8 days in Los Cabos Itinerary

Underdeveloped and unexplored for most of its history, San Jose del Cabo emerged as a major tourist destination in the 1970s, when a growing number of sun-and-sand visitors discovered the area's appealing beaches.

You'll visit kid-friendly attractions like Playa Palmilla (Palmilla Beach) and Playa del Amor. Venture out of the city with trips to Cabo San Lucas (La Turquesa Jewelry and Art, Medano Beach, & more) and East Cape Adventures (in Cabo Pulmo). There's lots more to do: glide peacefully along the water with some of the best stand-up paddleboarding in the area, view the masterpieces at Movimiento Art Gallery, get a taste of the local shopping with Mi Casa Azul Art Gallery, and enjoy the sand and surf at Santa Maria Beach.
