Located at the tip of Mexico’s Baja California Sur peninsula, Los Cabos—primarily known for its two main towns, Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo—never fails to deliver on a good time, but the Mexican municipality is more than just tequila shots and beaches (although you’ll find both in abundance). Journey to San Jose del Cabo, Los Cabos’ lesser-known resort town, which offers both action-packed and laid-back adventures and city tours. Go on a scuba-diving or snorkeling tour to get an under-the-sea look at the local marine life, set out on a whale-watching cruise to spot humpbacks, or gallop on horseback across the sandy coastline. Aside from its party-heavy nightlife, Cabo San Lucas is actually perfect for relaxation, recreation, and water activities. If you’re craving outdoor recreation, Cabo is home to multiple golf courses with unbeatable views of the surrounding area. Or you can skim across the water on a charming sunset cruise to see where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific Ocean. For a more thrill-focused jaunt, bump up your adrenaline with an off-road ATV tour or desert-canyon zipline tour. Once you’ve had your fill of adventure, relax on Playa del Amor, also known as Lover's Beach, and catch sight of El Arco’s distinctive rock arch from afar. And music fanatics can’t miss a visit to Todos Santos (roughly an hour drive from Cabo) to see the Hotel California that inspired the Eagles’ 1976 hit song.
Located on the tip of Mexico's Baja California peninsula, Los Cabos boasts plenty of sunshine and beachy scenery, thanks to its position along the Sea of Cortez and Pacific Ocean. In addition to relaxing on the sun-soaked beaches, travelers to Los Cabos hit the water: snorkeling, whale watching, and parasailing.
...MoreThe rock formations known as Land's End (El Arco) and found at the southern end of Cabo San Lucas serve as one of the most iconic images of the area, so have your camera ready. Hop aboard a water taxi or boat tour to get the best view from the azure waves.
...MoreFrom laid-back beach bars to thumping clubs, you’ll find something of interest within Cabo San Lucas’ thriving nightlife scene, most of which is on the two main streets: Lázaro Cárdenas and Paseo de la Marina. Two nightlife mainstays—El Squid Roe and Cabo Wabo Cantina—remain tourist favorites for their colorful, lively atmospheres.
...MoreNo. Cabo San Lucas is one of the main towns (the other being San Jose del Cabo) in the Los Cabos municipality, which stretches across Mexico's Baja California peninsula. In the 1970s, the government made Cabo San Lucas into a tourist destination; due to its popularity, it became synonymous with Los Cabos.
...MoreYes. Compared to other Mexican destinations, Los Cabos is pricey. Like most beach locales, there's both high-end luxury resorts and less costly options. Transportation and meals tend to be more expensive than in other vacation spots like Cancun. Flights to Los Cabos can be expensive, especially in peak season.
...MoreYes. Los Cabos is safe overall, but travelers should remain aware of their surroundings. That’s because petty crimes such as pickpocketing, cell phone theft, and purse snatching can still occur. If you go out at night, it’s recommended that you take a taxi back to your accommodations instead of walking.
