Cabo Nightlife – The Place for Fun Day or Night
While San Jose del Cabo is mainly for rest and relaxation, on the other end of the corridor, Cabo San Lucas is filled with bars and clubs alike, with an active night life scene. Cabo nightlife includes a variety of restaurants, cantinas, dancing, drinking and an all-around great fun. The Cabo San Lucas night life area consists of three prime spots: the beach, the marina and the downtown streets. All are in short walking distance. The open and contemporary marina is surrounded with bars, restaurants and shops. The endless options of the marina blend nicely together with the adjacent downtown streets. El Squid Roe, The Giggling Marlin and the famous Cabo Wabo, amongst many other nightlife spots, are all within reasonable walking distance from each other. Each offers its own curb and interior appeal. If a nice restaurant is where you’re looking to start, you can find all different varieties within the area such as Alexander’s, Ruth Chris and Ponchos to name a few. A nice mellow walk or a short cab ride will get to nearby Medano beach, another area with an assortment of nightlife and restaurants. A “must do” on a trip to Cabo would be to get breakfast, lunch or dinner at one of the well known spots at the marina. This includes favorites such as Solomon’s Landing or “The Office.”
