit all styles and budgets. You’ll also find championship golf courses.
