Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

While most of my Getaway from LA trip posts like Peru, Yellowstone National Park, and Cancun (scroll for more) are lengthy and include many details/tips for visiting both local/global destinations, I’m going to keep this blog post short and sweet. :) I didn’t bring my DSLR camera on this getaway (it can be a lot to carry around, and I wanted to not have to lug around a bag everywhere I went), so opted to take a few pictures on my phone instead throughout the weekend.
 
I recently attended a destination wedding in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and decided to make a 4-day weekend trip out of it. Cabo San Lucas, most commonly referred to as just, “Cabo,” sits at the most southern part of Baja California, on the Pacific Ocean side of Mexico. Cabo, attracting visitors mostly from the United States and Canada, is best known for its beaches, scuba diving and water activities, resorts, and nightlife. Most of the weekend was spent at our resort, Sandos Finisterra, with a large group for wedding activities, but we were able to spend an afternoon at the hotel’s spa (which was lovely!) and went on a gorgeous sunset cruise to Cabo’s iconic arches. The arches are one of the most iconic tourist attractions here, and at certain times of the year, the sea level falls low enough here that visitors can walk on the beach underneath the arch. I’d love to go back here again one day to explore more of the city. Until then, thanks for the good times & good views this time, Cabo! Destination weddings are the best and so full of love and fun.
