Los Cabos, Mexico

Los Cabos municipality encompasses the towns of Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo, as well as the Resort Corridor that lies between the two.
Los Cabos are a bustling hub for sport fishermen, cruise ships, handicraft vendors, water sport aficionados and nightlife seekers.

The cape region experienced a sport fishing craze in the 1950s and 60s and due to the prolific bill fishing, the waters off the peninsula's southern tip earned the nickname "Marlin Alley".

The area is considered the second fastest growing resort destination in all of Mexico and particularly busy with visitors during the winter high season, November to February. With some of the best all-around sport fishing in the world and every water sport imaginable, Cabo is the ultimate destination for travelers looking for outdoor adventure.

In spite of all the tourists, Los Cabos manage to retain something of a small town feel.

Los Cabos Convention & Visitors Bureau Los Cabos... Leave It All Behind. Relax your mind. Revive your Spirit. Rejoin the World... Discover Los Cabos, rediscover yourself. Mèxico, Beyond your Expectations. http://www.visitloscabos.travel Los Cabos. Two small and very different towns -- San José del Cabo to the northeast, Cabo San Lucas at the southern tip -- bracket a twenty-mile seacoast 'Corridor,' home to a range of elegant hotels, and to a collection championship golf courses. Los Cabos is at the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California peninsula. Approaching by air across the Sea of Cortés (which separates the Baja from the rest of Mexico) the visitor first sees contrast: the craggy peaks of the Sierra de la Laguna form a backdrop to miles of golden beach, blue water and dramatic red rock formations; saguaro cactus, palms and cultivated gardens cover the pale gold desert landscape. Cabo San Lucas is best identified by the image of the world famous rock arch formation "El Arco" where the Pacific meets the warm water of the Sea of Cortes.
