Vacation
in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico by Jennifer Weiss
Transformed from a generally
sleepy town into a bustling tourist spot, Cabo
San Lucas has adapted quite well to the demands of vacationers
and continues to thrive as a top-notch destination on Mexico's Baja California
peninsula. Boasting a variety of attractions, an entertaining nightlife,
and spectacular beaches, you simply could not ask for anything more from
this little piece of paradise.
When most people head to
a waterfront city, the first thing they want to know about is the beaches.
Are they soft and sandy or hard-packed and rocky?
| What are the swimming conditions
like? And on and on until they can form an accurate picture of the sandy
stretches and all the activities they plan to pursue. Never one to disappoint,
you will certainly be pleased with Cabo San Lucas all the way from the
popular tan sands of Medano Beach to the hidden blue waters of Playa del
Amor. Even along the Corridor, the 17-mile strip that connects Cabo San
Lucas to San José del Cabo, you can find five more remote beaches
and coves to explore, including Playa Palmilla, Vista del Arco, Barco Varado
Santa María, and Chileno.
Medano Beach is always the
most-crowded of Cabo San Lucas' sandy wonders and it is here that you will
find the best swimming conditions along with some excellent people-watching
opportunities. |
Restaurants and bars line
the sand and waiters are regularly seen bringing out buckets of beer to
thirsty sunbathers who would rather not give up their prime sunning spot.
Medano Beach is also the home to many of the area's water sport rental
outlets, meaning if you get the urge to set on a jet skiing, windsurfing,
snorkeling, or kayaking excursion, a short stroll down the beach will have
you out on the water in no time flat.
Although the name Playa del
Amor typically conjures up images of serenity and solitude along a private
stretch of sand, this is actually Cabo San Lucas' most photographed patch
of sand. A must-see for every first time visitor, snorkeling around the
cliffs in the Sea of Cortez is always a memorable experience, while a stroll
along the sands on the Pacific side is bound to be awe-inspiring due to
the dramatic, pounding surf. Although Medano Beach and the Sea of Cortez
side of Playa del Amor are generally safe, most of the other beaches in
Cabo San Lucas are better-suited for sightseeing and whale watching rather
than swimming.
| As your research may dictate
and many people will tell you, one of the can't-miss activities in Cabo
San Lucas has to be sportfishing. Head over to the south side of the harbor
and you will find several fleet operators who can take you out for the
catch of a lifetime. Since this is of course Mexico, don't forget to haggle
a little to get the best price. While reeling in a hundred pound marlin
is never out of the ordinary, some of the other monsters you might expect
to find in the summer include sailfish, wahoo, and yellowfin tuna.
Boasting a variety of laid-back
restaurants and bars on Bulevar Marina, Cabo San Lucas is clearly the nightlife
capital of the Baja Peninsula. Rather than loud and flashy dance clubs,
its focuses on more casual delights such as live music and Mexican fiestas. |
Themed parties such as Mexican
fiestas are generally found at the larger hotels (Solmar, Finisterra, etc.)
and can be a really good time and great value. Live music in an adult-oriented
setting is available at the El Bistro restaurant, where jazz and relaxation
are always on the menu, while the Whale Watcher's Bar is the best place
to kick back with a margarita and soak in the sunset.
As diverse as the entertainment
options but relatively more important, Cabo San Lucas is teeming with accommodations
that are just waiting to offer you the vacation of a lifetime. While resorts
and hotels are always a possibility, why not make this the trip where you
try a vacation home rental. Cabo San Lucas vacation rentals offer all of
the comforts and privacy of home and surround you with breathtaking views
of the water out of every window. Rather than following the crowds towards
the everyday, get off the beaten path in Mexico and set your own course
in a Cabo San Lucas vacation rental.
