Top 10 Activities in Los Cabos

From championship golf and deep-sea fishing to Baja adventures, beach days, and relaxing spa experiences, discover 10 memorable things to do during your Los Cabos stay.

Los Cabos coastline and outdoor activities near Casa Sirena

Los Cabos is the kind of destination where no two days have to look the same. One morning can begin on a beautiful golf course overlooking the Sea of Cortez, while the next might take you deep-sea fishing, exploring the Baja desert, cruising past the famous Arch, or simply relaxing beside the water.

Staying at Casa Sirena in Palmilla puts you close to some of the region's most memorable experiences, with plenty of options for adventure, relaxation, sightseeing, and time together. If you're planning your Cabo itinerary, here are ten activities worth adding to your stay.

1. Play a Round of Golf in Los Cabos

Los Cabos has become one of Mexico's standout golf destinations, combining dramatic desert landscapes with ocean views and courses designed by some of the biggest names in the game.

Depending on the experience you're looking for, options around Los Cabos include Cabo del Sol, Quivira Golf Club, Cabo Real, Puerto Los Cabos, and Vidanta Golf Los Cabos. Whether you're an experienced golfer or simply want to enjoy a beautiful course while you're on vacation, golf in Cabo offers scenery that's difficult to match.

2. Head Out for a Deep-Sea Fishing Adventure

Cabo San Lucas is known around the world for sport fishing. Its location where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez creates rich fishing grounds with opportunities to catch species including marlin, dorado, yellowfin tuna, and sailfish.

Local fishing charters offer everything from half-day trips to full-day excursions, making this an experience that can work for both seasoned anglers and guests trying deep-sea fishing for the first time.

3. Explore the Baja Desert by ATV or UTV

One of the best ways to experience the landscape beyond the beaches is to head into the Baja desert. Guided ATV and UTV adventures take visitors through rugged trails, desert terrain, rocky landscapes, and areas with incredible views of the surrounding peninsula.

It's a completely different side of Los Cabos and a great choice when you want to trade the pool for a little dust, speed, and adventure.

4. Plan a Relaxing Spa Day

Not every Cabo experience needs an adrenaline rush. A spa day can be the perfect balance to a schedule filled with golf, boating, sightseeing, and outdoor adventures.

Massage, facials, body treatments, and other wellness experiences give you an opportunity to slow down and enjoy one of the best parts of vacation: having nowhere else you need to be.

5. Spend the Day at Palmilla Beach

Sometimes the best activity is the simplest one. Palmilla is known for its beautiful coastline, and a beach day gives you time to swim, relax in the sun, walk along the shore, and enjoy the Sea of Cortez at your own pace.

For guests staying at Casa Sirena, spending time near the water is an easy addition to the day without needing to build an entire excursion around it.

6. See the Famous Arch at Land's End

No first trip to Cabo feels quite complete without seeing El Arco, the natural rock formation at Land's End where the Baja Peninsula reaches the sea.

Boat tours, water taxis, and glass-bottom boats make it easy to get out on the water and see the Arch, nearby rock formations, and the Cabo coastline from an entirely different perspective.

7. Go Snorkeling or Diving

The waters surrounding Los Cabos offer plenty to explore beneath the surface. Snorkeling and diving excursions can introduce you to tropical fish, rocky reefs, marine life, and some of the region's clearest stretches of water.

Depending on how adventurous you want to be, you can choose anything from a casual snorkeling trip to a full diving excursion.

8. Explore San José del Cabo

Set aside some time to experience the quieter, more artistic side of Los Cabos in San José del Cabo. Its historic streets, galleries, shops, restaurants, and local atmosphere offer a nice contrast to a day spent on the water or in the desert.

If your visit lines up with the seasonal Art Walk, an evening exploring the gallery district can be an especially enjoyable way to experience the town.

9. Experience Cabo from the Water at Sunset

Cabo's coastline is beautiful during the day, but sunset gives it an entirely different feel. A sunset cruise is an easy way to slow down after a busy day while still getting out and experiencing Los Cabos.

Depending on the season and the kind of outing you want, you might also consider kayaking, sailing, or a whale-watching excursion while you're on the water.

10. Slow Down and Enjoy Palmilla

It's tempting to fill every day in Cabo with reservations and excursions, but make sure you leave room to simply enjoy where you're staying.

Spend a morning by the pool, take a walk, visit nearby shops or restaurants, enjoy the beach, and come back to Casa Sirena for a quiet evening together. Some of the best vacation memories happen when nothing is particularly scheduled.

Make Casa Sirena Your Home Base in Los Cabos

One of the advantages of staying in Palmilla is having so many different versions of Cabo within reach. You can spend one day fishing offshore, another exploring the Baja desert, another playing golf, and the next doing absolutely nothing except enjoying the sun and the view.

Casa Sirena gives families and groups a comfortable home base for experiencing Los Cabos at whatever pace feels right for the trip.
