Cabo San Lucas
Where the Pacific meets the Sea of Cortez at Mexico's legendary resort playground
Baja California SurDesert climate with minimal rainfall. Hot summers (90°F+) and perfect winters (70-80°F). Occasional hurricanes September-October. Extremely sunny year-round.
Overview
Cabo San Lucas anchors the southern tip of Baja California where desert meets dramatic coastline at the famous El Arco rock formation. This is Mexico's most American-feeling destination—English spoken everywhere, US chains abundant, and prices approaching California levels. The appeal lies in world-class sport fishing, championship golf courses, luxury resorts, and predictable desert sunshine. It suits those wanting Mexican residency benefits with minimal cultural adjustment, though critics note it lacks authentic Mexican character.
