A little bit about Los Cabos, or for the Spanish impaired, The Capes.
At the Southern tip of the Baja California peninsula, approximately 1060 miles south of San Diego, CA, Los Cabos is comprised of 3 areas.
San Jose del Cabo, closest to the airport and the quieter of the two cities, is definitely more laid back, with old Mexico charm and a lovely downtown area.
The Corridor, twenty some odd miles of prime ocean view land along the Sea of Cortez, is quickly being developed with upscale hotels, 6 signature golf courses and numerous home developments.
The Corridor ends and the fun begins at Cabo San Lucas, the once sleepy fishing village that is bordered by the Pacific Ocean on one side and the Sea of Cortez on the other. This fishing mecca has exploded with growth over the last ten years and has become one of Mexico’s most popular destinations for golfers, fisherman, water sports enthusiasts, and those who want to invest and own a piece of paradise. El Arco (The Arch) is at the very tip of the Baja Peninsula and is the landmark seen on most postcards and advertisements for Cabo San Lucas.
Los Cabos weather is sunny about 360 days a year. The Gulf is calm and mostly swimmable while the Pacific is definitely more active and a big favorite of surfers. The many beaches offer opportunities for snorkeling, surfing, water skiing, and windsurfing. There are many recreational companies that offer diving, kayaking, sailing, and whale-watching in season.
World Class restaurants, an abundance of activities, pristine beaches, the new Puerta Paraiso Mall which houses fine restaurants, boutiques, a bowling alley, and 10 movie theaters have all contributed to the growth and modernization of Los Cabos, making this the largest growing real estate market in Mexico. |
