Best of Los Cabos |
|
 |
Two towns connected by an 18-mile coastal road called the Corridor make up the vacation enclave collectively called Los Cabos. Cabo San Lucas is an antic cruise port full of bars and shopping malls. San José del Cabo, an eighteenth-century mission town, has its share of tourism, but it's also filled with traditional haciendas and adobe houses and charmingly occupies the edge of a 125-acre estuary with white sand beaches and 200 bird species.
Convenient, cloudless, and affordable, Los Cabos and the Baja Peninsula are ideal from autumn through spring, when temperatures range from 60 to 90 degrees. The beaches and rocky coves on the tip of Baja were the domain of fishermen until 1973, when Highway 1 was completed and development began. Since then, Los Cabos has become a Hamptons for Hollywood, with world-class resorts alongside hotels, inns, posadas, B&Bs, and hostels—many of which are bargains. The Corridor is busy with taxis and buses that connect the resorts, golf courses, and 17 principal beaches.

Take a trip to the artists’ colony of Todos Santos, a Spanish colonial town founded in 1730. Its Moorish-inspired church and plaza are postcard-perfect.
Hit the links at 4 of the top 10 golf courses in Mexico, including the top-ranked El Dorado links. (Luckily for “golf widows,” the area also boasts top-drawer resort spas.) | |

| | | | | Cabo is rightfully famous for its snorkeling and scuba, but the area’s tides make it ill-suited for ocean swims. Choose a resort with a pool if your heart’s set on splashing.
Although the locals delight in the tourists it brings, the Hotel California in Todos Santos bears no connection to the Eagles’ song of the same name.
Don’t miss typical Los Cabos cuisine, including abalone ceviche and catarina clams. | |
