Local Resources
Local Attractions
Since we've been going to Cabo for decades, we've compiled our favorite places to visit, activities and restaurants. Be sure to check out the additional resources below for more ideas - the places to discover are endless.
Todos Santos
Head north up Highway 19 about 50 minutes and this little authentic Mexican town has a ton of shops and galleries to spend the good part of a day. The Hotel California has great food. It's a good way to start the morning with breakfast and a Bloody Mary. Other must-see spots are The Old Church, shops and art galleries on the north side of town.
Cerritos Beach
This is a gem of a place to go. It has an amazing beach considered one of the best on the Pacific side of Baja. Great pool, beach bar, beach massages and surfboard rentals. One of the best kept secrets and least crowded places in Cabo.
Downtown Cabo
There are more shops and restaurants than you can ever see. Everything from a high end mall for shopping and American chain places to eat like Cabo Wabo and Ruth’s Chris to hole-in-the-wall gritty taco joints. The marina is a great place to walk around and people watch, as well as some great nightclubs like Squid Row if you’re ready to fight the crazy “Spring break” crowds.
Downtown San Jose del Cabo
Like downtown Cabo, San Jose del Cabo has a lot to offer. From art galleries, beaches, beach activities and restaurants to an estuary and bird sanctuary - there is something for everyone. Check out the Thursday night art walk in the art district.
There are also some fun tours, especially if you're a foodie! Cooking and food tasting tours are on the list of tours, which include a history and culture tour.
Wild Canyon Adventures
They have a number of options from quad rides to camel rides on the beach, and bungee jumping, but the zipline course is fantastic!
It can be a little tricky to get there since the last hurricane but an alternate road will get you there. Either call them for directions or let us know and we will get more information for you.
Turtle Release at Carisuva
If you're there during turtle season, you can experience the release of baby turtles into the ocean. These little guys are adorable and you're helping raise the sea turtles' survival rate, along with supporting their mission to protect the nests, eggs and provide research.
Amazing Fishing
if you’re looking for great fishing you only need to walk out front and enjoy one of the hottest shore fishing spots in Baja. You’ll see dozens of fishing boats arrive out front every morning from the marina to fish our area called the “Corkscrew” named after our spiral staircase to the beach. Sierra Mackerel, Roosterfish, Jack Crevalle and even some Yellowfin Tuna and Dorado are always lurking.
Groceries
As we mentioned on the travel page, you'll most likely want to pick up groceries at the beginning of your trip since we offer a full kitchen. La Comer is a great grocery store. You should be able to find everything you need.
Palmilla Golf Course
Recognized as the "Grande Dame of Los Cabos Golf" where all 27 holes have a spectacular view of the Sea of Cortez.
Our Favorite Restaurants
There are SO many restaurant choices in Cabo and the surrounding area! It's really become quite the foodie place to visit! Here are some of our favorites, but click on the additional resources if you want to research more choices.
El Farallon at Waldorf Astoria
One of the most amazing places you’ll ever eat. It’s a little pricey – but a once in a lifetime experience.
The Office
A must stop for dinner and drinks! Tons of fun and atmosphere. There are a number of other great restaurants and night clubs nearby. They have great food!
Flora Farms
This is an organic restaurant and the best vegetables available on the tip of Baja. It’s a little bit of a drive past San Jose Del Cabo but a fun day trip to see the area. Pair this with the Thursday night art walk to make it a nice evening too.
Hotel San Cristobal
This is only about 30 minutes north of the house and just below Todos Santos. It’s a great restaurant and small boat rentals on a great beach.
Sunset Monalisa
This is a world class restaurant set on the oceanside. It features Mediterranean cuisine with a Mexican twist. One of the best restaurants with an amazing view of Cabo and the Arch at sunset is Sunset Mona Lisa.
