Cabo San Lucas is a popular destination in Baja California, with its endless white beaches, warm water and stark, beautiful cliffs. There are plenty of activities available, including banana-boating, snorkeling, diving, kitesurfing, horseback riding and parasailing. If those are too active for a relaxed holiday, take a boat trip to spot whales and dolphins. Outside of town, gaze at the desert with its cardón cacti, arroyos and caracara birds. On the coastline, enjoy El Arco, a large archway carved into the cliffs. Feeling hungry? Head to the marina or Playa El Médano to enjoy the many outdoor restaurants and bars, serving everything from international cuisine to great Mexican food. The following is a selection of some of the best restaurants in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
