We at The Cabo Sun watched Los Cabos add yet another stamp to its star-studded passport this week when TMZ photographers caught Kim Kardashian gliding past El Arco on June 17, one day after daughter North West turned 12.
The duo—plus a handful of North’s besties and cousin Penelope Disick—lounged on the deck of a gleaming white mega-yacht. Between kid-led cannonballs and karaoke, Mom stayed multitasking—juggling an icy fruit drink, her phone, and a chunky binder (because even budding attorneys squeeze in bar-exam study time on vacation).

The oceanside fun capped a multiday celebration that kicked off at a beachfront villa—complete with waterslide, inflatable swans, and a blow-up movie screen—according to The Cut. Kim kept most of the festivities off her grid, but she did sneak an ocean-view Instagram Story and a sweet birthday tribute to North.
Kim’s Yacht-Ready Style
While North opened gifts, Kim opened her closet. As Vogue clocked, she doubled down on crocodile print—layering a flowy gray Acne Studios button-up over a knotted bikini top and pairing it with nude Skims swim capris.
The look was finished with oversized Phoebe Philo Bombé shield sunnies so big they practically doubled as shade sails. Practical for maritime life? Maybe not. Peak Kardashian? Absolutely.

Why Los Cabos Keeps Luring the A-List
If the marina’s starting to feel like a Hollywood backlot, that’s because it basically is. Just two weeks ago singer Robin Thicke swapped “Blurred Lines” for wedding lines, marrying longtime love April Love Geary at Las Ventanas al Paraíso—with Leonardo DiCaprio and Usher on the guest list, no less.
Stars who keep coming back have their pick of hideaways: One&Only Palmilla (Jennifer Aniston’s ride-or-die), Waldorf Astoria Pedregal (reachable through a private tunnel), Nobu Hotel (Robert De Niro co-owns the place), Esperanza, and, of course, Las Ventanas. Need proof? Check out our rundown of the five resorts celebrities love most—it’s basically a who’s-who directory.
And it’s not just musicians and reality royalty touching down. Supermodel Cindy Crawford rang in 2023 on these sands, while hoops legend Michael Jordan was spotted last fall. Basically, if you throw a beach towel down in Cabo, don’t be shocked when someone from your People magazine lands nearby.

Travel Tips for the Rest of Us
- Book early or go boutique. Celebrity demand means prime suites at Palmilla or Pedregal vanish months out. If your dates are firm, lock in fast. Otherwise, consider smaller, still-stellar spots along the Tourist Corridor.
- Give yourself paparazzi-proof buffers. Traffic can snarl around the marina during high-profile charters. Build wiggle room into airport transfers—better to sip a margarita in the lounge than sweat in the shuttle.
- Keep your phone handy—respectfully. A-listers come to Cabo for privacy, so grab the mental screenshot first and only snap if it’s clearly allowed.
- Step onto the water. From sunset catamaran cruises to half-day snorkel sails, sharing the Sea of Cortez is the easiest way to understand why celebrities can’t quit this coast.

Kim’s yacht day is just the latest reel in Cabo’s never-ending celebrity highlight film.
Whether you’re chasing the glam or the guac, there’s a little red-carpet magic waiting on these shores—binder, beach waves, and all.
