Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur, Mexico one of the most well known party venues in Mexico.
Although the sea of Cortez carries his name, it was not hernan Cortez, but his navigator, Francisco
de Ulloa that can claim credit for discovering Cabo San Lucas in 1537. Cabo San Lucas soon
became a busy trading port and a rest stop for pirates! Yes, pirates! No wonder this happy place
entertains hearty partiers to this day. British and Dutch ships had an easy time cashing in on the
Spanish treasure ships trying to take their precious cargo back to Spain.

The Spanish treasure-galleon, the "Great St Anne," was captured off Cape St Lucas by Sir Thomas
Cavendish November 14, 1587 prompting King Phillip II of Spain to establish a small fortress at
Cabo San Lucas to try to rid the waters of "undesirables."

With the establishment of a fort at Cabo San Lucas, the area was opened up to exploration.
Settlements along the Baja began to spring up as pearls were discovered in the Sea of Cortez. In
1730 a Jesuit mission, Jose del Cabo, was established to the north. Together, the two towns became
known as Los Cabos (the capes). However, Cabo San Lucas remained largely undeveloped having
no steady water supply.

By the 1930s the population of Cabo San Lucas was still around 400 when it started to become
know as a sports fishing haven. Accessible only by small plane, long range yacht, or anyone willing
to travel 1000 miles of rutted dirt "roads" to get there.

After World War II, word started spreading around Southern California's elite and Los Cabos
became a playground for the rich and famous. By 1950, Bing Crosby, Phil Harris, Desi Arnaz, and
The Duke had built the exclusive hotel Las Cruces on the East Cape. More development followed.
In 1974, with Cabo's population at around 900, the peninsular highway was built and Los Cabos
started to become accessible to Middle America. Mexican architecht Manuel Díaz Rivera purchased
250 acres which would become the development Pedregal.

Marlin fishing tournaments began drawing international attention and Fonatur, the Mexican tourist
agency along with international developers began to pour money and resources into the region.
Construction of an international airport in San Jose Del Cabo, a modern 300 slip marina and a fresh
water pipeline to Cabo San Lucas have ignited the current boom.

Today, sportsmen continue to flock to Los Cabos for world-famous fishing, outstanding diving, and
game bird hunting. However, the area now also draws families, beach lovers, honeymooners, and
golfers. Huge investments in golf courses have been made in the 30 kilometer "Corridor" between
Cabo San Lucas and Jose Del Cabo. 108 holes are already open, with a master plan calling for an
eventual 207 holes. Dramatic course layouts built by some of golf's premier designers take full
advantage of the region's striking landscape.

Cabo San Lucas is the generally agreed upon dividing line between the oceans of the Sea of Cortez
and the Pacific. In fact, at the bay entrance where the famous 'Land's End' arch rock formations are
to be found; on one side of the arch are the relatively cooler waters of the Pacific and on the other,
the always-warmer Sea of Cortez.

Cabo San Lucas boasts dozens of fine restaurant, shopping, a marina, and active nightlife. With
miles of pristine beaches, beautiful scenery, and almost perfect weather, one doesn't wonder that
Los Cabos one of the ultimate resort destinations. Cabo San Lucas was designed literally from
ground-up by the Mexican government to be a tourist destination resort a couple of decades ago. Its
sole purpose is to generate tourism, jobs, and to send 90% of the tax revenues back to Mexico. And
it's been wildly successful. It's flashy and new. It rocks. It's fun to visit, but like the Vegas Strip,
would you want to live there?
