My favorite Insider Tips and places to see in Los Cabos, Mexico.
The first place I take a visitor from out of town is to the Marina and Medano Beach for great food, drinks and music.
When I’m looking for classic Baja cuisine, I go to Mi Casa.
The Tikki Bar is a good local Cabo bar.
When I want to hide away, I go to Santa Maria or Chileno Beach.
If you come to Cabo San Lucas, take a picture of the iconic rock formation El Arco.
The best thing to order at Restaurant Arts & Sushi is the No Name Roll.
Did you know that Los Cabos is the Marlin Capital of the World?
For a budget meal, I go to Gardenias.
For a huge splurge, I go to Market at One&Only Palmilla or Canto del Mar (Song of the Sea) at Marquis Los Cabos Resort.
Photo opportunities in Cabo include the Arch, Lover’s Beach, historic San Jose del Cabo and Medano Beach.
The best vantage points are taken by walking to the top of the Pedregal area.
The most random thing about Cabo is the Sabor a Cabo (Flavor’s of Cabo) festival
In Cabo, an active day outdoors involves walking, hiking, horseback riding or scuba diving.
My favorite walking route is the rock next to the arch.
Cabo’s best museum is in Cabo San Lucas, Plaza Amelia Wilkies.

I was in Cabos 10 years ago. I remember visiting the Marina, back then, I don’t know if it’s true now, it was considered the most expensive Marina and Yacht club in the world.
Sooo gorgeous!!!!!!
@Marina
Sounds like it is time for a trip to Los Cabos, Mexico. The sunsets over the water are amazing!
My favorite thing to do in Cabo is eat guacamole – almost every restaurant has amazing guacamole. On our last trip we did swim with the dolphins and it was an amazing experience for the whole family. My daughter was completely enthralled with our dolphin Ixchel and when we came home we learned all about dolphins and made a display for her to take to show and tell at school. Worth every cent!

Do you think we’ll need a renter car for the week? Or is there plenty of public transportation available to get to all the beaches and snorkeling places?
@mitch
Public transportation is available. Of course, you’ll need to check with your lodging location to find out if you’ll need a rental car.
Do you know when the next time is that the beach will be visible and able to walk on it at the Arch?
@Cari
I don’t know the answer to your question. However, I bet the folks at Los Cabos Convention & Visitors Bureau will know the answer. Click on the highlighted link at the bottom of the post. Thanks.
