Seven days, five towns, one unforgettable stretch of Baja California. Here's exactly how to spend a week on the golden coast.
Day 1 — Arrive in Cabo San Lucas
Land at Los Cabos International, check into your resort, and spend the first afternoon poolside. As the sun drops, take a water taxi to the Arch of Cabo San Lucas — the iconic sea stack where the Pacific meets the Sea of Cortez. Dinner at La Marea Fish House on the marina.
Day 2 — Sportfishing & Médano Beach
Dawn departure with a local sportfishing captain. The Sea of Cortez runs marlin, dorado, and yellowfin tuna year-round. Afternoons belong to Médano Beach — the liveliest strip of sand on the peninsula, lined with beach clubs and cold Pacíficos.
Day 3 — San José del Cabo
Drive the Corridor to San José del Cabo. Spend the morning in the Gallery District — colonial streets lined with galleries, boutiques, and the kind of cafés that make you linger. Lunch at Cielo y Mar, then a sunset walk along the estuary.
Day 4 — La Paz Day Trip
Take the highway north to La Paz. Board a small boat to Isla Espíritu Santo — a UNESCO biosphere with turquoise coves and sea lion colonies. Snorkel with the sea lions, then return to the malecón for the city's legendary ceviche scene.
Day 5 — Todos Santos
Head up the Pacific coast to Todos Santos, a Pueblo Mágico of mezcal bars, surf culture, and art studios. Breakfast at Café Sirena, afternoon at the Hotel California rooftop, dinner at Finca Roja with natural wine under the stars.
Day 6 — Cerritos Beach
Thirty minutes south of Todos Santos is Cerritos Beach — a perfect beginner break. Take a surf lesson in the morning. Spend the afternoon on the sand as the Pacific turns volcanic orange. The best sunsets in all of Baja happen right here.
Day 7 — Final Sunrise & Departure
One last sunrise from your resort terrace. Pack slowly. The Sea of Cortez will still be there next time.
