Spring break is a time to escape the cold of winter, reconnect with loved ones, and take a break from work routines. It’s a time for fun, relaxation, and adventure, all of which can be found in the paradise of Mexico’s coastline. A spring break vacation in Los Cabos is one you don’t want to miss as, in recent years, Cabo San Lucas has become the number one spring break destination for good reason.
The best spring break vacation destination checklist isn’t complicated. It’s largely stunning beaches, booze, and nightlife. Some of the most famous places in Mexico are Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Riviera Maya, Puerto Vallarta, and Los Cabos — all thriving with all-inclusive resorts, uninhibited nightlife, and pristine waters.
Where is Los Cabos?
Located at the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula in Mexico, Los Cabos is home to stunning beachfronts, first-class golf courses, an array of art galleries, and amazing nightlife which makes for the perfect spring break vacation. Famous for its geography, Los Cabos is where the desert meets the sea. It has the Sea of Cortez (also known as the California Gulf) and the Pacific Ocean on its sides. In fact, Los Cabos receives over two million tourists each year, especially in the high season from late October to early May.
Is Cabo San Lucas the Same as Los Cabos?
You indeed aren’t the only one who has been wondering that. The term “Los Cabos” translates to “the capes” which actually refers to a couple of towns along the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula. As you can imagine, the peninsula features stunning rock and desert landscapes to perfectly contrast the breathtaking blue waters. A spring break vacation in Los Cabos will guarantee more mild temperatures along with all the fun.
There are actually two main areas in Los Cabos — Cabos San Lucas (think beach excursions, shopping, and partying) and San Jose del Cabo (think historic and artsy town).
Cabo San Lucas, or Cabo, is the definition of fun in the sun. One of the top 5 destinations in Mexico, it offers beautiful sceneries and the perfect warm weather. No wonder Hollywood A-listers are often spotted here.

San Jose del Cabo offers a charming historic atmosphere and more of a tranquil vibe. The historic town center features a 1700s central square, cobblestone streets, adobe houses, and jacaranda trees. Streets are lined with 19th-century houses converted into diverse dining options and shops selling a wide array of arts and crafts from souvenirs and silver to handicrafts and local gemstones. Los Cabos has beautifully maintained its colonial-style architecture. Eclectic art galleries feature traditional and contemporary style sculptures and high-end paintings from various Mexican and international artists.
