Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Los Cabos right now.
Party-minded crowds roam the main strip of Cabo San Lucas every night from happy hour through last call, often staggering home or to hotel rooms just before dawn. It's not hard to see why this is the nightlife capital of southern Baja.
Indeed, Cabo is internationally famous (or infamous, depending on your view) for being a raucous party town, especially during spring break. On the other hand, nightlife in San José del Cabo is much more low-key: it's more about a good drink and conversation as opposed to the table-dancing chaos you'll find in some Cabo hot spots.
Between the two towns, the self-contained resorts along the Corridor have some nightlife, mainly in ever-improving restaurants and bars, which can mix up some fabulous cocktails themselves.
The lines between "bar," "nightclub," and "restaurant" are blurry here. Never forget that enjoying a fine dinner is a time-honored way to spend a Los Cabos evening. Also, don't forget that things shift into lower gear during the lowest of the low season—those slow, sweltering months of August and September when some places curtail their offerings, or may close for a few weeks altogether. Never fear though: you'll find nighttime fun here no matter what season you visit.
Caborey offers a nightly 2½-hour sunset-dinner cruise on a three-deck catamaran. The cost is $129 and includes a full prix-fixe dinner with your choice of one of six main courses, an open bar for domestic beverages, and a Las Vegas–style show of Mexican music. Departure time is 5 or 6 pm, depending on the timeof year. Check online for discount tickets.
Jazz plays nightly as passengers aboard the Tropicat watch the sun set over the 65-foot catamaran, which departs at either 5 or 6 pm, depending upon the time of year. The two-hour excursion is $92 per person and includes premium wines and hors d'oeuvres. The catamaran departs from Dock No. 4, between the cruise ship pier and the dolphin center.
