See the Arch at Land\u2019s End<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\nTake a boat ride from the Cabo San Lucas Marina to see El Arco, Lover\u2019s Beach, the sea lion colony, and the dramatic rock formations at the tip of the Baja Peninsula. It\u2019s one of those Cabo experiences that\u2019s worth doing at least once.

Spend Time at Medano Beach<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\nMedano Beach is one of Cabo\u2019s best-known swimmable beaches and a fun place to spend a few hours. You\u2019ll find beach clubs, restaurants, water activities, people-watching, and plenty of places to grab a cold drink.

Visit the San Jos\u00e9 del Cabo Art Walk<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\nOn Thursday evenings during the season, downtown San Jos\u00e9 del Cabo comes alive with galleries, local art, food vendors, music, and plenty of restaurants within easy walking distance. It\u2019s a great way to experience a different side of Los Cabos \u2014 and come hungry.

Todos Santos & Cerritos Day Trip<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\nHead north from Cabo for an easy day trip with some of the best stops outside the resort areas. Spend time in Todos Santos, stop at Tequila Sunrise for a Damiana margarita, continue to The Green Room for a beachfront meal, then check out Cerritos Beach before stopping at Shaka\u2019s on the way back to Cabo.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Get Out on the Water<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\nSunset cruises, snorkeling trips, sailing, and whale watching in season are some of the best ways to experience Cabo. The views of the coastline and Land\u2019s End are even better from the water. Whether you want a relaxing sunset sail or a more active day of snorkeling and exploring, there are plenty of options leaving from the Cabo San Lucas Marina.

Planning Your Los Cabos Adventure<\/strong>
Best time to visit:<\/strong> November through April usually brings the most comfortable weather, while summer is hotter and more humid. Whale-watching season generally runs from December through April, with peak activity often in winter.
<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat to bring:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\nSunscreen, a hat, comfortable shoes, water, and a light layer for evenings or boat trips. If you\u2019re heading to the beach, water shoes can also come in handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reservations:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\nBeaches and self-guided exploring usually don\u2019t require reservations, but popular boat tours, sunset cruises, whale-watching trips, and well-known restaurants are worth booking ahead \u2014 especially during the busy winter and spring months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
