Driving in Cabo - Depending on the time of year Cabo San Lucas can be a challenge to get around. There streets and traffic can get clogged and it will be very difficult to find parking. Also since there are no street numbers tourists are always driving really slow and sometimes not really paying attention in search for a business or attraction. The streets, especially during the college spring break months of March and April, are clogged with vehicles all in search of parking. Free public parking can be found at the south end of Blvd Marina, but it generally fills quickly. You can always rent a scouter, which will allow you to get around and park quite easily. |

Getting around Cabo on Foot - The best way to get around Cabo San Lucas is to either walk or take a taxi. It is a small town, so everything is very close and you shouldn't have to walk more than 15 minutes to get from one spot to another. Most hotels provide shuttles free of charge. Some just go to other hotels, but if the destination hotel is close to town, you can walk. |
 |
Water Taxis - One of the more exciting ways to get around, and sometimes it is the only way to get to places is by the use of water taxis. For example, if you'd like to go from The Office at Medano Beach to Lovers Beach, the only way to get there is by water taxi. They are easy to spot; just look for one of the boats that looks like this one pulled up onto the beach and walk up and negotiate a price. Most charge between $3-$10. If you are going to Lovers Beach, you can pre-arrange a time for them to pick you up. |
