Cabo San Lucas

stands majestically at the confluence of the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortes. Once a quiet fishing town with dusty streets and smelly canneries, it has now become the Los Cabos center of tourism. Dramatic cliffs plunge into warm azure waters, and golden sands glisten along the coastline.

Cabo San Lucas is definitely one of the “in” places, where even budget travelers can delight in such treats as fabulous fish tacos, relaxing on the beach and a nonstop flow of margaritas! The city is famous for its sport fishing, and other recreation includes snorkeling, surfing, parasailing, horseback riding, whale watching and golf. The Playa Medano, just north of town, is the most popular stretch in Los Cabos (and possibly in all of Baja) for sunbathing and people watching. The El Arco, a natural rock arch that is visible from the marina, is one of the most impressive sights in Cabo. Take a short boat ride out to the arch to fully appreciate it. The Lighthouse of the False Cape, built in 1890, is set amid sand dunes on the cliffs above the Pacific. Many hotels can arrange off road vehicle tours of the lighthouse. For fabulous shopping, visit the Handicrafts Market and Plaza Amelia Wilkes, a very pretty square with a white wrought iron gazebo, shops, art galleries and restaurants. The nightlife in Cabo is legendary, with many clubs and bars located on Cardenas and Blvd. Marina, which becomes a huge laser-lit party ground at night. With all of this, Cabo San Lucas has remained a friendly town, even as it continues to grow and prosper.

Cabo San Lucas Weather & Climate
The stretch of land  immediate south of California between the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of California is Baja California, Mexico ("Baja" means "Lower.") The weather here can be divided into two distinct categories: hot deserts and cooler near the oceans. Arid or semiarid conditions are present on the Baja Peninsula and rainy days are rare outside of the 'rainy season' September through December, which is why many golfers come here to play. Storms that do occur in summertime are short, but most of them pass by to the south. Summers are quite warm with very little humidity; winters have near perfect weather. June through September is hurricane season, but hurricanes on the Pacific are much less likely than storms on the Gulf of Mexico.
