And it also is one of the most affordable tropical getaways. Airfare can be low when booked in a reasonable time frame and lots of resorts offer good deals and are also timeshares. Cabo is is also a popular cruise port as well. It's easy to see why it is such a popular destination, here are some of the best things to do and see in Cabo San Lucas.
El Arco. This is the most famous and best sight to see in Cabo. The Arch, also known as El Arco, is a rock formation at the bottom of the peninsula Land's End. At the marina, you can catch a glass bottom boat that will take you by the arch and get some awesome pictures. Also you'll see tons of fish and maybe some whales or sea lions.
Lover's Beach. One of the most popular beaches in Cabo is Lover's Beach, and it is over by El Arco and can be reached by boat. There are no docks at Lover's Beach so you'll have to jump out and in of the boat. Since it is popular spot, it can get crowded. There are no amenities at the beach but there are vendors who sell drinks from coolers and such. Bring your own snacks and drinks and arrange a time with your water taxi to return to pick you up.
Divorce Beach. If you get sick of Lover's Beach, well then you can simply head over towards Divorce Beach. Which is ironically connected to Lover's Beach and faces the Pacific side. It is a great place to tan and get some sun. However swimming isn't the best idea, due to the strong currents. But here you'll find some gorgeous sunsets.
Window to the Pacific. A cool hidden little gem in Cabo that not too many people know about is the Window to the Pacific. This cute little passage way is where the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean meet. And it can only be found by boat on the way towards Lover's Beach and El Arco. One blink of an eye and you just might miss it.
Whale Watching. From October to March, gray whales migrate to the Baja Peninsula to escape the wintry cold. They pass right through Cabo San Lucas and there are numerous tours that spot plenty of these majestic creatures.
Marina. The Marina Cabo San Lucas may not sound like much, but it is actually the busiest part of the city center. Which makes sense because it is a port city. The marina contains lots of restaurants and shops. It is a beautiful place to walk around and sightsee. Plus if you're sick of resort food or cruise ship food, the marina is the best place to get some tasty authentic Mexican food, plus every hour seems to be happy hour with all the drink specials.
Cabo Wabo. Cabo is known for all its bars and nightlife and one of the most famous bars in town is Cabo Wabo. It is owned by Van Halen's Sammy Hagar and Cabo Wabo actually has their own brand of tequila. If you're not into the whole nightclub scene, have no fear they have a restaurant as well. Between you and me, their bean and cheese burritos are the best thing in Cabo San Lucas.
No matter which way you choose to relax, Cabo has something to offer everyone. You'll find golfing, beaches, nature, nightlife, and activities for all ages (like ATVs, parasailing, etc). You name it chances are they got it. Check with your resort or cruise concierge to see what excursions or tours are available.
Vacationing in Cabo is all about rest and relaxation. But sometimes when you're staying at a resort you never end up leaving or exploring the city, especially if you've paid to be all inclusive. And what's the point of a vacation when you never leave the resort? Don't you want to see what that city has to offer? Sightsee and visit some of these points of interests whenever you're in Cabo, it's okay to leave the resort. You won't regret it.
Happy traveling and until next time.
