At the tip of the Baja Peninsula, land ends and the Gulf of California and Pacific Ocean begin. Azure waters below jagged cliffs; quiet coves teeming with marine life; desert vistas and rugged mountains–these all come together in a wash of vibrant color in Los Cabos. Sunny days and low humidity make the lively town of Cabo San Lucas a favorite beach vacation destination. Enjoy deep sea fishing, championship golf, and the area’s landmark rock formation, El Arco, adjacent to Lover’s Beach. A celebrity hot spot, few places can compete with Cabo’s nightlife. Hop on a bar crawl and check out Sammy Hagar’s popular Cabo Wabo Cantina. Tone it down in San Jose del Cabo, an artsy, relaxed town reminiscent of an older time. But don’t be deceived—its championship golf, and galleries that host the popular Art Walk, are as modern as anything you’ll find in Mexico. In Puerto Los Cabos, three miles of white sand and oceanfront properties at the base of the Sierra de la Laguna create a luxurious gateway between San Jose del Cabo and the rugged East Cape coastline. Between them all is the 20-mile Corridor, home to countless high-end resorts and more world-class golf.110
