Los Cabos (Baja California Sur)

Los Cabos designs the southernmost tip of the Baja California peninsula. It is comprised of a series of resorts and small towns where visitors come to relax and enjoy the finest things in life. The two main hubs are Cabo San Lucas and the old town of San José del Cabo, founded in 1730. They offer two distinct faces of Mexico: one is luxurious and modern, while the other has a refined old-days charm. Along the 30km stretch linking both towns, you will find a series of beautiful beaches like Miraflores, Santiago, Buena Vista, Los Barriles, La Rivera and San Bartolo, which are also gaining in popularity.

Los Cabos is asserting its place as a prime golfing destination, and visitors will find some of the best golf courses in North America at exclusive locations such as Querencia, San Jose, Cabo Real and El Dorado. Great golf designers like Jack Nicklaus, Tom Fazio, Tom Weiskopf and Robert Trent II have all left their mark here, taking advantage of the spectacular natural landscapes of the peninsula.
For those who like surfing, scuba diving, water skiing, sailing and kayaking, as well as those who prefer to have a nice and quiet moment to enjoy nature, Cabo San Lucas has all it takes.

The main beaches of the area are Playa Médano, El Chileno, Playa San José, which are all popular beaches for swimming, water activities or picnics. Lovers Beach, offers picturesque views of the Pacific Ocean and the sea of Cortés, with its distinctive arch of stone towards which you may walk. Santa María, is yet another remarkable small beach where snorkelling is a delight and some water sports are available. In Costa Azul, the adventure sport type will find an excellent surfing location where the high waves come regularly. Palmilla is the most popular swimming beach in the area of San José and is often frequented by families and couples who like to enjoy the calmness of the place. At this beach, you can enjoy a great variety of food and water sports.
