A trip to Los Cabos means plenty of beach time. Chances are that your hotel will likely have beach access, but if you want to explore other options, there are numerous public beaches and many hotels offer day passes. Lovers Beach and Divorce Beach shouldn’t be missed. These two beaches share the same strip of land but are separated by a rock formation. Lovers Beach faces the calm waters of the Sea of Cortez, while Divorce Beach overlooks the big waves in the Pacific Ocean. To fully appreciate the area’s natural beauty, take a boat tour to see El Arco and Land’s End, the iconic rock formations of Los Cabos. If you’re visiting between December and April, don’t miss a whale watching excursion, where you can see humpback whales breaching right offshore. In San José del Cabo, stroll through the Gallery District every Thursday during its weekly Art Walk to immerse yourself in the local art scene. For a true taste of Mexico, book a tequila tasting experience, where you’ll learn about the drink’s history and the production process while sipping different varieties.
