Cabo San Lucas Marina

We also have to talk about the yachts and the journeys onboard that are very common in this part of the world.

There is a marina in Cabo San Lucas, supported by the IGY, which has 380 floating concrete docks, from 20 to 200 ft long, including the best quality in service and facilities that can be expected from a luxury marina.

It is the host for most of the famous fishing tournaments in the region and it is strategically located in the port of Cabo San Lucas.

Michelin Stars Destination

On the other side, Los Cabos also offers in San Jose del Cabo a small Mexican town where first class restaurants can be found, being Los Cabos  the place with the most Michelin Star Restaurants.

All of this is surrounded in a colorful Mexican taste and makes San Jose a town with modern mixtures but completely traditional.

Los Cabos is also a place where millions of dollars have been invested in real estate on projects like what we know as “Second Homes” for Americans and Canadians, giving Los Cabos a very high lifestyle, since the average houses that can be found are easily above 1 million dollars.

These are also a great vehicle for vacations, people can also rent these mansions to enjoy, sit back and relax with the incredible service offered in this places.

 

 

 

 

Relax for your Senses

After finding so many activities in Los Cabos you can go ahead and relax in one of its multiple and distinguished Spas.

These can be described as places of harmony and relaxation, where they worship the water emanating from its environment; settings that are slowly revolutionizing traditional treatments by incorporating the wealth of the floral diversity that can be found in its deserted landscapes.

This way, Los Cabos has Spas where millenary methods are commonly used and proved to be perfect for integrally healing the body and soul, such as the ones with pre-Columbian and Oriental heritage that are mixed with the newest procedures and technology. For this reason it isn’t hard to find Spas offering temascal baths, Vichy showers and hydro massages.

 

The Color of the Beaches

Another “must” in Los Cabos has to be the visits to any of the nearby towns, and our recommendation is to get out of Los Cabos and head to the population of Todos los Santos that is located  78 km to the north of Los Cabos.

 

 

 

 

 

In this place you will be able to admire the colorful ancient houses accompanying the Mission of Nuestra Señora del Pilar, the main architectonic monument in the zone.

On the south side you can take long walks through the beaches soaked by the Pacific Ocean, ideal for Sport Fishing with species like: red porgy and sharks or taking a boat ride a visit the different sea lion colonies, famous in the waters of Todos Santos.

When returning to firm ground you can cross Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo to continue with your journey, this time heading north of the peninsula on the freeway toward the populations of Los Barriles and Buenavista, where you can go refresh in the sea and walk on the beach.

Very close is La Playita, famous for its cooking with shrimp and first class fish. After a good rest you can now take the no. 9 freeway northeast bound and on the crossing with no.1 you will find a spherical structure, known as the “Cancer Tropic Monument”, the same that points the exact place where this point crosses Mexican geography, a curious fact on this route.

Los Cabos is without a doubt the best nautical destination in Mexico and it is a privilege to be able to visit its countless places with the highest quality and famous service, all combined with the luck of having the richest sea in the world and the unmistakable Mexican hospitality.
