About
Los Cabos sits at the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California Peninsula, where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez. It is a beach destination, and most of what draws visitors here is the coastline itself: sandy stretches, calm water on one side and open surf on the other, and a setting that changes from one bay to the next.
What to do
- Deep-sea fishing, which the area is known for, with boats heading out from its marinas.
- Golf, on courses that sit along the desert and ocean landscape.
- Water sports, from swimming and snorkeling to other activities on the water.
- Land's End, where iconic rock formations stand at the water's edge and can be seen from the shore or from a boat.
Much of the accommodation is made up of luxury resorts, many set directly on the beach. Evenings bring a lively mix of restaurants and nightlife, so a visit can be as quiet or as busy as you choose.
Planning a visit
Los Cabos suits travelers who want beaches, time on the water and a resort base close to a range of activities. Those who prefer a rural or historic town may find it more of a resort area than a traditional city. The region is easy to reach, and the surrounding coast offers plenty of options for days spent both on and off the sand.
