Cabo San Lucas Mexico is my all time favorite place to vacation!  I have been to Cabo several times and love it more each visit!  Leave all your cares behind in Los Cabos, where the desert meets the sea.  The area offers a collection of the peaceful and the exciting that you are free to choose from, depending on your mood.  Spend the day teeing off on a world-class golf course, deep-sea fishing in the Pacific or sunning yourself by the pool at your luxurious resort.  At night, dine in one of the many elite restaurants and dance the night away in an exhilarating nightclub.  Los Cabos is considered Mexico’s most exclusive destinations. 

I wanted to share some of my favorite activities in Cabo. 

Daytime Fun:

Buccaneer Queen Pirate Ship – Yes, a real pirate ship! I’ve done this several times.  It’s a snorkel/booze cruise, and it was so much fun.  Drinks and snacks are included

Deep Sea Fishing – Cabo is renowned for their deep sea fishing.  It is a fun day at sea, but can be expensive.  We used Pisces on our trip and they were fantastic.  They really catered to our group on the boat.  The trip included fishing, a box lunch, beer, etc.  On our last trip 3 out of 4 of us caught awesome fish.  Mine was an 8-foot marlin.  Okay, can you really say I caught it?  They bait the hook and take you where the fish are. If it happens to be your turn in the fishing seat, you are in luck! I could only reel for about 15 minutes before my arms were shaking like jello so we had to take turns reeling him in.  The crew made the trip extremely fun! 

Adventure tours – These include ATV, dune buggies, and jeep tours in the desert.  I haven’t done this, but those who have love it!

Golf – Cabo is also well known as a golf destination.  Tee off on some of the most beautiful golf courses in the world.  

Whale-watching – Every autumn, thousands of Gray whales make their annual 6,000 mile migration from the summer feeding grounds of Alaska to the calving grounds of Cabo San Lucas, the Baja and the Sea of Cortez.  If you’re going to Cabo San Lucas between December and March, you will likely be treated to seeing some of these gentle giants. 

Zip lining – Soar high above the canyon floor on some of the fastest zip lines in Mexico. 

Cabo San Lucas glass blowing factory – This place is a family-friendly place where the entire group can have fun. Witness the incredible art of glass blowing as you tour the factory.

 
Fabulous Dining:

MiCasa – This Mexican restaurant has a great atmosphere and great ambiance.  Oh, and they usually have a caricature artist there. Ours was great!

The Office – My favorite place to dine!  Sit on the beach, dig your toes in the sand, and enjoy some great steak and margaritas.  Yes I’m from Nebraska.  I remember their steak and shrimp being fantastic. 

The Shrimp Factory – This restaurant offers fresh fish, shrimp and lobster each day. 

The Trailer Park - Another favorite!  Open air dining, rustic atmosphere and great food. 

 
Hot Nightlife:

Cabo Wabo (Sammy Hagar’s bar) – LOVE IT! Drink some waboritas or I Can’t Drive 55!!!  But watch out because they are mighty powerful.  The bar doesn’t get hoppin’ till late at night.  It’s great after the Giggling Marlin show is over. There are often famous musicians playing at Cabo Wabo. Imagine walking into the bar and Chad Kroeger from Nickelback is playing, or Sammy Hagar himself! 

Giggling Marlin – Great place! The gimmick at this bar is that to drink a shot, they will hang you upside down by your ankles! Do not be discouraged by this as they also put on some great entertainment and serve excellent food! 

Solomon’s Landing – One of my first loves.  It’s a nice place to sit and watch people come of the boats in dock. 

El Squid Roe – Nightclub atmosphere. But please….someone stay up late enough to hang out here with me.  It’s a hopping place!

 
Swimming:
On the Pacific side swimming is dangerous due to the undertow and riptides.  On the Sea of Cortez, swimming is possible. The resorts will have flags to warn you of the dangers.  Swimming in the Cabo area can be dangerous so always use caution.  There are safe areas for snorkeling and scuba diving.

Weather:
Cabo is blessed with near perfect weather! The average year round temp is 78°F.

Cabo is truly one of my favorite vacation destinations! I hope you will enjoy it as much as I have!
