Where to Stay, Eat and Play in Cabo San Lucas
Whether you’re a frequent traveler to Cabo San Lucas or this is your first adventure, this itinerary will surely offer you a little inspiration, perspiration and edification. In Cabo, it is very easy to spend the day poolside drinking cocktails. This 24-hour itinerary will inspire you to ride bikes on the beach, learn to make salsa or spend a day eating sushi. While it might be impossible to do all of this in one day, or consume this many daily calories (even on vacation), this list is a keeper for unique ways to spend the perfect day (and night) in Cabo San Lucas.

Pedal Power
There aren’t many reasons to wake up before 9 a.m. on vacation, but the unique experience of gliding through the sand on an electric-powered “fat” bike is one of those reasons. Garza Blanca Resort & Spa Los Cabos offers bike rentals and a guided ride with reservation.

Sushi + Beach Club
SUR Beach House is by far the best place to enjoy a day at the beach. The restaurant boasts amazing views of The Arch of Cabo San Lucas, serves fresh and inventive sushi rolls and features a private, swimmable beach. Book chairs or a chaise lounge in their beach club where you can alternate among sipping on cold rosé, floating in the sea and munching on their famous Lidia Roll.

Me Time
Yes, there are people who work out on vacation. No, we aren’t recommending a CrossFit class; the Hydrotherapy Circuit offered by Spa Imagine at Garza Blanca Resort & Spa Los Cabos is a healing hydrotherapy ritual that takes you through six stages of water treatments. You begin with a steam in a marble steam room, move to a cedar sauna, take a high pressure shower to soothe your neck and back, massage your entire body in the Vitality Pool, warm up in the Grand Jacuzzi and then take a cold plunge.

Fish Tacos at a Sand-Side Food Truck
If you’re in the mood for fresh seafood, the food truck at Garza Blanca Resort & Spa Los Cabos offers tacos and seafood just steps from the sand. Indulge in raw fish and shrimp marinated in citrus, along with a great selection of cocktails. Enjoy upbeat, chill music and refreshing ocean breezes as you savor exquisite flavors.

Be Pacific
Take a one-hour drive along the coast to the opposite side of the Baja Peninsula and the magical small town of Todos Santos. We recommend The Green Room—which is about 10 minutes outside of town––for a sunset dinner.
9 p.m.
You Need to Rest Now
After a hectic day enjoying all that this utopia has to offer, relax in a two-person hammock on your giant terrace, soak in your freestanding bathtub and snuggle into your massive bed with luxury linens. The 1313 square foot one bedroom suite at The Garza Blanca Resort & Spa Los Cabos was the perfect way to end our day.

Erik Hale is the visionary and publisher behind LOCALE Magazine. He launched the magazine in 2010, wanting to give the community of OC a premiere lifestyle magazine that knew all the native knowledge behind OC. “Six years ago Ashley and I sat at a table scratching the name LOCALE (among some other names) onto a sheet of paper,” says Erik, “coming up with story ideas and basically dreaming. Everything we imagined has happened and we have been blessed with so much more. I am so grateful as we start another year for my family, my two wonderful children, my health, our amazing writers, designers and photographers, our advertising partners and you.”
