Where to drive to see stuff with our rental car?
Save

I am looking for recommendations on some cool spots to drive in and around Cabo...we will have a car 3 of our 10 days. First time ever in this part of Mexico. Todos Santos? scenic views? Cool dining to drive to? One day, we have a 1pm reservation at Acre....anything in that area to include?

We are pretty adventurous international drivers but not looking for too much stress or hours on end in the car. Will be staying at JW Marriott for this part of the trip.

Thank you.

The waterfalls in Santiago may be an interesting side trip for you. They charge a small fee to enter, but it’s a fun little hike to a water hole where you can go swimming. The hike has a little steep part at one spot but overall it is fairly easy.

Also, if you like Sushi, then you MUST drive out to Zai Sushi in La Fortuna, past Shipwrecks. Make reservations to ensure you have a spot. While there, walk down the arroyo and walk the beach for a while to see a different side of Los Cabos where people live totally “off grid” - it ranges from pure luxury to rustic. You will see wandering cattle as well as donkeys.

Here’s an example of “off grid” living for the rich and famous. Grey Cape is near Shipwrecks. If you are going in December through January, the whales in the waters at Shipwrecks and La Fortuna are plentiful and dry close to shore.

I like driving Hwy 1 north of San Jose to La Paz. Especially up in the mountains there are great little towns and also scenic views. It makes for a long day but I also like visiting Playa Balandra just north of La Paz. Then return on Hwy 19 for ocean views.

Leave early in the morning so you can be back by dark.
