When people say “Cabo,” they’re usually talking about Cabo San Lucas — that lively spot at the very tip of the Baja California Peninsula where the Pacific meets the Sea of Cortez. It’s a favorite among travelers (and celebrities!) for good reason. With golden beaches, sparkling water, and that warm Baja sun, Cabo is a picture-perfect place to relax. But trust me — it’s so much more than a beautiful beach day!
Exploring, Excursions, and Experiences
The most iconic sight in Cabo is El Arco, the dramatic rock formation at Land’s End. A boat ride here is a must-do — you’ll glide past sea lions, wave at Lover’s Beach, and take in the exact spot where two seas meet.
Not much of a boat person? Head up into the mountains for adventure at Wild Canyon Park. Ziplining, ATV rides, horseback treks, even bungee jumping — this is where Cabo shows off its wild side.
And when the sun goes down, Cabo really comes alive. Music lovers can’t miss the original Cabo Wabo Cantina, founded by rock legend Sammy Hagar, or dance the night away at El Squid Roe, a three-story party that’s been going strong for decades.
“The Aquarium of the World”
The Sea of Cortez, famously called “The Aquarium of the World” by Jacques Cousteau, is full of life. Think dolphins, sea lions, manta rays, and colorful fish by the hundreds. From December to March, it’s prime whale-watching season — humpbacks, gray whales, even the mighty blue whale pass through.
If fishing is on your list, you’re in luck: Cabo is the marlin capital of the world. Not into casting a line? Try a glass-bottom boat tour to spot sea life without getting wet. Either way, the ocean here will take your breath away.
Fresh and Flavorful
Seafood lovers, get ready — Cabo is a dream for fresh catches, from ceviche to Baja-style tacos (crispy fish or shrimp with cabbage slaw — yes, please!). Not a seafood fan? No worries. You’ll find authentic Mexican flavors everywhere, from hand-made salsas to hearty traditional dishes. And of course, it wouldn’t be Cabo without tequila, mezcal, or a cold local beer to wash it all down.
Getting There
Getting to Cabo is easy, especially from the western U.S. Los Cabos International Airport is just 35–60 minutes from most resorts. Or, if you’re sailing, Cabo is a favorite stop on many cruise itineraries — you’ll tender into port and be right in the heart of the action in minutes.
