Table of Contents

When it comes to Mexican vacation destinations, Los Cabos is one of the most popular. But you might be wondering, is Los Cabos a good place to vacation?

In this article we will share a few of the reasons that Los Cabos is a great place for your next Mexican vacation.

Is Los Cabos a Good Place to Vacation?

Scenery

The number one reason to visit Los Cabos is the scenery.

Los Cabos is located in the state of Baja California Sur, at the southern end of the Baja California Peninsula. This part of Mexico is known for its drier climate and desert landscapes, as opposed to the jungles of southern Mexico.

The area called “Los Cabos” encompasses the twin cities of Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo.

Los Cabos’ location at the tip of the Baja gives the area easy access to both the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez.

The most iconic scenery in Los Cabos is The Arch of Cabo San Lucas rock formations at Land’s End, also known as El Arco. No trip to Los Cabos is complete without visiting this magical spot where the two seas collide. You will be impressed with the imposing presence of El Arco and the other monoliths. This spot is considered one of the natural wonders of Mexico.

You can hire a tour boat at the marina to take you there, or ask your hotel concierge to book a trip for you.

While you visit El Arco, you can also visit Pelican Rock, Lover´s Beach, and Divorce Beach, on the same tour. This area is a good spot for snorkeling. There is a coral reef where you can see dozens of different tropical fish swimming around the rocks. Snorkeling at El Arco amid this breathtaking natural landscape is an unforgettable experience.

Los Cabos Beaches

Beaches

The beaches of Los Cabos are beautiful with lots of sand and sun. It is important to note that but not every beach is suitable for swimming due to high waves and a powerful undercurrent in some areas. Here is a short list of swimmable beaches in Los Cabos.

Medano Beach is considered the main swimming beach in Cabo San Lucas. It is the main tourist beach, where you can find restaurants, lounge chairs, vendors, parasailing, water sports and equipment rentals.

Chileno Beach is located in the hotel zone. It’s a quieter beach without all the amenities of Medano Beach, but it has calm water, and it’s great for swimming and snorkeling. In terms of services, there are palapas, porta-potties, and a restaurant close by.

Santa Maria Beach is one of Los Cabos’ best destinations for snorkeling because of its coral reefs. Since it’s a popular snorkel spot, it can be crowded as boats bring snorkeling tours here. There are on-site restrooms, showers and a parking lot. You can sometimes see whales breaching from this beach during whale season in January and February. If you just want to swim and not snorkel, you can choose another beach and be just as happy.

The beaches of Coral Negro and Balconcito are known as “Cannery Beaches.” They are located near the marina, before you reach Land’s End. There are large boulders on this beach, and the water is good for swimming, but it’s not as good for snorkeling as some of the other beaches.

Palmilla Beach is located in San Jose del Cabo. It’s also good for swimming and snorkeling. This beach doesn’t have any services except palapas and rental umbrellas. You’ll need to drive there, and you’ll need to bring your own food and snorkeling equipment.

Travel to Los Cabos Mexico

Proximity

Los Cabos is one of the closest Mexican beach destination cities to the United States. It’s only a two-hour flight from Phoenix or San Diego, two and a half hours from Los Angeles, and three hours from Denver, Houston and Dallas.

This close proximity to the U.S. brings American tourists, and also means that English is spoken everywhere in Los Cabos. The convenience of being able to travel to Mexico and still speak English is another reason why Los Cabos is a good place to vacation.
