The 20-mile Tourist Corridor separates the two towns and is lined with glamorous resorts.

Thanks to the area’s easy proximity to Los Angeles (about a two-hour flight), Los Cabos attracts a healthy celebrity quotient. Jennifer Aniston is regularly spotted at hotels, and George Clooney loves the area so much that he built a beachfront compound here and sold the property to a Mexican billionaire for a princely sum. And of course, there’s former Van Halen frontman Sammy Hagar, who founded the infamous Cabo Wabo Cantina.

Wherever you decide to stay, Cabo San Lucas, San José del Cabo, or—most likely—somewhere in between, Los Cabos delivers the quintessential Mexican beach vacation. It’s a combination of luxury hotels, trailblazing restaurants, world-class golf courses, and outstanding fishing, all with views that will make you want to send a postcard home.
