LAND’S END sea, land, and sky come together in perfection at
After running over 1,000 miles sandwiched between the wild Pacific Ocean and the gentle Sea of Cortez, Land’s End is a fitting name for the tip of the Baja Peninsula.
If you’re looking to give resort living a try, check out the Pueblo Bonito Resorts, with offerings at Sunset Beach -- on the Pacific Ocean -- and Medano Beach on the Sea of Cortez. Within those resorts you’ll find options that include adult only facilities and all-inclusive packages.
Those who have been to Los Cabos will likely spend the rest of their lives hearing the area’s siren song calling them back. Travelers who have yet to experience the sandy beaches and warm hospitality the town has to offer are in for a treat.
For those interested in a standard hotel experience, well known chains like Sheraton have built excellent facilities along the main highway running parallel to the Sea of Cortez. Like the resorts, the hotels often offer all-inclusive packages and nearly all have private beach access.
Cabo is one of the rare places that certainly has something for everyone, making it the perfect destination for families with varied interests. On the water, you’ll find sailing, fishing, and diving options aplenty; on land, hiking, riding, and exploring are all great options. Golfers, especially, will find the Peninsula ripe with golf courses set to challenge -- and entertain -- players of all abilities.
Finally, adventurous travelers can wade through pages of rental homes listed online for rent. Homes like the Jimmy Paige Villa (see page __ for more) are sure to wow anyone who walks in and realizes they get to stay there.
Always known as an area of great biodiversity, Cabo has grown into a destination like no other. The area is primarily composed of two towns - San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas - linked by 20 miles of oceanfront highway, sandy beaches, and sprawling resorts. It’s a place available for leisure and business trips.
The golf scene in Cabo just keeps getting better, with new courses opening every year attached to some of the hottest names in golf course design. It’s impressive for an area already featuring layouts by Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, and Greg Norman to now sport designs from Tiger Woods, Fred Couples, and more.
Getting to this paradise gets easier every year, with improvements at the Los Cabos International Airport (SJD). Flights are available from every major market in the United States and are especially inexpensive to find from the West Coast. Once there, getting around is easy via taxi, shuttles or rental cars (see more on page 16) .
It wasn’t until the early 1980’s that money started coming into the area for golf courses and resorts. Since then, more than 20 championship-caliber courses have opened at the end of the Baja Peninsula. Several are private, designated for members and homeowners only, but many others offer travelers the chance to experience a little of the majestic ambiance of the peninsula.
The area boasts an assortment of lodging options that will fit any budget and lifestyle. From modest cabanas on the hillsides to sprawling resorts just steps from the water, it’s not hard to find what you’re looking for. In addition to the traditional hotel and resort system, the area has grown exponentially with AirBnB and VRBO rentals that offer a variety of amenities..
