Cabo San Lucas is the resort community located at the tip of Mexico's Baja Peninsula. The region is referred to as Los Cabos and most vacationers simply refer to the whole region as Cabo. The population of Cabo is around 60,000 and has grown rapidly over the last 25 years or so as resort development has grown. Cabo is now a top resort destination in Mexico, probably second only to Cancun in the number of tourists.

Cabo San Lucas is renown for its great weather, beaches, diving and deep sea fishing. Cabo is a major marlin fishing destination. There are numerous gated communities where the wealthy escape from the cold winters.

If you have yet to decide on where you will stay in Cabo, here is a ranking of the top 10 hotels in Cabo.

One great feature of Cabo is the dry weather. As opposed to the Caribbean which receives plentiful rain, as much as 60 inches per year, which can spoil a vacation, Cabo only receives about 6 inches a year, which means you are virtually guaranteed a dry sunny vacation.
