If there’s one activity that is synonymous with the tropical paradise destinations that surround the Pacific Ocean, it’s surfing. Invented in Hawaii, and spread around the globe to everywhere with a great break, the sport is both extreme and laid back. Los Cabos is the home of surfing on the Baja Peninsula, and one of the world’s biggest surfing events is held right on the shores of our beautiful beaches. As Cabo is a meeting point of two major bodies of water – the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez – the movement of water and distinct weather systems can create unique and exciting conditions in the surf. The beauty of the destination means that you can go from the Pacific side to the Cortez side in just over an hour’s drive in some places, so you can experience completely different beach conditions. It’s also very unlikely that you’ll face bad conditions on both sides at the same time, so you’re almost never left high and dry with an unexpected bad day’s swell.
