8 Expert Tips for Maximizing Your Summer in Los Cabos

Los Cabos is the quintessential summer destination, known for its stunning beaches, outdoor activities, and endless sunshine. With an ocean breeze and average temperatures around 35°C (95°F), it’s no wonder many visitors find refuge in this coastal paradise when compared to other sunny destinations. The combination of cooler evenings, refreshing ocean breezes, and a variety of activities makes it an ideal spot to live and visit.

To help you make the most of your summer in Los Cabos, we’ve compiled eight expert tips to ensure you enjoy everything this beautiful region has to offer while staying cool and comfortable.

1. Keep Your Home Cool

Before we dive into the fun stuff, first it’s important to ensure your air conditioning systems are well-maintained at this time of year. Regular servicing once a year will keep them running efficiently. You can improve the insulation in your home by sealing gaps around windows, doors, and other potential leaks can help retain cool air while reducing your family’s energy consumption.

Pro Tip: To live like a local, take advantage of Los Cabos' natural breeze by using cross-ventilation. Open windows and doors on opposite sides of your home to create a cross-breeze, allowing cooler air to flow through and reducing reliance on air conditioning. This not only saves energy but also helps lower your electricity bills.

2. Enjoy a Resort Day Pass

For a refreshing experience, consider getting a day pass to a Los Cabos resort. Right now, we’re loving all that Corazon Cabo Resort & Spa has to offer. Spend your day by the pool and enjoy the best swimmable beach in Cabo, with its crystal-clear waters. Relax in shaded cabanas while a resident DJ plays live music.

An adult day pass is priced at $800 MXN, which includes an $800 MXN credit for food and drinks. Kids aged 6 to 12 can access for $400 MXN, also including a $400 MXN credit. Children under 6 get in free of charge.

3. Book Water-Based Activities and Tours

Los Cabos offers a range of water activities perfect for staying cool and entertained. Book a 4-hour snorkelling tour along the Los Cabos Corridor to explore the coral reefs and marine life at Chileno Bay. Expect to see manta rays, colourful fish, and potentially even sea turtles in their natural environment.

For a more luxurious experience, consider spending the day on an all-inclusive yacht charter in Cabo. Enjoy stunning sea views, personalized service, and gourmet meals prepared by a private chef while you sip on craft cocktails and take in the spectacular coastline.

4. Opt for Breathable Fabrics

Summer is the ideal time to wear clothing made from lightweight, breathable materials. Cotton, linen, and moisture-wicking fabrics are perfect as they allow your skin to breathe and help manage sweat. This will greatly enhance your comfort level as well, especially during outdoor activities.

5. Explore Santiago

Change up your routine with a trip to Santiago, where you can swim at the Cascada Sol de Mayo waterfall. A short hike through scenic desert terrain leads to this beautiful waterfall and swimming hole, perfect for a refreshing swim. The area at the base of the Sierra Laguna mountains has breathtaking canyon views and you can jump into a deep pool 25 feet below if you’re feeling adventurous.

To reach Cascada Sol de Mayo, drive past Santiago off Highway 1, following signs for “Cascada Sol de Mayo” or “Rancho Ecológico Sol de Mayo.” The paved road will eventually turn to dirt and end at a small restaurant. From there, follow the well-marked trail about half a mile past the restaurant, over a ridgeline, and into the canyon. Wear sturdy shoes for the rocky hike, and consider bringing a small $5 USD donation to support the facilities.

6. Schedule Outdoor Activities for Cooler Times

If you’re not near water, consider planning your outdoor activities for the cooler parts of the day, such as early morning or late afternoon. This helps avoid the hottest parts of the afternoon and reduces the risk of heat-related health concerns.

7. Seek Indoor Escapes

Sometimes, staying cool indoors is the best option. During days like these, why not explore Cabo San Lucas’ shopping centres like Puerto Paraíso Mall and Luxury Avenue? These nearby malls have a range of boutiques, luxury stores, a bowling alley, dining options, and a cinema for hours of entertainment.
