Cabo's legendary 'Marlin Alley' has lured sportfishing aficionados for decades, but these days whale-watching, golfing and partying are edging out this traditional favorite pastime. If that's not your cup of tequila, spend an extended siesta on miles of postcard-perfect beaches.
With an international airport handy and a necklace of luxury hotels lining the coastline, Cabo is no longer an out-of-the-way holiday spot. Its streets bustle with hormone-crazed college kids, high-rolling golfers, avid sportfishers and the cruise-ship crowd.
