Getting to know the destination

Desert, ocean and character.

Los Cabos lies at the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula. The destination centres on Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo, linked by a Tourist Corridor of approximately 32 kilometres. Arid landscapes meet the coastlines of the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean.

Cabo San Lucas is known for its marina, nightlife and coastal excursions; El Arco is its natural icon. San José del Cabo offers a slower-paced historic centre and an established arts scene. Between them, the Tourist Corridor is lined with resorts and dramatic coastal views.

Areas & neighbourhoods

Three areas, three rhythms.

Los Cabos is not defined by a single beach. The experience changes as you move between its principal areas.

Cabo San Lucas

A lively area around the marina, beaches, restaurants and boat trips toward the region's striking rock formations.

San José del Cabo

Historic streets, plazas, galleries and a more measured pace make the old centre pleasant to explore on foot.

Tourist Corridor

The coastal stretch connecting both towns, with resort properties and views where desert landscapes approach the sea.
