Cabo San Lucas, Baja California, Mexico
Cabo San Lucas has a certain vibe. It was sunny and lively and clean.
Our guide told us, " NO Senorita, you cannot swim today, it is not allowed because the water is very rough," he exclaimed.
Sebastian was our guide on the glass bottom boat. He was with his son Sebastian Jr. There was an excitement as I see the big fish around the boat and also through the glass bottom. Sebastian took a sharp right turn.
On your right, "it's called the lovers beach and you can see why."
"That one over there, we called it divorce beach," Sebastian explained smilingly.
I can see why he said we cannot jump off the boat and swim. The water was very choppy and there's no way I could swim in open water in that situation. After about an hour going around the glass bottom boat, we decided to just do nothing and stay on the beach. We didn't even had a chair but there was a palapa umbrella and that was enough.
There was about a mile stretch of sand. It is one of the famous ones for locals and can be crowded at times but today it was a more tranquil scene. After about one hour, we walked to the docks and looked for the food truck that was recommended by Sebastian. Located behind the tourists shops and souvenir stalls, a food truck in the parking lot serves the best margarita in town.
The owner, Miguel also cooks fresh fish (catch of the day) and oysters. Locals dig into salsa and Mexican seafood gazpacho full of shrimps and clams. Our reward, was a plateful of oysters.
Apart form the beach, Cabo San Lucas offers plenty of shopping and it is best discovered in the central plaza. You can find something for everyone in Cabo San Lucas.
Whether you swim or not, you'll be hooked from the moment you arrive.
