A vacation in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico can be just the thing if you’re looking for exotic, exciting, and entertaining all rolled into one.
If you’re looking for a place to vacation that’s exotic, exciting, entertaining and restful than Cabo San Lucas is your ideal. Part Eden, part wonderland, this small city located at the tip of the Baja California peninsula has an amazing diversity guaranteed to please everyone.
Chilean Bay
For those of you looking for a quiet, restful spot in the sun to park in for a few days and simply vegetate, Bahia Chileno or Chilean Bay with its pristine white sand and non-crowded space is the beach for you. It’s easy to find on the right side of Highway 1 leading to San Jose. From the parking lot it is only a brief walk to the beach. Palapas are available, but it’s best to bring your own beach umbrella to assure yourself of a place in the shade. It is worth noting that this is one of the only beaches that has restroom facilities with flushing toilets, but it’s always a wide move to bring your own paper.
Snorkeling and Scuba Diving
Snorkeling and scuba diving are fantastic here. Snorkeling is especially fun because there are many reefs and cliffs for fish of all types to hide amongst and be discovered. Clownfish, blue damsels, puffer fish, and even a tuna or two are out there just waiting to be photographed, so don’t forget your underwater camera! A word of warning, however. Rent your snorkeling equipment while in Cabo San Lucas, as there are no guarantees it will be easy to find or available once you are at the beach. And don’t worry, prices are very reasonable.
Bullfighting
For those craving more excitement, there is a familiar pastime in Cabo San Lucas, bullfighting! Yes indeed these breathtaking and stunning events still take place right here every Wednesday and Saturday afternoon and are attended by large crowds. But rest assured that great pains are taken to make certain that no animals are harmed during the performances. The building where all this takes place is located within easy reach of the city centers, and the action is so spectacular that it is more than worth the price of admission.
Bungee Jumping and Cruises
Need still more excitement? Then bungee jumping is for you! There’s nothing like the thrill of a bungee jump — or so I’ve been told — from the Baja Bungee, which is near Medano Beach. Almost 30 meters/100 feet high, the Bungee tower offers amazing views around Cabo San Lucas.
A sunset cruise around Cabo San Lucas Bay is a wonderful way to relax and unwind after a vigorous day of touring, and an added benefit is that you get to do some more sightseeing, this time while sitting back and sipping a cool drink of your choice. For something different, there are also cruises available on large catamarans, which depart from the dock at the Hacienda Beach Resort, champagne breakfast cruises, and luxury dinner cruises, which pass Lover’s Beach and Land’s End while you dine on some of the finest meals in Cabo San Lucas.
