The name "Los Cabos" refers to two different communities, Cabo San
Lucas and San Jose del Cabo. Cabo San Lucas is the larger, with more
shops, restaurants, bars, discos and a monopoly on the nightlife. It is
also at the very tip of the peninsula, where the famous Los Arcos arch is
located. San Jose is closer to the airport. It's small and quiet, with a
variety of shops, several restaurants and two or three bars. The 25 miles
between San Jose and Cabo has a growing number of spectacular resorts and
five world-class championship golf courses.
In addition to golf, Los Cabos is known for its sport fishing. Over
40,000 marlin and sailfish are hooked every year. SCUBA diving is also
excellent, probably the best on the Pacific coast of Mexico. In fact, many
experienced divers prefer Los Cabos to the Caribbean. There's a good
variety of sites, and there are fewer divers. Surfing can also be good,
depending upon the weather, and there are several areas that are good for
snorkeling.
Please note, however, Los Cabos is surrounded by open ocean. Swimming,
for the average person, can be extremely dangerous. The only beach that's
sheltered from the open ocean, and readily accessible, is Medano Beach in
Cabo San Lucas. Otherwise, enjoy the ocean, it's magnificent, but do your
swimming in the pool.
