And, if you have never been to Cabo, you are truly missing out on one of the most fabulous destinations in Mexico.

The minute you get off the plane the weather is warm, the locals are friendly and within less than an hour, you are surrounded by the beach, ocean, desert, palm trees, mountains, blue sky and a comfortable slow pace. What a winning combination! Located at the Sea of cortez right at the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula, Cabo has exploded on the international front as one of the top vacation spots in the world.

“The Arch” is the most famous symbol most commonly associated with Cabo. Almost anywhere in town, you can see the volcanic rock formation rising high above the water. You can take a water taxi, ride by the seals perched on the rocks and head over to Lover’s Beach, have a picnic and watch the sun set through the Arch. It is a magnificent sight. Water, water everywhere, so, of course, world- class fishing excursions, whale watching (Jan.- March), snorkeling, para-sailing and diving opportunities abound. The marina area has been recently developed into an array of wonderful shops and restaurants featuring local Mexican cuisine and seafood, as well as hand-made pottery and blankets, including silver jewelry with beautiful Mexican opals.

The food in Cabo is outstanding! Margaritas and guacamole are a must, but for something a little more substantial, my favorite places to dine are Edith's, The Office and Mi Casa. Edith's is decorated in typical Mexican fashion and is located in town on a small, bumpy dirt road near the beach. Their menu consists of fresh seafood and steaks and offers the largest, most fabulous shrimp and lobsters along with their specialty of the house, a magnificent Caesar salad made at your table. A little pricey but worth every peso. The Office is a block down the road and is directly on the beach. You dine in the sand, so no high heels here, girls. Owned by the same restaurateur that owns Edith's, the food is again superb, just more casual and less expensive. Dinner is usually combined with a Mexican show complete with elaboratedancers and musicians in authentic costumes. Mi Casa is the quintessential Mexican restaurant. Mexican tile and old, traditional, elaborate archways lead you into a 2-story hacienda-type dining room with an open-air ceiling. Strolling musicians echo the sounds of old Mexico while you dine by candlelight on rice, beans and fresh tacos. And, for the very best sushi in town, you won’t want to miss Nicksan, located right off the Marina next to the Tesoro Hotel.
