At the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula in Mexico, Cabo San Lucas is a desert playground at the edge of the Pacific Ocean where a fulfilling array of activities on land and sea beckons to be explored. The reasons for Cabo’s popularity are its sun-kissed beaches, rich cultural heritage, thriving culinary scene, and sensational variety of family-friendly activities. It offers an unforgettable endless-summer experience for families seeking a harmonious blend of relaxation and adventure—whatever the season.
Cabo is steeped in a rich history shaped by Spanish exploration. Once a target for pirates during the 17th and 18th centuries because of its remote location, Cabo eventually transitioned to a relatively isolated fishing village until the 1950s. The transformation from a modest fishing village to a tourism hotspot has steadily gained momentum since the 1970s.
