Cabo in early December...where to go

Post by sf_firestarter »

Spent 10 days on the East Cape in a home at Shipwrecks last May and had a great time. I'm going back on a couple of free flights for the same length but this time in early December. This means the cape will basically be flat as the southern hemisphere is in summer. So therefore, it looks like this time the Pacific side is the answer to take advantage of the winter north swell.

So, I'm looking for some suggestions for a central location that is wife friendly on the Pacific side. Any good ideas?

You might check out Hotel California, Todos Santos.

Peace and quite, nothing like Cabo if that's what you're looking for.

Hey Joe,
I have been there. Don't tell anyone as this is a extremely sensitive subject discussing surf spots with other surfers. Oops kneeboarders. The possibilities can be world class.
I can post. Water usually 73. Four to six great places to eat in town, if you have the energy to walk, a carnation ice cream store, and some of the best shopping streets for the Mrs.
Call for info,
Scott

Thanks, I'll check out Todos.

Yeah, quite Cabo is not, last time I went down we drove into downtown Cabo and turned around and left. I do like old town San Jose Del Cabo though as it has an authentic local feel.

So I'm heading down Dec 7th-14 to Todos Santos unfortunately the wife is not going. Looks like one of my buddies is going to be my bitch. On the bright side the trip will now be 100% surf centered and I can stay and eat much cheaper.
