Relax at Playa el Arbolito

Los Cabos, Mexico

Description

Great beach with excellent snorkeling.

If you want to enjoy a great beach and experience some excellent snorkeling, head a few miles down the dirt road south from Cabo Pulmo to Playa Arbolitos. A small entrance fee allows you to use their rustic bathroom and showers. They rent kayaks and snorkeling gear if you need it. It's also possible to camp here in a small rig or tent. Walking a little south from the beach takes you to best snorkeling spot - La Sirena. Strong prevailing NW winds in the winter make for great windsurfing but poor diving and snorkeling, so check the forecast.

Hike to Table Top Mountain

This hike is relatively easy with amazing views at the top and during the trail. There is little elevation gain in the beginning, and the gain is gradual as you make it to the top of the mountain. But if you do get tired there are many rocks to take a quick break on. How to get there: I wish I could place an exact location but I did not record an address when I did this hike. Starting from Lo...

Cascada Sol de Mayo Waterfall

Cascada Sol De Mayo can be found just beyond the village of Santiago off Highway 1, the main road between La Paz and San Jose Del Cabo. After turning off Highway 1 towards Santiago, simply follow the signs for the "Waterfalls", Cascada Sol De Mayo, and/or Ranchero Ecologico Sol De Mayo. Eventually the road turns to dirt and dead-ends at the Ranchero, which has bathrooms and a small, sometimes...
