About

Picudo Sportfishing runs day charters out of slip G-3 at the Cabo Marina, right in the heart of Cabo San Lucas. A perfect 5-star rating across a dozen reviews says something—people who fish Cabo tend to know what they're looking at, and repeat business is how these boats survive. The operation focuses on day trips, which in Cabo usually means targeting marlin, dorado, tuna, or wahoo depending on the season. You're fishing the drop-off where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific, which is why the town exists in the first place. The marina location makes for easy access and a quick run to productive water. Twelve reviews isn't a huge sample, but zero complaints and consistent perfect scores suggest the crew knows the grounds and runs a tight boat. If you're booking a charter in Cabo, that track record matters more than marketing copy.

Visiting in November?

November in Cabo offers pleasant conditions without peak-season intensity. You'll find attentive service across properties, from boutique hotels to luxury resorts, and generally comfortable weather for beach and pool time. Thanksgiving week sees a noticeable uptick in visitors, with some restaurants running short on supplies and resorts busier than usual, but the month overall feels more relaxed than true high season.

Blue Sky Cabo Fishing and Tours

Blue Sky Cabo Fishing and Tours operates from F Dock in the Cabo San Lucas marina, and the 5 out of 5 rating across nearly 6,000 reviews puts them in rare territory. Most charter operations in Cabo cluster around 4.5 stars — this one doesn't. The volume matters as much as the score. Five thousand reviews means hundreds of boats went out, came back, and enough people felt compelled to say something that the average held. That's consistency at scale, which is harder to fake than a handful of perfect scores. Whether it's the crew, the boat condition, or how they handle rough days, something's working. They run fishing charters and tours from the marina, which is the standard launching point for anything heading into the Sea of Cortez or around the arch. If you're comparing operators, this is one where the data actually separates from the pack.

Imagine yourself in a cozy cabana, overlooking the vast expanse of the ocean. As you lie down for a relaxing massage, the gentle sound of waves crashing against the shore fills the air, creating a soothing symphony. The cool, refreshing sea breeze caresses your skin, enhancing the sense of tranquility. The massage therapist's skilled hands work their magic, easing away tension and stress, while you gaze out at the breathtaking view of the endless blue sea. It's a perfect blend of nature's beauty

Solmar Spa Collection

Solmar Spa Collection operates out of Marina Centro in Cabo San Lucas, right where the tourist corridor meets downtown. The 5-out-of-5 rating across 3,215 reviews is unusually consistent for a spa at this volume — most places crack under that much feedback, but the score holds. That suggests process, not just a couple of good therapists. The collection format means you're booking treatments across multiple Solmar properties, which gives you options if you're staying elsewhere or want a specific modality. The review count also tells you they move a lot of people through without the rating collapsing, so appointment availability tends to be better than boutique spots that book out weeks ahead. If you want a spa day in Cabo and don't need it to feel undiscovered, this is the reliable pick. Just know you're in a high-capacity operation — it's polished, not intimate.

Cabo San Lucas Desert Spa

Cabo San Lucas Desert Spa is tucked into Villa del Arco Beach Resort, just off the old highway to San José. The name is misleading — you're not in the middle of the desert, but the setting pulls away from the beachfront noise into something calmer. With over 2,600 reviews landing at a perfect 5/5, it's consistently ranked as one of the top spas in Cabo, which suggests they're doing something right with the fundamentals: solid technique, attentive staff, and treatments that actually deliver. The menu covers the usual suspects — massages, facials, body wraps — but execution matters more than variety at this level. Reviewers mention the pre-treatment ritual and the therapists' ability to adjust pressure without being asked. If you're staying elsewhere in Cabo San Lucas, it's worth the short drive. Book ahead, especially during high season, because that rating doesn't go unnoticed.

Pairs well with

Arch of Cabo San Lucas

The Arch sits at the southern tip of the Baja peninsula, where the Pacific meets the Sea of Cortez. You reach it by water taxi from the marina or Médano Beach — most people do a quick loop, snap photos, and head back. The 4.8 rating across nearly 9,000 reviews reflects what it is: a reliable postcard moment, no tricks. The rock formation marks Land's End, and depending on the tide, you'll see sea lion colonies on the rocks and sometimes pelicans stacked on the outcroppings. Water taxis run constantly during daylight hours, and some will drop you at Lover's Beach on the Cortez side if you want to wade. The Pacific side (Divorce Beach) has a serious undertow — people look, they don't swim. It's the thing everyone does once. Go early or late to dodge the midday boat clusters. The ride out takes ten minutes, you get your shot, and you're done. If you skip it, you'll end up seeing it from every other boat trip anyway.

All Ways Cabo Transportation

All Ways Cabo Transportation runs airport pickups and private transfers around the Los Cabos corridor. The 5-star rating across more than 4,300 reviews suggests consistent execution on something simple: drivers show up on time, vehicles are clean, and you don't haggle at baggage claim. They're based in El Tezal, just inland from Cabo San Lucas, which keeps them close to the airport run. The volume of feedback points to reliable logistics — useful when you're coordinating flights, resort check-ins, or day trips between San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas. Private transport here cuts out the shuttle wait and the shared-van detours. You book in advance, someone meets you with a sign, and you're moving. If your group has gear, golf clubs, or you're just not interested in figuring out taxi rates after a flight, this is the straightforward option.

Cabo San Lucas

Medano Beach

Medano Beach is the main swimming beach in Cabo San Lucas, which matters because most of Cabo's coast is open Pacific with serious undertow. This one sits on the Sea of Cortez side, sheltered and calm enough that lifeguards actually oversee designated swim zones instead of just waving people back. The 4.3 rating across 4,500+ reviews holds because it delivers the straightforward thing people want: swimmable water, long stretch of sand, and the restaurant-and-bar infrastructure you expect from a tourist beach. You'll find beach clubs with lounge setups, water sports rentals, and boats heading out to the arch. It gets crowded, especially midday when the cruise groups arrive, but the water stays gentle. If you're traveling with kids or you just want to get in the ocean without checking the flag conditions, this is the one that works.

Cabo San Lucas

Playa de los Amantes

Playa de los Amantes sits at the southernmost tip of the Baja peninsula, where Land's End meets the Sea of Cortez. You can only reach it by water taxi from the marina or by walking along the base of the cliffs from Playa El Médano at low tide. The beach is tucked into a cove with calmer water on the Cortez side, though you're swimming without lifeguards and dodging boat traffic from tour groups coming to see the Arch. The rock formations are the draw—the natural stone archway frames the beach and marks the division between the two seas. The Pacific side, officially Divorce Beach, is a different story. Swimming there is prohibited. The rip currents are serious and people have drowned ignoring the warnings. Most visitors stay on the Cortez side, where the water is swimmable if you're cautious and aware. Bring what you need—there's no shade and no facilities. The water taxis run frequently, and most will wait or pick you up on a return trip.
