It is easy to have fun once you are in Los Cabo, Mexico...the beaches (Lover's Beach, Divorce Beach, and more), Sea of Cortez, Pacific Ocean, and desserts...how could it not be fun?!?!
Hotel stay (could be split amongst family and friends to save $)
Step1
I recommend looking on line for a package deal. Sometimes you can purchase, a car rental, hotel or resort, airfare, and food all in a special package rate.
Step2
Royal Solaris
Consider staying at an all inclusive hotel or resort in either San Lucas or San Jose. We stayed at the Royal Solaris and love it!
Step3
Sea of Cortez
Hop a boat to Lover's Beach on the Sea of Cortez. The water is calm - generally. Perhaps even take a snorkeling adventure. Look at the rock formations. There are little to no seashells.
Step4
Pacific Ocean
From Lover's Beach, walk over to Divorce Beach on the Pacific Ocean side in San Lucas. The water is generally harsh and unforgiving.
Step5
The famous arch
Bring a water camera and snap a few pictures of the arch.
Step6
Before booking your trip, look at the months for whale season. The crowds will be thicker, but you will not regret it.
Step7
Sea lions
Look for sea lions on the rocks of the beaches.
Step8
Keep a sharp eye for crabs on the beach.
Step9
History at its best
San Jose is great in terms of shopping. It is alot less crowded than San Lucas. It is also historic - walk past the church...a great photo opportunity.
Step10
Kayaking is a good way to experience the water and the sea life below.
Step11
Fishing or diving is a great way to experience the vast fish types.
Step12
MMMMmmmm
I recommend Damiana in San Jose for good Mexican food - a little pricey - but good to experience local food. You can sit on the back patio in garden.
Step13
ATVs can be fun - but be careful!
Take an ATV excursion over the sand dunes and along the beach.
Step14
Account for extra time needed to get through customs.
Step15
Be sure to check travel and baggage restrictions for your airline, if needed. This includes liquid amounts and number of allowed checked bags.
Tips & Warnings
Wear walking or water shoes
Bring several swimsuits
Consider wearing suntan lotion - I recommend one that is natural or without parabens
Crime is low in the area, but use caution
When there, I saw a lady get ripped off by a vendor passing fake money.
