Information and Resources:
"Castillo Blarney" and The Cabo "Locale"
Literally at Land's End, Cabo San Lucas sits at the southernmost tip of the Baja California Sur, México. Here, the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean meet at the famous rock formation "El Arco," the perfect arch, at the end of the magnificent Baja Peninsula. Nearby, Lover's Beach (Playa del Amor) offers superb snorkeling. While popular for its world-class golfing and sportfishing, Cabo's after-dark clubs are also a perfect Cabo San Lucas vacation spot.
We hope you are excited about visiting Cabo! We are eager to see you, and have provided the following information to assist you in planning for your trip.
