By Land

Some travelers from the Southwestern United States choose to drive down the Baja California peninsula. Getting to Los Cabos by highway is straightforward. Mexico 1 or the Transpeninsular Highway begins in Tijuana. The trip takes 20 hours, but the beautiful natural sights along the way make the drive worth it. Be aware that the highway twists and turns through the desert, and be sure that you carry enough water, food, and a spare tire for the journey.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Cabo and Los Cabos?

Los Cabos is the name of the municipality at the southern tip of Baja California Sur. This includes the municipal seat of San José del Cabo, where the international airport is located, as well as lively Cabo San Lucas. The eastern part of the municipality, East Cape (Cabo del Este) is situated between the Gulf of California and the Laguna Sierra range.

Are the beaches in Los Cabos swimmable?

Certain beaches in Los Cabos provide terrific spots for swimming or snorkeling, though strong wave action along much of the coast is more apt for surfers. Medano Beach in the center of Cabo San Lucas offers calmer waters, or take a boat to Lovers’ Beach on the way to the Arch to enjoy calmer waters. Near San José del Cabo, Playa Palmilla features the most swimmable option for many.
