Cabo San Lucas, where the sea, sun and desert join to cast an air of mystery and romance over all who visit. Cabo was once a tranquil fishing village and, in times long ago, a hangout for pirates.Cabo is still small and charming by any standards, with a population of under 25,000. They do have 4 stop lights now. And most important great places to stay like Presidente all-inclusive resort or bungalows in Cabo San Lucas. And with the number of activities available to the visitor, you could easily imagine you are in a giant amusement park. Would you believe a medium sized amusement park? How about where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific Ocean and land ends. Lunar landscape and maybe a whale or two.

Cabo has been blessed with what many describe as the perfect climate. Average year-round temperature is 78 degrees, it is a little cooler in the winter and a bit warmer in the summer. For years Cabo was the remote playground reserved solely for private yacht owners. Cabo San Lucas is the undisputed billfish capital of the world. How would you like your photo next to a 200 lb billfish hanging from the scales? Take mine next to Salma Hayek.

Cabo can be, many different things to people. Cabo San Lucas has become know as the perfect vacation spot or the entire family.  Cabo can be as quiet, romantic and relaxing as any secret hideaway. It can be as lively as anyone can possibly imagine. If your wish is to enjoy a quiet candlelight dinner, "muy romantico", beside the shimmering sea for just the two of you, we have some of the most romantic dining spots on the face of the earth.  If golf, water sports, boating, fishing,  horseback riding and numerous other activities are what you seek, they're all here, waiting for you.If your thing is to party till dawn; Cabo has got it.

The sport fishing is unparalleled in the world. Marlin of the blue, black and striped variety. Sailfish, dorado (also known as mahi mahi the ugly fish), tuna, wahoo, roosterfish and endless varieties of bottom fish top fish and surf fish. Cabo is, by far, the world's very best all around location for sport fishing. Even if you are not a fisherman, you should try your hand at fishing while visiting Cabo. Landing your very first marlin is an experience that you will treasure for a lifetime. For more fishing information click here

Swimming, scuba diving, surfing, para-sailing, snorkeling, sea kayaking, water skiing,   glass bottom  boat cruises, wave runners, wind surfing, whale watching, you name it and it is available here. Scuba divers will not soon forget their dive at the world famous sand falls, located just past the even more famous natural rock arch at Land's End. More on swimming, just click here.

Los Cabos is home to five world class, championship golf courses, with another on the way. Three of these were designed by Jack Nicklaus, one by Robert Trent Jones II and one by Pete Dye. CancunSteve designed one too; a mini-putt with a coffee can on its side . How does someone design a golf-course I ask you? I can understand designing a mother board for a computer with it's zillions of transistors. Or designing a TV set. But a golf course? Maybe it goes something like this:
-hey Fred, get that little shovel out of your back pocket and dig a hole right here
-and Gomer, put some sand from your wheel barrel here
Cabo del Sol, a Nicklaus creation, which skirts the shore of the Sea of Cortez, has been called one of the five most beautiful courses in the world. Nearby San Jose del Cabo is the home of a delightful nine hole public course.Golf has quickly become a major attraction here. Where else can you catch a marlin in the morning, play eighteen holes and still be home by early afternoon? Or drink all night and get in by early dawn.

The area offers some great places to ride. Ride along the beach at sunset, go a little farther, up into the hills and view Cabo from an angle most people never get to see. Take your camera! Tours can be arranged for any number of riders. There are also jumping and dressage arenas for advanced riders. The surrounding desert offers unlimited riding possibilities. The desert and nearby mountains combine to offer great rides within a short distance of town. Organized tours are offered to El Faro Viejo, the old lighthouse on the Pacific, with its great sand dunes. Another great tour is the half day trip up to the mountain village of Candelaria, where it is rumored that some of the locals still practice witchcraft. You can also rent motorcycles and scooters. But don't let the locals put a spell on you.

Cabo has an abundance of shops selling all types of Mexican handicrafts, silver, and all kinds of beautiful ceramics. Tee shirts with some of the most outrageous designs available anywhere, wood carvings, Cuban cigars, unique objects made of pewter. People have been known to spend an entire vacation just cruising the shops. They lost their way back to the hotel at the third traffic light. So take it easy with that tequila.

MORE FISH  The region around Cabo is one of the top sportfishing regions of the world. Poor Morris didn't know how to play the fish. But with the help of the mate and captain's handling of the boat Morris was soon battling his first marlin. The marlin pulled on the line then suddenly stopped. This is the time to crank the line suggested the mate. After about 30 minutes the marlin got close to the boat. Then was gone. Morris was fustrated yet happy as the fish was free. Soon he had another chance. The second marlin fought for only 10 minutes jumping out of the water several times. The captain and the mate brought the marlin up to the boat and hit it. Then the fish was bound and gaged to the back of the boat. You too can have your own fish bound and gaged to the back of the boat; ask the front desk. You may either rent a boat yourself or join a group; get up early. Get your fishing license; get on board. If you are prone to seasickness please don't sit next to me nor wear a white dress.
The captain will back up and go forward to help tire out the fish. Once you caught your marlin perhaps you'd like a photo of yourself with the fish to put in the den next to the one of your wife with your mother-in-law. The marlin is put up on the scales. Your photo taken for posterity. If you want to save your fish for mounting let your captain know otherwise the local kids will start cutting it up for supper. The hotel will be glad to prepare some for you for supper, or you may have it frozen to bring back home. The only problem with this latter option is in the event of long flight delays you may find fellow passengers giving you strange looks and moving away from the cardboard box holding your defrosting marlin.
There are of course captains who have a reputation for catching more fish than others. After you've made your reservation with us we'll tell you how to find out. Cabo is home to several sportfishing tournaments. The largest is the classic Billfish Tournament. The event lasts five days. A record catch of a 1,007 pound blue marlin was caught in December 1992. This fish was bigger than my Aunt Mildred who wore a wristwatch on her thumb.
Other small game fish abound including wahoo, bonito, amber jack, and tuna. Don't be fooled by the name small game fish as wahoo often exceed 60 pounds.

SWIMMING  The currents on the Pacific side of the beach are very strong. Caution with small children. When the tides are low you can walk around the rocks and even go beneath the arch. For swimming and snorkeling the bay side is ideal. The Presidente is on the Sea of Cortez north of Cabo San Lucas near the golf course of San Jose del Cabo. Here the water is crystal clear and calm many hours of the day. Return to where you were in the text by clicking here.

THE TOWN The town's people come from a variety of backgrounds. Some English. Some arrived from Spain. Americans and Canadians have found a niche here as well. In the evenings the boys may be found in a game of chase which sometimes brings them out into the street. Careful driving around as you never know when a boy, girl, dog, or cow will dart out in front of you. The people are friendly and have more time for you than in big cities or the typical tourist spots.
In the nearby town of San Jose del Cabo on the main thoroughfare Paseo Mijares is great for a stroll. See old arches, colorful flowers, pastel painted cottages, and shops. Be sure to visit the old 18th century Jesuit Mission Mision Viejo.
