Los Cabos Neighborhoods

Cabo San Lucas

Pedregal
The Pedregal is the ‘Beverly Hills’ of private residential gated communities in Cabo San Lucas. Despite 40 years of steady growth, the Mediterranean-inspired community still manages to hold onto its Old World atmosphere while simultaneously embracing the new. Built into a magnificent granite hillside surrounded by exotic desert vegetation, the area's 360 acres feature sweeping panoramic views over either Cabo San Lucas Bay or the Pacific. With cobblestone streets, fine restaurants and numerous recreational options, the emphasis is on privacy and a casual, tropical lifestyle. Exquisite showpiece homes abound. Excellent swimming is available at Médano Beach, less than a mile away. The Pedregal is an oasis of exclusivity just steps to all the action of downtown and the marina.

Bay Side
Warmer than the Pacific side, the bay side of the Pedregal showcases the city lights at night and lovely sunrises. You can walk to Médano Beach and downtown Cabo San Lucas from the bay side.

Pacific Side
The Pacific side of the Pedregal offers stunning ocean views, with whale watching right from the terrace of your luxurious private villa. The beautiful stretch of beach along the Pacific is perfect for sunbathing and beachcombing. Big Pacific waves make this beach unsuitable for swimming.

Sunset Beach
Located on the Pacific side past the Pedregal, Sunset Beach is home to the beautiful Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach Resort & Spa and the Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Holistic Retreat and Spa, an adults-only luxury resort. Relax on the broad expanse of beach offering a wonderful feeling of seclusion and privacy. Surrounded by granite mountainsides, the beach is known for its nesting sea turtles. A release program is available to help usher the tiny baby turtles safely into the sea. A spectacular setting for deep relaxation, this beach is not suitable for swimming.

Marina Area
In many ways, the Marina is a gateway to all the action of Cabo San Lucas. Surrounded by the lively downtown center of the city, the Marina is home to 380 slips and can accommodate vessels up to 200 feet. Here you'll find a host of popular restaurants, entertainment options and activities. Catch a fishing charter, grab a water taxi to Lovers Beach, hop aboard a sunset cruise or head over to a state-of-the-art facility where you can swim with dolphins. The Marina area is home to some outstanding shopping at the Puerto Paraiso, Plaza Bonita and Plaza Nautica malls.

Downtown
Surrounding the Marina area, downtown Cabo San Lucas is the lively epicenter of Cabo's shopping, nightlife and dining. You'll find a bit of everything here from gourmet restaurants and luxury boutiques, to local taco stands and fun-filled nightlife. The legendary Cabo Wabo, Giggling Marlin and Squid Roe nightclubs are here. Parking is very limited downtown so grab a cab or take a stroll. If you're looking for souvenirs or unique local arts, you'll find them in downtown's many shops.

Médano Beach
The beloved beachfront of Cabo San Lucas, Médano is an energetic blend of spectacular beach, beautifully azure swimmable waters, activities and people-watching. Hot beach clubs, beautiful resorts and restaurants line the beach. Hang out at the Mango Deck or The Office where you can enjoy happy hour with your toes in the sand. The gentle waters of the bay are a beautiful backdrop for kayaking, jet skiing and parasailing. While soaking in the sun on the beach, you'll encounter a host of local hawkers selling anything from jewelry to chewing gum. If you're interested, bargaining is expected; if not, ignore them. If you're looking for a hot mix of action and natural beauty, Médano is the place to be. Depending on where you're staying on Médano Beach, you're either just a short cab ride or walk to downtown.
