WELCOME TO CABO SAN LUCAS!TODAY'S CABO WEATHER.............................SATELITE PHOTO OF CABO
is where the Transpeninsular Highway ends and the FUN begins! For most of this century Cabo was a small, quiet fishing village. Even when John Steinbeck chartered a boat out of Monterey to visit Baja in the 1940's, there was very little going on in Cabo. But with all of the natural beauty and resources that this area had to offer, it was inevitable that the 'Cape' would eventually experience significant growth. Excellent weather, fabulous sandy beaches, crystal clear waters, and a relatively close airline proximity to major U.S. cities all contributed to the growth of Cabo. A recent edition of Conde Nast Traveller Magazine provided a hint of what is headed for Cabo at an ever increasing pace. Cabo garnered 3 of the top 10 categories for Best Resorts in Latin America, including Las Ventanas al Paraiso as the #1 resort. Although funky small and mid range hotels still provide lodging for most of Cabo's visitors, they will have to share the stage with these new superstars as we progress into the new millennium. It seems quiet appropriate that the entire length of Baja should come to a dramatic end here with the large granite rock formations and with the spectacular arch at land's end! Although the tranquillity that brought many of Cabo's original admirers is becoming harder to find, other attractions pull in today's visitors. A first class marina has been completed right near the center of town. Hotels now fill tourist's needs from basic motels to 5 star resorts, and restaurants range from taco stands to sushi bars. Cabo is notorious for it's night life, and if you are macho enough, you can sing and dance from dusk to dawn in Cabo's many bars. The beach and water sports scene in Cabo cannot be matched! Swimming, sunning, snorkeling, scuba diving, surfing, windsurfing, sailing, para-sailing, yachting . . . the list goes on. This is water sports heaven for those who have the desire and the energy to get wet! FISHING is what put Cabo on the map, and fishing is what keeps 'em coming back! The waters surrounding the tip of the Peninsula offer some of the best fishing to be found anywhere. Recognizing that there is indeed a tomorrow, Cabo is big on the wise fishing practice of catch-and-release, especially with the larger game fish. Cabo's faster pace is not for everyone. But if you come down with an open mind looking for a good time, and you leave here bored, you better check your pulse. There could be a problem! Headed to Cabo for Spring Break?

CARLOS FIESTA'S HOT TIP:LA CONCHA BEACH CLUB is a slice of Cabo paradise that is usually not discovered by most folks who vacation in the Los Cabos area. But for those who want to experience a relaxing afternoon on a private beach, La Concha Beach Club definately hits the mark. Located just up the beach from the Melia Cabo Real Hotel at Km. 19.5 off the main highway between Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo, La Concha Beach Club offers parking on a low bluff just above the beach. The path from the parking lot leads to a spectacular beach, complete with a large protected swimming area, grass, lounge areas, plus an open air restaurant and bar overlooking the Sea of Cortez. There's even a wading pool for kids! For many years this beach was the private domain of a priveleged few. Only recently has it been opened up to the public..and the word is spreading fast! So if you are looking for some place different to enjoy a lunch, a cocktail, or a safe place to take a dip in the ocean, La Concha Beach Club is a refreshing place to soak in the warm Baja sun!
