Summer in Los Cabos is dialed up to a perfect “festive-but-not-frantic” setting this July.
We at The Cabo Sun have the deets on hotel occupancy, who’s filling those cabana chairs, storm-season tips, beach-flag basics, can’t-miss day trips, and money-saving sale alerts.
Read on so you can arrive armed with knowledge—and maybe an extra margarita.
🔥 A Hot Summer that’s Busy but not THAT busy
Despite peak-season energy, you won’t feel elbow-to-elbow with fellow sun worshippers.
The Subsecretaría de Turismo y Economía of Baja California Sur projects 70–75% hotel occupancy statewide for summer 2025—busy enough to keep pool bars popping, but still plenty of space to spread out your towel on Medano or Chileno Beach.
Think lively mornings, spirited afternoons, and breezy evenings without that full-house squeeze.
🌎 Who’s Hitting the Beaches
Los Cabos is enjoying a balanced mix of home-grown and overseas guests. Domestic visitors from Mexico City (35%) and Jalisco (21%) are making up a sizable share of arrivals, rediscovering locally renowned spots and enriching the vibe with authentic regional flair.
Meanwhile, the U.S. remains the top international source—California alone accounts for 37% of air arrivals—and Canada has boosted its numbers by over 4 percentage points in 2025, softening a slight dip from U.S. travelers.
The result? A true melting pot of accents, sun-hat styles, and “¡Salud!” cheers.

⛈️ Storm-Season Savvy
Hurricane season runs June 1–November 30, peaking in August–September, but most summers pass without incident.
Still, we recommend booking a “no-penalty” resort—see our roundup of 4 Los Cabos Resorts That Offer Refunds If Hurricanes Hit This Summer for worry-free guarantees.
Always pack a lightweight rain jacket and verify your travel insurance covers weather delays; that way, a passing squall won’t dampen your vacation.
🚩 Beach Flags & Bilingual Boards
Cabo’s color-flag system is your lifeline to safe splashes:
- Green: Calm waters—swim away!
- Yellow: Moderate currents—exercise caution.
- Red: Strong currents—swimming prohibited.
- Black: Beach closed—stay on shore.
ZOFEMAT’s new bilingual safety boards along major beaches also display important information regarding flags, safety precautions, and important emergency contacts. For the full rundown, read more here.
