Our favorite spots

If you’ve got time to explore, Baja won’t disappoint. Here’s what we love:

Flora Farms – farm-to-table magic
La Lupita – delicious tacos + mezcal
Tamarindos – fresh, local restaurant in a 19th century farmhouse
Take a boat to the iconic arch in Cabo San Lucas
Veleros Beach Club – scenic and chill beach vibe next to El Ganzo
Go whale watching – February is the peak season to spot majestic humpbacks
Taquería El Paisa – best tacos in San José del Cabo (try the vampiro)
Sur Beach House – chic beach club in Cabo San Lucas
Cielomar Rooftop at Viceroy Los Cabos – elevated cocktails with a view
El Ganzo Beach club – fun beach scene with DJs

Road trip ideas:

Todos Santos

Cute surf town with great food (Oystera, DŪM, El Poblano tacos)

La Paz

Capital of Baja California Sur with stunning beaches (Balandra), rooftops (Azotea), and great eats (Barco at Puerta Cortés)

P.S. you can check out Carnaval de La Paz after the wedding!

La Ventana

Where Noah landed his first jibe on a wingfoil, this is an oasis for adventure sports, fishing and Sea of Cortez getaway. Stay at Aqua Ventana with a beachside jacuzzi (this is where Maya & Noah are heading February 17-22), brunch at Pólvora, yoga at Casa Tara, and romantic dinner at Marzalao Wild Gastro Bar

Quick Cabo + Baja Facts

Los Cabos means “The Capes” and includes two towns: San José del Cabo, the historic, cultural heart (and our wedding hub), and Cabo San Lucas, known for its beach clubs, scenic Arch, and big resorts.
Baja is home to the Cardón cactus, the largest cactus in the world. These towering giants can grow up to 60 feet tall and store huge amounts of water to thrive in the desert heat.
February days are usually sunny and warm, but evenings can cool down by the ocean. Bring a light jacket for those breezy Baja nights.
Not all beaches are swimmable due to strong currents. For calm waters, head to beach clubs like El Ganzo, Veleros, or SUR Beach House for safe, relaxing swims (plus a margarita or two).
We were advised that Cabo weddings are often adults-only, but if you’d like to bring your little ones, we can help connect you with trusted, English-speaking nanny or daycare services so everyone can enjoy the celebration.
Did you know there are not just two Californias, Alta and Sur, but two Bajas? Noah first visited northern Baja (Baja California) on a camping trip in high school, and Maya and Noah began exploring southern Baja (Baja California Sur) over the past couple years, and have even spent Thanksgiving and Christmas there. While we were continuously brainstorming where to have our wedding, Cancun, Bulgaria, California, and encountering challenges with each location, it hit us both: San José del Cabo. It has all the elements we’re looking for and the best overall logistics for the group, and wonderful weather this time of year. We hope you love it, too, and we encourage you to take a few days before or after the wedding to discover the southernmost part of California.
