Cabo San Lucas sits where the Baja desert meets the sea, marked by the dramatic granite arch of El Arco where the Pacific Ocean and Sea of Cortez collide. It's the anchor stop on most Mexican Riviera itineraries, prized for its near-year-round sunshine, sport fishing, and lively marina packed with restaurants and beach clubs.
Cabo San Lucas in December offers pleasant temperatures, with highs around 79°F and comfortable lows near 59°F. Rain is uncommon, with only about 1 rainy days expected across the month — ideal for beach days and shore excursions. Cool desert evenings, dry and sunny days
This is one of the most popular months to visit Cabo San Lucas, so book shore excursions early — the top snorkeling spots and tours sell out fast. Lightweight layers work well: a light cardigan for evenings on deck and breathable tops for port days cover most conditions.
