Cabo San Lucas

If you are new to Cabo San Lucas—or simply Cabo, as it is often known—it will not take you long to get your bearings. Just remember, Cabo is at the very southern tip of the Baja Peninsula, so the water from town is always south. The distinctive sea arches at Land's End are to the southwest. If you see land ahead of you it has to be east or north; check where the water is and you will know for sure. The airport is north of San Jose Del Cabo (which, together with Cabo San Lucas, makes up the area called Los Cabos) and by taking Mexican Hwy 1, you can travel from San Jose to the west and 20 miles to Cabo San Lucas. As the highway enters town it becomes Lazaro Cardenas. This primary street meets Boulevard Marina at the Marina area and ends there, branching into many other streets. The resident population here is only 40,000, so the city is not very large. It is however, confusing. Don't be surprised when addresses have no numbers.

I've owned a timeshare for a week in June for 15 years and use it. The same familiar faces of both guests and staff at the Solmar Resort is comforting. I find less time to go into town because I'm enjoying more time just relaxing at the ************* a 2nd home to many of us. You're even welcomed at the front desk with a "Welcome home" upon arrival.

Cabo San Lucas and surrounding area had flourished in 15 years but I see cantinas replaced by jewelry stores. Less rowdy fun but more sophistication. A great vacation spot.

I'd been to the Cabo area twice then after we were married, my wife and I vacationed there 2 more times. Favorite hotel is the Pueblo Bonito Rosa. Favorite restaurant the Maison de Angeles (very romantic eating under the stars). We prefer San Jose more than San Lucas. It's quieter and has 15 to 16 quality art galleries. (Also worthwhile is a trip to Todo Santos where there are additional galleries and restaurants.) For a good snorkle trip head to Cabo Pulmo.... More
