Los Cabos Sightseeing: Must-Do Moments

Embrace the opportunity to discover everything this beautiful region has to offer and create a getaway that’s as unique as you are.

By Vanessa Molina Santamaria

Whatever your travel style — high-octane with friends, low-key with family, or unapologetically romantic — Los Cabos serves up can’t-miss experiences that feel designed just for you. From sea-glass coves and desert trails to gallery nights and chef-driven tables, here’s how to make the most of the tip of Baja.

The Sea Is Calling in Cabo

» Dive a living aquarium. Slip into the Sea of Cortés at Chileno Bay or make the pilgrimage to Cabo Pulmo National Park, home to one of North America’s most successful reef restorations. Expect schools of sergeant majors, curious puffer fish and, with luck, rays gliding past coral heads. Pro tip: Morning seas are typically calmer with better visibility.

» Follow the giants. January through March, humpbacks migrate along the coast, turning the horizon into a stage of breaches and tail slaps. You can spot them from shore, but a guided outing ups your odds and offers expert narration. Pro tip: Bring a windbreaker; breezes are real out on the Pacific side.

Slow the Pace & Enjoy the Views

» Sunset by El Arco. Board a late-day cruise to watch the sky fire up behind El Arco, the iconic rock arch where the Pacific meets the Sea of Cortés. Have your camera ready for the picture-perfect moments that will leave you in awe. These are the memories you will treasure long after your trip has come to an end. Pro tip: Golden hour sells out; reserve ahead, especially on weekends.

» Desert by camel. Add a little storybook to your getaway with a gentle camel trek across empty dunes and wave-washed beaches. It’s quiet, cinematic and surprisingly intimate — just hooves, horizon, and you. Pro tip: Request a sunset slot for soft light (and photos you’ll actually print).

An Adrenaline Rush in Baja

» Fish the “Marlin Capital of the World.” Los Cabos’ deep blue is legendary for billfish, along with yellowfin tuna, dorado, and snapper. Whether it’s your first charter or your fiftieth, the adrenaline hits when the reel sings; and a fishing charter here promises an exhilarating experience. Pro tip: Check with your captain about seasonal runs and catch-and-release best practices.

Guided desert ATV adventure tour in Cabo San Lucas

» ATVs in the desert. Trade flip-flops for a helmet and roll into Baja’s wild side. Guided ATV tours weave through arroyos, cacti forests, and ridgelines with sweeping sea views and breathtaking natural beauty. Pro tip: Closed-toe shoes, sunglasses, and a buff for dust will make you very happy.

Leisurely Pursuits

» Golf with a sea breeze. This is bucket-list golf country, with championship courses carved into cliffs and dunes and fairways that unfurl against the stunning backdrop of the Sea of Cortés. Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned player, Los Cabos is a golfer’s paradise. Even a bogey looks good with views like these. Pro tip: Early tee times mean cooler temps and quieter greens.

Galleries and Good Times

» Gallery District, after dark. From November to June, San José del Cabo hosts a weekly Art Walk, when doors swing open, artists pour wine, and music spills into the streets. It’s part exhibition, part neighborhood party. Cap the night with dinner nearby — lots of spots add live entertainment to the mix, completing your evening with a taste of local culture. Pro tip: Arrive right at start time to chat with artists before crowds swell.

» Turn up the music. From barefoot sets at beach bars to ticketed festivals, the region’s soundtrack blends traditional Baja music, Latin rhythms, and modern beats. The lively music scene captures the spirit of Los Cabos. Pro tip: Ask your concierge or check local listings for who’s playing where during your stay.

Savor the Flavors of Los Cabos

» Farm to table, Baja-style. The foothills north of José del Cabo hide eco-farms and ranches that celebrate seasonal ingredients and wood-fired cooking. Expect heirloom tomatoes, just-picked herbs, and menus that change with the harvest. Sustainability isn’t a buzzword here — it’s a way of life that offers a fresh, flavorful taste of Baja’s agricultural bounty. Pro tip: Book well in advance; weekend seats tend to fill up fast.

» The fish taco you’ll dream about. Crisp, fresh, and mouthwatering, Baja-style fish tacos are a rite of passage. Local favorites include La Lupita and 7 Seas Seafood Grille in San José del Cabo and Captain Tony’s in Cabo San Lucas. Once you’ve tasted these perfectly prepared fish tacos that capture the essence of the Baja coastline in every bite, you’ll be eager to return for more. Pro tip: Add a squeeze of lime and a pinch of sea salt before any salsa — it brightens everything.

 

Build Your Perfect Day

» Rise with the sea. Start with a sunrise stroll when beaches are quiet, and pelicans skim the water.Stunning sunrise view on a quiet beach in Los Cabos

» Choose your headline moment. Morning reef snorkel, midday spa and pool, or a desert ATV blast — there’s room for every mood.

» Save something for sunset. A sail to El Arco, a terrace table in San José del Cabo, or toes-in-the-sand tacos as the sky goes coral.

» Repeat as needed. Los Cabos rewards both planners and wanderers. Mix marquee moments with simple pleasures and you’ll leave already plotting your return.

Los Cabos is built for unforgettable experiences — whether you come for nature, adrenaline, culture, cuisine, or simply the feeling of being far from ordinary.

Star Power in Baja: Los Cabos Celebrity Sightings

Celebrities love Los Cabos for good reason — privacy, scenery, and best-in-class venues. From wedding vows to milestone parties, the tip of the peninsula keeps drawing A-listers back.

 

When Maroon 5 front man Adam Levine married Victoria’s Secret Angel Behati Prinsloo in July 2014, the couple opted for rustic chic over beach casual.

Set in the foothills of the Sierra de la Laguna mountains just north of San José del Cabo, the 25-acre organic Flora Farms was the perfect match for their taste. The team transformed the grounds into a garden oasis with lush greenery, twinkling lights, and wide-angle views of the countryside. After saying “I do” in the open-air chapel, the newlyweds hosted a reception in a beautifully dressed barn, serving a custom farm-to-table menu with organic ingredients harvested from the surrounding fields.

The guest list was equally starry. Jonah Hill — who also officiated— joined Jason Segel, Robert Downey Jr., Levine’s Maroon 5 bandmates, and the bride’s Victoria’s Secret friends who stood up as bridesmaids. As icing on the cake, former Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks flew in to perform “Leather and Lace” with the groom.

A decade later, in July 2024, Adam and Behati returned to Flora Farms to toast their 10-year anniversary, this time with three kids and a circle of family and friends.

More recently, at the tip of the Baja, singer and actor Selena Gomez marked her Cabo San Lucas bachelorette getaway in style before marrying longtime love Benny Blanco. She shared photos of the festivities on Instagram.

Of course, Los Cabos’ celebrity story started long before social media. In the 1950s and 1960s, Hollywood icons and power players helped put the region on the map — think John Wayne and Bing Crosby flying in to fish the rich waters, Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball escaping to the quiet beaches, and even visits from figures like President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Those early glamour years contributed to Los Cabos becoming a discreet luxury hideaway.

They’re in good company today. Over the years, Los Cabos has welcomed a who’s who of regulars and homeowners, including George Clooney, Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jessica Alba, Justin Timberlake, Cameron Diaz, Chris Hemsworth, the Kardashian-Jenner family, and many more.
