Cabo San Lucas, known for its lively atmosphere, big-money billfish tournaments and upscale services, sits on the turquoise bay of the same name. The town overlooks El Arco, the amazing natural-rock arch at the tip of the 900-mile-long Baja California Peninsula. Here, the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez meet at Land’s End.

A popular port of call for cruise ships, Cabo has an excellent marina, and a fine swimming beach, with unequaled water sports and people-watching opportunities. Marina Boulevard offers great shopping along the waterfront, and also parallels the Malecon, a wide promenade along the marina ideal for strolling, jogging, or just hanging out.

In the 20-mile oceanfront Tourist Corridor between Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo, Los Cabos has found new fame for its oceanfront championship golf courses. Designed by some of the biggest names in golf, they wind through the Corridor with dramatic views of the shimmering sea.

San José del Cabo, the quiet side of Los Cabos, features a charming downtown area with 18th-century architecture, a relaxed pace, and warm, old-fashioned hospitality. Savor the pleasures of small-town life—stroll through San José’s spacious town square, surrounded by intimate courtyard cafés, galleries, and boutiques.
