San Jose del Cabo is a fine place to unwind. Of the two Cabos, San Jose is the more sedate, but offers horse racing across the sandy beaches, golf, shopping and an authentic Mexican flavor.

Cabo San Lucas is the faster-growing of the two, with a population of 25,000. In the past few years, Cabo San Lucas has added swanky new hotels and sleek condos to round out this vacation destination. Superb  sport fishing put Cabo San Lucas on the map, but non-fishermen will enjoy the thriving beach community. Snorkeling gear, boats, waverunners, kayaks, paddleboats and windsurf boards are all available for the active beachcomber.  

Golf is big news here in southern Baja. In Cabo you can try your skills on nearly 100 hotels rated for championship play. A spectacular landscape of desert, mountains and sea forms the ideal backdrop for some of the best 
and most impressively designed golf courses in the continent.

Hotel location

Most hotel are superior, deluxe and first class hotels. The most important thing is to make sure the hotel you are staying at is where you want to 
be located. Some hotels are up to 20 miles away from Downtown.  If you planned your vacation around the excitement and nightlife in Cabo, be sure your hotel is located in or near Cabo.  If you planned your vacation to enjoy some golf and quiet time spent around a pool and a more low keyed nightlife 
in San Jose del Cabo, then make sure that the hotel location is in a more secluded area. There are also a number of fine hotels along the Corridor that allow a relatively close distance to both Towns.

Day time fun...

There are endless activities to experience in Los Cabos, from the world's 
best Sport fishing to fine dining and shopping.  Here are a list of things 
you can do while in Los Cabos:

The Sport Fishing is second to none (Cabo is the Sports Fishing Capital of 
the World). To battle a 500lbs marlin for hours is a thrill of a life time, and
then to release your catch for another angler to catch some other day is 
a very satisfying feeling.

Grey Whales migrate by Los Cabos for about 4 months every year. To see 
one of these massive animals up close is a truly an experience you'll never
forget. The best time to see these huge creatures is from about mid
November to mid March.

The coast line from Cabo to San Jose boasts some of the best snorkeling anywhere. Santa Maria Bay is a great spot for snorkeling along with Chilano Reef.  There are a number of SCUBA dive shops in Los Cabos and all are qualified to take you on your undersea adventure.  The Sand falls at land's End are a must see for the diving enthusiast.

There are many other water activities to enjoy from wave runner rentals, sailing rentals, water taxi and glass bottom boat tours, parasailing, surfing 
and wind surfing.  Parasailing is growing in popularity.  You can also enjoy 
a mid morning cruise on one of the snorkeling / party cruises offered. For a cost of between $30 and $50 you can spend about 3 1/2 hours aboard a 
boat with 20 or 30 others and enjoy the scenery along the coast line and snorkel at one of the many stops, lunch and drinks are almost always 
included on these cruises.

For the land lovers, the beach is the place everybody that comes to Los Cabos spends at least a little time visiting.  If you want to spend your day lounging in the sun and getting a little happy hour type action while doing 
it, there are a number of beach side bars and restaurants on the main 
resort beach to keep you entertained the entire day with Places like 
Billygans, The Office, The Sand Bar and Las Palmas. 

Golf is big news here in southern Baja. In Cabo you can try your skills on nearly 100 hotels rated for championship play. A spectacular landscape of desert, mountains and sea forms the ideal backdrop for some of the best 
and most impressively designed golf courses in the continent.

A few of the larger hotels provide horse back tours of the older trails off 
the beach. There is one other place you have to take the time to see...
There aren't any "organized" tours to go there, but if you ask a local, rent 
a jeep, there is Los Cascadas (The Waterfalls). This area is well off the 
main roads and is found west of the airport.  The tropical setting is some
thing you would not expect to find in Baja. A series of waterfalls and a
forest of trees with tropical birds flying everywhere is breath taking. Take 
a picnic basket and enjoy the surroundings!

The Down town area has many shops, and activities...if a authentic Bull 
fight is something you want to see, every week one takes place at the 
east end of town. Most all the restaurants have a day time happy hour 
and great food. If souvenirs are a must to take home, there are hundreds 
of shops and market areas to buy these. We suggest you shop around for
the best deal and barter with the sales person as they appreciate a person
that can make a deal as well as the next. There is also a sports bar in town
for the track enthusiast, where you can bet on horses, dogs, and just about any other sporting event, sit back watch one of 24 TV's all with live satellite feeds and enjoy.

Food

There are more than 400 restaurants in Los Cabos, and finding a good meal 
is easy!  There are a number of must do 5 star Restaurants such as Da
Giorgio's out at the point across from Land's End the view itself makes the
meal great and the food is first class. Another must do Classy Restaurant is
Casa Rafael's near the main beach in Cabo, the piano bar, the world class
food and the 2,400 gallon full view salt water fish tank placed in the middle 
of the dining area is a perfect setting for a romantic dinner. If a more casual
setting is your style then Cabo is full of restaurants to meet your needs.
Some great locations are the Baja Cantina which also has one of the best
happy hours in town from 2pm to 7pm (great specials such as 10 peso drinks) For those that need that American fast food taste, most of the major franchises have come to Cabo and you can get your fill of these as well.

Nightlife and Happy Hours

Downtown Cabo is known for the nightlife  - it is second to none !
If an early start is your plan, at the southwest end of town you can find one of the best happy hours (or should we say 5 hours). Starting at 2:00pm the Baja Cantina comes alive and is a favorite of many tourist and locals alike, from there you have a choice of 100's of restaurants, nightclubs, and bars 
to keep you busy the entire night!
