Cabo San Lucas Weather and Information
Los
Cabos is the county at the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California
Peninsula. The 2 main towns
are Cabo San Lucas -- "Cabo" -- (at the tip of the peninsula, where Villa del Palmar Cabo is located), and San José del Cabo (which is the county seat) 20 miles to the east.

Cabo
is in the “dry” tropics, experiencing a desert climate, although
nearly surrounded by ocean. The nearby water moderates the temperatures,
contributing to sunny days with mild temperatures and little rainfall (Cabo
enjoys 360 sunny days a year).

History
Cabo’s colorful history includes
many peoples: ancient Indian
Cultures, Spanish missionaries and conquistadors, Dutch and British
pirates, French and German settlers, U.S. and other military invaders, as
well as modern adventurers, writers, architects, artists and pleasure
seekers from around the world.
Until a relatively few years ago, Cabo San Lucas was a sleepy fishing
town.
Geography
The
signature landmark is "El Arco", a natural stone arch at the
southernmost tip of the Baja peninsula in Cabo San Lucas.
 The arch marks the meeting of the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortéz, each an unpredictable shade of blue or green.
The bay is usually crowded with
fishing and sightseeing boats, yachts, sailboats, kayaks, jet skis, and
the occasional cruise ship or warship.
Sunrises
and sunsets in Cabo are magnificent. And a full moon rising over the Sea
of Cortéz is equally beautiful.
Los
Cabos is in the Mountain Time Zone and observes Daylight Savings Time.
Vacation Attractions
Los Cabos has become the third most popular vacation destination in North
America. This vacation playground has successfully blended together
environment and development. Golf course greens and sunset golds
accentuate the coastal surf and tranquil beaches.
Cruise ships regularly visit Cabo San Lucas, which is also home to
the largest marina in Baja Sur.
Cabo
is filled with restaurants, shops, nightclubs, extravagant homes, and a
brand new shopping mall at the marina.
Aromas from open-air grills and music fill the air. Most Mexicans in Cabo speak some English along with Spanish.
San José del Cabo
San José del Cabo is more the old, authentic
Mexican town, quieter than Cabo.
It sits on hills overlooking the Sea of
Cortéz, near a freshwater estuary formed by a river that flows underground
from the mountains. The
estuary is a bird and wildlife preserve. Many of San José's buildings
date to Spanish colonial days, and it has a traditional town plaza for
frequent fiestas.
