Local Tips
Carry pesos for small purchases; most tourist spots accept USD but exchange rates may not be favorable. Taxis are pricey; consider using official taxi stands or ride-share apps for safer, more affordable rides.
Cultural Etiquette
Tipping is customary (10–15% at restaurants; small amounts for hotel staff). Beach attire is fine on the sand, but casual neat clothing is expected in town. Greet with a polite 'buenos días' or 'buenas tardes.'
Safety Warnings
While tourist zones are generally safe, exercise caution late at night around remote beaches or unlit areas. Avoid isolated ATMs and be vigilant against petty theft and common beach scams (e.g. overpriced tours). Stick to marked swimming zones as currents can be strong.
Hidden Gems
Visit the Playa Santa Maria cove for snorkeling, the organic markets in San José del Cabo, and the wildlife estuary near downtown. Hike to Fox Canyon for waterfalls off the beaten tourist path.
