When friends ask me if they should stay on Medano Beach, I always answer with a question: “Which part?” If you have never been to Cabo San Lucas, you probably have a very specific image of Playa El Médano in your head. You picture loud bass thumping from beach clubs, tequila shots, massive crowds, and …

If you are planning a beach vacation to Mexico this year, you are probably staring at a map trying to decide between the Caribbean coast (Cancun, Tulum) and the Baja Peninsula (Los Cabos). Both coasts have beautiful water, but veteran travelers know that Cabo operates in an entirely different league. It is a unique geological …
The image of Los Cabos is clear: the stark, beautiful desert meeting the deep blue of the Pacific Ocean, with the iconic Arch standing guard. It is a destination that promises both rugged adventure and world-class luxury. However, as you plan your 2026 trip, it is essential to know that the “breezy” arrival process has …
We at The Cabo Sun love nothing more than seeing the route map light up with new dots—because new dots mean easier vacations, fewer layovers, and more time with a margarita in hand. After a massive expansion in 2025 that saw connectivity boom from California to Germany, 2026 is shaping up to be the year …

In the world of tourism, gravity usually dictates that after a historic peak, a destination must eventually plateau. Last year, 2025, went down in the books as the absolute zenith for Los Cabos tourism—the biggest year for visitor numbers in the region’s history. Experts predicted a “cooling off” period for 2026. Those experts were wrong. …
Landing in Los Cabos usually brings a wave of relief. You see the desert meeting the sea from the window, the wheels touch down, and you are officially on vacation. But for veteran travelers, the relaxation doesn’t actually start until you are in the shuttle. Between the airplane door and the margarita, there is a …
If you ask the front desk at your hotel where to go swimming in Cabo, 99% of the time they will point you to Medano Beach. And they aren’t wrong. Medano is the beating heart of Cabo San Lucas. It is completely swimmable, packed with iconic beach clubs (like The Office), and offers a front-row …
