This party town on the southernmost tip of the Baja California provides a stunning juxtaposition of sea, desert, and mountains. Cabo is like a little slice of heaven - there's something here for everyone. This tropical desert paradise sits at the tip of Baja California, where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific. Los Cabos offers unsurpassed recreational opportunities such as world-class fishing, golf, diving, gourmet dining, shopping and a bustling nightlife. You just can't go wrong!
Aside from enjoying the beautiful scenery and abundant wildlife, water sports, such as snorkeling, scuba diving and parasailing, are popular and plentiful activities. The marlin fishing off of Cabo is legendary, and championship golf courses are noteworthy, as well. Cabo's large dock has several shops and open-air stalls, where merchants sell everything from woven baskets to shell necklaces and coral jewelry. The town itself offers few exciting highlights, other than rocker Sammy Hagar's "Cabo Wabo Cantina," where the mostly American crowd goes wild nightly.
Cabo's signature landmark is El Arco ("The Arch"), a rock formation at the tip of "Land's End," where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez. A boat trip there is a must, if only to come face to face with the hundreds of noisy sea lions who reside on the rock formations. Cruise lines offer a myriad of excursions around El Arco, from glass bottom boats to catamaran sails. If you have time, hire a water taxi to take you to "Lovers Beach," the only beach in the world bounded by two different oceans. A whale watching excursion is another "must do," if you are there between December and March, when thousands of California gray whales and other species are making their annual migration from colder climates.
