Cabo San Lucas Baja California, Mexico Travel Guide
Cabo San Lucas enjoys warm weather year-round. Pack lightweight, breathable fabrics like cotton, linen, and moisture-wicking synthetics. Multiple Swimsuits are a good choice.
Cabo is a resort town, allowing beachwear in appropriate areas. For local towns or religious sites, a more modest dress code (shoulders and knees covered) shows respect.
Pack Comfortable sandals or flip-flops for casual wear around the resort, beach, and marina.
Bring Comfortable walking shoes or Athletic sneakers for exploring towns, the marina, or for longer strolls.
Water shoes or sturdy sandals for rocky beach areas or poolside. Closed-toe shoes are required for activities like ATV riding or zip-lining.
Keeping your documents organized and accessible prevents stress during your trip. Prepare both physical and digital copies of important papers.
Staying connected and powered up simplifies travel. Mexico uses 120V, 60 Hz, with Type A and B plugs (same as U.S./Canada). No Power adapter needed for U.S./Canada travelers.
Capture memories with the right gear. A GoPro or similar Action camera is great for water activities. A good Smartphone camera is often sufficient for most travelers.
Google Maps (offline), Uber/DiDi, Google Translate (offline Spanish), WhatsApp, and a reliable weather app are useful.
Regularly back up important photos and documents using cloud storage (Google Drive, Dropbox) or an External hard drive.
Consider an RFID-blocking wallet for credit card protection.
A well-stocked personal health kit prevents minor issues. Tailor your First aid kit to the Cabo environment.
The sun in Baja is very strong. Protection is necessary even in arid areas where mosquitoes can appear, especially during humid months.
Consider bringing a Personal snorkel mask and fins set or a Full face snorkel mask for comfort and hygiene.
Pack light hiking shoes, comfortable athletic wear, a small Daypack for water and snacks, and a Reusable water bottle.
Binoculars are useful for whale watching (seasonal, Dec-April). An Underwater camera or Waterproof phone case is good for marine life photography.
These items improve comfort, security, and convenience, making your trip smoother.
