Cabo San Lucas is located on the southernmost tip of the Baja Peninsula. Also know as Land’s End, Cabo is home to the famous Arch and the private gated community of Pedregal. Nestled in the hills above the center of town, Pedregal is Baja’s version of Hollywood and the playground of the rich and famous.
Once a sleepy fishing village, Cabo San Lucas has grown to become one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Cabo is now the number one tourist destination in all of Mexico. From weddings to bachelor parties, family vacations, and relaxing weekend getaways, Cabo has something for everyone.
Beaches:
Playa Pedregal (Pedregal Beach) is located within the private gated community of Pedregal and is one of Cabo’s hidden gems. This beach is located on the Pacific side of land’s end and is not accessible by the public, making it a great place to get away. Although the strong current makes it unsafe for swimming, it is a perfect setting for picnics, walks on the beach and terrific surf fishing.
The closest swimming beach, Playa El Médano (Medano Beach), extends through the main beachfront hotel zone and abounds with beach activity. On El Médano, Cabo’s main beach, you’ll find it easy to rent the water toy of your choice, from high-powered wave runners to quiet self-powered sea kayaks. Stretching for two miles away from town, the sloped soft sand beach provides all the challenge the serious runner wants. Access to this beach is available at Km. 1 near Club Cascadas de Baja or near the harbor entrance at the Costa Real Cabo Resort Beach Club or through any of the hotels and restaurants along this long stretch of beach. This beach is two miles from the Villa.
Lover’s Beach is another must, but to get to this hidden cove you’ll need some kind of floating transportation. We recommend hiring a water taxi at the marina. The captain will take you on an informative tour of the diving areas around the arch (El Arco), point out Lover’s Beach, then go around the popular point for a wonderful view of the dramatic area where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific Ocean.
Cabo weather is some of the best in the world with about 340 days of sunshine per year. Cabo San Lucas lies within the tropics where temperatures vary only about 20 degrees (F) between the hottest and coldest months of the year. The weather is great most of the time, but the best weather is November through January when the temperatures average in the 80’s, and the ocean water is still warm. The hottest time is in August and September. And due to hurricane activity in the Pacific, it is humid those two months. The rest of the year, Cabo San Lucas weather is perfect and has very low humidity. The weather in Cabo is warm enough that you can go to the beach year round. The sun is more intense and you will want to bring your sun glasses and sun screen. At night it does cool down, so you might need a light sweater. Also if you are staying on the Pacific side, you can expect the temperature to be 10 degrees cooler than the Sea of Cortez side, so pack accordingly. Cabo San Lucas gets very little rain and it’s not unusual to go several months with barely a drop. When it does rain, it usually does so in the middle of the night so that we are not inconvenienced too much. That’s one of the many reasons why Cabo weather is some of the best in the world!
AirBnb guests can't say enough good things about bcs villas
We stayed here Feb 28-March 3rd for my best friend’s bachelorette party. We originally booked the house based on the reviews (we spent A LOT of time reading the reviews of other houses). It was such a magical experience. From the moment we booked, Brian and Mark were on top of it – making sure we were connected with Juan the house manager. I tend to be a bit neurotic with my email communication – and both Mark and Brian, Juan and his wife were all so timely with their responses (Brian even got on the phone with me to talk about the house and how they came to know Juan – which is such a sweet story, btw!)
We had 8 girls total, and honestly felt like queens with how much space we had . . . and the VIEW! We had 2 groups arrive day 1, and 1 day 2 – all who were greeted at the airport with a sign with our name on it ready to drive us to the house. Juan was there to greet us, with the chef – who had prepared homemade salsa, guac, and margaritas!! Juan walked us through the house to make sure we knew how to operate everything (when we forgot he answered our calls/texts right away). We even ran out of wine 2 different times, and Juan showed up within 30 mins with extra vino! We had the house stocked when we got there (which i HIGHLY recommend), and had the chef with an assistant one night. The chef was DELICIOUS! Amazing! Seriously so good, and the presentation was gorgeous. I even asked the chef to set up a sweet note from the groom to be – which he put on a special dessert dish for the bride. We had enough food for a breakfast buffet the next day – and dinner the next night – i would absolutely get the chef.
Town was a quick 10 min car ride away – Juan set us up with the snorkeling adventure, which provided drinks and yummy tacos! The water itself wasn’t much to snorkel in, but we saw a bunch of whales since it’s season – so it was worth it! Everyday the home was cleaned, and the rooms turned down. Mark and Brian and Juan and his wife made our bachelorette party SO special – I don’t think I will ever be able to travel a different way. You can tell they put a lot of time and thought into their guest experience. Thank you Brian and Mark and JUAN for making this the best Bachelorette party we’ve ever been a part of! You made us all feel comfortable and like queens!
