A Couple’s Guide to Visiting Los Cabos

Couples love to bask in the tropical, sunny shores of Los Cabos. While the climate and iconic beaches are a draw, Los Cabos is elevating its tourist experience. With high-end accommodations, private tours, and a rich culture to share. Los Cabos is perfectly matched to host couples from every corner of the globe.

Situated on the southern point of Baja, Mexico, Los Cabos is a picturesque destination for couples. Who often fill their itinerary with these activities (ideal for a party of two):

• Visit El Arco

  A legendary rock formation that springs from the warm waters is a popular spot for couples to visit and photograph. You can hop on board a water taxi to see the 200-foot granite arch or you can charter a private boat for two. If you schedule your departure time for sunset, you’ll have a private boat tour and impressive scenery, making for a great date night activity.

  Celebrating a special occasion, like your honeymoon or anniversary? Be sure to mention it to the captain; who may just break out a champagne toast for you.

• Plan a beach tour

  You can’t visit Los Cabos without spending some time on one – or several – of its pristine beaches. The beach you visit depends on the experience you’re looking for. You can find quiet, sun-soaked beaches with small crowds or people… watch from a shaded beach chair at a more trendy locale.

  Medano Beach, set in a lively part of town, is home to all kinds of watersports. Whether you want to rent a jetski, go parasailing, or launch a kayak into the ocean, this beach is a great homebase for those looking to get out on the water. Restaurants are scattered nearby too, making it easy to spend the day at the beach.

  If you’re looking for something a bit more secluded, Lovers Beach is a great option. Since the beach is only accessible by water taxi, this spot offers a calmer beach day. Bring your snorkel gear with you to coast through the sea with the vibrant marine life below.

  If you prefer a more luxurious experience, consider visiting Delphine at Costa Palmas. With private umbrellas, an elegant bar, and a restaurant run by Michelin-star Chef Ludo, you’ll enjoy an unparalleled day in the sun and sand. Reservations are required, but it’s an elevated experience you’re sure to enjoy while visiting Los Cabos.

• Go snorkeling

  The sea surrounding Los Cabos is teeming with vibrant fish, rays, sea turtles – you name it. If there’s ever a place to snorkel, this is the place. You’ll have your choice of beaches to launch your snorkeling adventure, including the famed Cabo Pulmo. This protected marine park is home to the only living hard coral reef on the west coast of America, making it THE place to don your snorkel mask.

  If you’re looking for a different location, Pelican Rock, near The Arch, also attracts snorkelers.

  You can snorkel on your own, but it’s best to go out with a local guide. You’ll find many outfitters who not only rent gear, but have the expertise you need to enjoy your experience in the water.

• Shop at authentic Mexican stores

  If you know where to look, you can find a host of authentic shops to explore while visiting Los Cabos. La Turquesa Jewelry and Art Store, for example, is owned by a local resident with 20+ years in the retail business. Inside you’ll find jewelry, home decor, and vibrant pottery.

  The course, designed by golf icon Robert Trent Jones Jr., is an 18-hole championship course that’s as challenging as it is beautiful. Play a competitive game with your partner, hone your skills inside the 28,000-square-foot putting course, or take lessons with the pros.

• Plan a date night in San Jose del Cabo

  San Jose del Cabo is a quaint town to visit any day of the week, but for a special date night, consider visiting on a Thursday. Every Thursday in November-June, the town springs to life in the evening hours for its weekly Art Walk.

  The main street, Obregon, is closed to traffic to encourage visitors to casually wander the street and visit local art galleries, shops, and restaurants. Sip a drink as you stroll the cobblestone road. Listen to street musicians, and talk with artists who create and display their works in town.

  Consider starting your night a bit early with dinner at Flora Farms, a working farm with a farm-to-table restaurant onsite. Enjoy a wholesome meal with a sophisticated vibe before enjoying the Art Walk.

  Whether you’re planning to take a unique piece home with you or simply want an evening out together soaking up the local culture, the Art Walk has date-night-vibes written all over it.
