Cross the Golden State's southern border and you're in Baja California, a 1,000 mile long peninsula separated from Mexico's mainland by the Gulf of California. With 2,038 miles of coastline, this strip of land has plenty of beaches...but to find the best ones, head way south to Los Cabos.
Los Cabos, one of Mexico's premier beach destinations, encompasses Cabo San Lucas, San Jose del Cabo and the 20-mile "corridor" that stretches between the two towns. "Cabo" a classic resort town and cruise ship port is the top choice of vacationers with a taste for dusk til dawn nightlife. Up north, historic San Jose del Cabo offers a laid-back alternative to the bustling resort. And when it comes to activities, here, you can play just as hard or relax just as completely as you desire.
At one time, Los Cabos was a "secret getaway" of the rich and famous; today, it's an internationally known vacation spot where beach-lovers, adventure-seekers and some of Hollywood's brightest stars always get a sunny welcome!
