Past the marina and the resort strip, Cabo hides empty Pacific beaches, taco stands worth the drive, and desert-meets-sea viewpoints. WendQ finds them for your travel style and plans the trip in seconds.
A strip of sand between the rocks at the very tip of the peninsula, with the Pacific breaking on one side and the calm Sea of Cortez on the other.
Local tip: Take a water taxi out and agree a pickup time before you step off — there is no walking back.
From December to April, grey and humpback whales pass close to shore. Standing on the cliff and watching costs nothing at all.
Local tip: Mid-morning, with the sun behind you. Blows are easiest to spot on a flat sea before the wind picks up.
Thursday evenings from November to June the gallery district opens its doors, the street closes to cars, and the courtyards fill with music.
Local tip: Start at the plaza church end and work outward — the best courtyards are two streets back from the main run.
A desert town of adobe galleries and mango farms with an empty beach break below it. The antidote to the resort strip.
Local tip: Swim only where locals are swimming — the surf beaches here have serious rip currents.
A calm bay inside a marine reserve, with parrotfish and rays in chest-deep water a few metres off the sand.
Local tip: Public access with parking at the top of the path — arrive before ten or the small lot fills.
A farm-to-table kitchen out among the cactus where dinner is cooked over wood and the sky afterwards is the actual attraction.
Local tip: Book the last seating and stay for the dark. Bring a layer — the desert drops fast after sunset.
