THE CABO CORRIDOR
BEST HOTELS ALONG THE COAST OF CABOThe stretch of coast and highway that runs from south of San Jose del Cabo to near Cabo San Lucas is known as the corridor. Here, the definitive attraction is the coast and the azure blue and turquoise waters of the Sea of Cortez. The late, great writer, John Steinbeck took part in a marine expedition of the Sea of Cortez with marine biologist Ed Rickets and wrote about the area in his Log From The Sea Of Cortez. “At last we stopped in front of a mournful cantina where morose young men hung about waiting for something to happen. They had waited a long time–several generations–for something to happen, these good-looking young men.” Well, something has happened and some may say too quickly. Although it is hard to deny the beauty of the corridor developments, there is still the thought that maybe it was better left untouched. Be that as it may, the corridor offers some of the finest accommodations, amenities and activities in all of Cabo.
Rugged cliffs, quiet coves teeming with hundreds of species of marine life, desert vistas and mountains all come together to create a veritable Eden. For those who love the ocean and enjoy sport fishing, snorkeling, scuba diving and water sports, this place is heaven on earth. Most resorts here offer on-site dining, entertainment and activities from golf to tennis to beach soccer and volleyball making the need to leave to search for things to do almost unnecessary. However, in a place this beautiful and this diverse, we always recommend renting a car for at least a day or two to do some exploring of your own. If a night on the town in Cabo San Lucas is what your are after, it’s best to take advantage of shuttle services from your hotel or take a taxi. Tequila makes for a terrible copilot and Mexican police do not hesitate to arrest the drunken driver.
The corridor is also home to most of Cabo’s premier, world-class golf courses. Designed by the best in the business, these courses are frequent hosts of PGA tour events. All the resorts along the corridor can assist you in booking your tee times and transporting you via shuttle, limo or even in a Hummer, so getting to the course on time and in style is no problem at all.
