Are you thinking that a little excursion to Cabo San Lucas might do you some good? You are probably more right than you know. Located at the tip of Baja California it has been a tourist destination for decades. By the Sea of Cortez to its east and the Pacific Ocean on its west, this is one of the best peninsulas to vacation at in the world.
With all of the infrastructure of a five star tourist destination Cabo retains its small town feel. You can still easily find a beach that is secluded enough to walk for miles without finding another soul. It has first class dining and a robust nightlife. Here are a few more of the most enticing adventures to be had in Cabo.
Arrival, Love at First Sight
If you opted out of the historic drive through Baja California on Highway 1, you have most likely landed at the Los Cabos International Airport. On your short drive from the airport to Cabo San Lucas you will drive through San Jose del Cabo, many refer to this as “Old Town” and it delivers a quaint traditional feeling. It is also home to some of the most luxurious accommodations. With many golf resorts with ocean views and places you can enjoy fine dining.
After you unpack your bags and head out to plant your toes in the soft white sand, you will probably be hit with hunger pains. Head into town for some fresh seafood and finish your day with drinks on the town. Cabo San Lucas is known for its lively nightlife, so if you are looking for refinement you will undoubtedly be disappointed. However if you came to let your hair down then order a shot of tequila and an ice cold cerveza… and don’t forget the lime!
Day One, Outdoor Adventure off the Grid
There is nothing more appealing than waking to the sound of the ocean surf pounding on the shore. If you remembered to take your aspirin before it was lights out, you will probably be in good shape to face the day. When you finally roll out of bed, make your way to the beach and scout out a vendor that rents kayaks.
Once you have plenty of drinking water for the day and enough supplies set out for El Arco and Playa del Amor. Translated into English these locations are called Lands End and Lovers Beach. You will find these tranquil spots “muy bueno” to share time with that special someone. If you are alone that’s ok too, these are definitely must see places when you are here.
Sport Fishing, A Must Do
If you make it back early enough, you can head down to the docks and scout out a fishing charter for the day. If you are smart you will have made your reservations early! Why, because sport fishing is what Cabo is known for. Its location between the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean produces some of the best big game fishing in the world. Even if you are not into fishing, you have to do this. A Cabo fishing charter is an experience that you will not forget! Make your reservations when you book your flight or you might miss out on a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
