The town of Cabo San Lucas is infamous due to the attention of one Sammy Hagar... "white sands sure make a tan look nice...!" If you're into it, the town has the party... go to, The Cabo Wabo, The Gigglin' Marlin, or El Squid Roe for party time! I heard someone say, "I've been hung over in a lot of places, but this was the most worth it." Snorkeling in the Sea of Cortez was very nice...
Everyone we met was very nice. The captain of one tour boat let our friend drive the boat!
We stayed at Sol Mar Beach Resort, and must say that even though it was dangerous, due to rip tides, to enter the ocean at land's end the beach was beautiful (and only a few people were on it!!!)
Quick Tips:
In order to get to beaches where you might swim, you have to take water taxi's, usually if you take a tour or pay for an activity, they may include a water taxi back to your hotel. Otherwise they are reasonable - ~20 pesos.Best Way To Get Around:
Taxis from Sol Mar to town are about 40 pesos. Once in town, you can walk anywhere (it is actually only a short walk to SolMar). We rented a car for a few days, to get back to the airport and take a tour up the coast. If you're up for it, the drive up the coast, towards La Paz, is nice; watch out for the animals roaming the highway!!!
