Shopping
Hidden Treasures abound in Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo in Los Cabos, and Baja California Sur for the avid shopper. Whether traveling to shop or shopping while traveling, Cabo San Lucas is a quintessential shopping mecca.
In the village of Cabo San Lucas, life radiates from the plazas. Everything is close at hand. For those who love to shop, the main streets and alleys of Cabo overflow with fun and fanciful boutiques brimming with souvenirs, arts and crafts, jewelry, pottery, beachwear and clothing. Featuring a wide range of merchandise, downtown Cabo San Lucas is a great place to discover local artisans, along with everything from traditional Mexican artifacts to American made products. In Cabo San Lucas, at any one of the three main shopping malls, the Plaza Aramburo, Plaza Del Sol, Plaza de la Danza, and the Plaza del Mar Group are some of the coolest businesses in Cabo.
Although downtown Cabo San Lucas offers more authentic Mexican gifts, the Puerto Paraiso Entertainment Plaza that opened in the fall of 2001, caters to shoppers with more expensive and sophisticated tastes. Unique silver jewelry and pottery made by local artists are popular items for tourists to take home. Walking through, it becomes more evident that each store and vendor has a variety of novel gifts.
Boulevard Marina and the nearby streets that back up to the main square, comprise Cabo San Lucas' main downtown shopping district. Located by the harbor, Boulevard Marina is a magnificent area to browse the plazas, and the little boutiques that line both sides of the street. Shoppers can spend hours gazing through shop windows or meandering in and out of interesting locales until they find themselves compelled to purchase those must-have items.
