Join us on Episode 27 of our Ultimate World Cruise series as we dock at the sun-drenched shores of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, a paradise where the azure waters of the Sea of Cortez meet the Pacific Ocean. As two retirees with a zest for exploration, we invite you to journey with us through one of Mexico's most coveted tourist destinations, nestled at the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula.
Cabo San Lucas is renowned for its vibrant marine life, luxurious resorts, and the iconic Arch of Cabo San Lucas, creating the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable adventure. Our visit starts with a tender boat ride from our cruise ship to the bustling marina, a gateway to the wonders that await.
Originally planning a day of sport fishing — a must-do in Cabo due to its reputation as a marlin hotspot — we adjust our plans due to a cold. Instead, we embark on a leisurely exploration of the harbor, indulging in the local culinary scene and observing the day's impressive catches, from dorado to marlin, being cleaned and celebrated at the docks. The sight of seals begging for scraps adds a touch of whimsy to our waterfront stroll.
Despite our change in plans, Cabo's lively marina, lined with exquisite yachts, fishing boats, and an array of dining and shopping options, offers us plenty to see and do. From pirate party boats to high-end boutiques and thrilling excursions, Cabo San Lucas proves to be a destination that caters to every taste and adventure.
