The Marina at the Heart of Cabo San Lucas
Nestled at the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California peninsula, Cabo San Lucas developed quickly from a sleepy fishing village to a destination renowned for its stunning natural beauty, luxurious resorts, and vibrant nightlife. It may have grown and evolved, but its maritime roots are intact and there’s no better place to immerse yourself in its buoyant spirit than the Marina.
A bustling hub of activity, our marina is more than just a docking point for boats and yachts; it's a gateway to countless experiences. Stroll along the waterfront admiring the line-up of sleek vessels, from modest fishing pangas to opulent leisure cruisers. The marina serves as the launch point for various water-based activities. Any number of these vessels can transport you to exciting adventures that range from parasailing and snorkeling excursions to deep-sea fishing charters and expeditions to renowned dive sites.
Want to keep it light? Take a boat tour of El Arco, where you’ll get to see Los Cabos’ iconic natural rock formation at Land’s End along with the colony of playful sea lions that live there year-round. You can also book a Champagne sunset cruise, enjoy dinner and a show on the water, or check whale watching off your bucket list if you happen to be in town from early December to mid-April.
Beyond the boats, one of the marina's most beloved features is its exceptional array of dining options. Whether you're craving fresh seafood, traditional Mexican cuisine, or international delicacies, the restaurants that line the waterfront cater to every palate. For a truly local experience, indulge in a meal at one of the seafood restaurants, where the day's catch is transformed into a fresh feast made to order, or head to one of the several restaurants that will clean, cut, and prepare your catch with a choice of sides. Pair your meal with a locally crafted brew, a handmade cocktail, or a glass of Mexican wine for a truly local experience. Then, sit back and soak in the ocean views.
Shopping enthusiasts will also find it a delightful place to explore. All along the promenade, a diverse selection of boutiques and shops sells everything from high-end fashion to unique local crafts. It’s the perfect place to pick up unique souvenirs that include anything from handcrafted jewelry and original artwork to traditional Mexican textiles.
As evening falls, the marina transforms, and Cabo San Lucas’ famously lively nightlife scene awakens to the rhythmic beats of salsa and the latest international hits emanating from the bars and restaurants turned nightclubs. It's a perfect place to mingle with friendly locals and get to know other out-of-town visitors.
The marina is not just a place to visit; it's an experience. From the talented street performers captivating those who walk by to the beautifully tranquil spots where you can simply sit and watch the sunset over the waters, every corner offers an opportunity for discovery.
