Cut Loose in Cabo San Lucas

Baja California’s most electrifying destination brings it all to the table. Cabo San Lucas is a culinary centerpiece, a mesmerizing marine landscape, and a cultural wonder. Grab a boat ride to tour the iconic soaring rock formations offshore. Or rent a catamaran and soak up the wow-worthy waters yourself. Stroll local museums, coffee roasteries and cozy shops — play your way, however you want to explore. Or stay a little longer on an overnight trip and Baja like you belong, with more time to wine and dine like a local.

Escape to Ensenada

Exploring Ensenada, Mexico invites vibrant tastes and unforgettable adventures. Perched on the Pacific, there’s endless exhilaration waiting on either side of the gold, palm fringed shores of Estero and Mona Lisa beaches — whether you’re looking for bucket-list worthy boasts or authentic Baja flavors. Take to the water and watch for whales. Hike to the top of the towering waterfall of El Salto canyon. Or dive headfirst into the foodie-forward culture famous for its fish tacos and fresh ceviche. No matter what you’re craving, it’s all on the menu.

Catalina is Calling

You don’t have to go far from California to discover a world of ultimate thrills and outdoor chill. Catalina Island sits just offshore — with over 50 miles of coastline waiting for you to unwind. Soak up the small-town charm and do a little shopping in the sun. Get in touch with your wild side by zipline, semi-sub expedition or showstopping hike. From the island's famous bison to its art deco architecture and palate-pleasing cuisine, there's a slice of life for everyone to explore.
