Cabo San Lucas
Busy streets with
frenzied college kids, high-rolling golfers and sport fishers, but look
through the crowds and by the roadside there might be a small Mercado
hawking fresh flowers or the best mariscos (seafood) you'll ever taste.
Unlike hard-partying Cancun, this little fishing town still has its own
Mexican character, despite doubling its population during the tourist
season.
Many come to Cabo for the legendary sport fishing of 'Marlin Alley' -
the waters around Cabo are replete with the big fish - though
whale-watching is edging out the traditional favorite pastime. If that's
not your cup of tequila there are the postcard-perfect beaches -
including Playa Médano and surfing Mecca Zipper's Beach - or the
majestic rocky outcrops at Land's End. With a handy international
airport and gaggles of luxury hotels crowding the beaches, this is no
longer an out-of-the-way holiday spot. But there's still plenty of the
old Baja beauty to discover - if you can dodge the tourist-industry
touts.
Mexico Cruise Destinations
The state is bordered by the United States on the north, the
Pacific Ocean on
the west, the Gulf of
Mexico and the
Caribbean Sea on the east, and Guatemala and Belize on the south.
Mexico is more than 1,200 miles wide along its northern border with the
United States, but narrows to only 130 miles in the south, between the
Bay of Campeche
and the Gulf of
Tehuantepec.
In northwestern Mexico, the peninsula of
Baja California
extends southeast below California. In the southeastern part of the
country, the
Yucatán Peninsula extends northeast toward Cuba, separating the Gulf
of Mexico from the Caribbean Sea. |
