Set at the southernmost point of the nearly 800-mile long Baja California peninsula, Cabo San Lucas is a place of spectacular natural beauty, renowned for its immaculate beaches and for the half-mile Land’s End headland that serves as symbolic demarcation between the Pacific Ocean and Sea of Cortez.
Three hundred years ago, pirates took cover behind Land’s End hoping to capture booty-laden Spanish galleons. Today, Cabo San Lucas is a tropical playground beloved by everyone from surfers and big-game fishermen to cruise ship passengers and A-list Hollywood movie stars.
Rock star Sammy Hagar helped to put the place on the map when he opened Cabo Wabo Cantina in 1990, and in the decades since what was once a small commercial fishing outpost has blossomed into a thriving community, complete with luxurious beachfront resorts, pampering spas, acclaimed restaurants and boisterous nightlife.
For those whose Cabo plans extend well beyond a weekend getaway, the Land’s End city also boasts a remarkable range of real estate options. The magnificent villas which cling to the hillsides of the exclusive gated Pedregal enclave are the most breathtaking example, but prospective home owners will find plenty of beautifully designed and exquisitely appointed ocean view properties to get excited about.
