Autumn is one of the best times of the year to visit Cabo San Lucas. Autumn in Cabo San Lucas is right before the winter busy season of tourists. It is a great time for retirees, honeymooners, and families to visit the beautiful beaches without as many crowds. From celebrating the Day of the Dead to going fishing in the beautiful Pacific waters, there are so many things to do in Cabo during the fall season. As summer draws to a close, start planning your fall trip – and be sure to add these 5 items to your list.
Celebrate the Day of the Dead
The Day of the Dead is a holiday celebrated in Mexico. This year it will be celebrated from Saturday, October 31st to Monday, November 2nd. During this time, people gather to pray for loved ones who have died. People also build altars that contain photos, food, drinks, and orange marigolds for the dead in hopes that they will come back to visit. Tamales are a popular food made both for the living and to be offered to the dead. Often family members will clean the grave of their loved ones and spend time around their altar, praying and telling stories about their friends and family members who have passed.
Visitors to Cabo during this time get a chance to witness this beautiful cultural event. In nearby San Jose del Cabo, there is a Festival of Secrets of La Catrina, which gives visitors a chance to take part in the Day of the Dead and learn more about traditional Mexican traditions surrounding the day. Visitors can participate in workshops and celebrations at the festival throughout the weekend.
Fishing
If you enjoy fishing, autumn is a fantastic time to go on a fishing adventure in Cabo. The following fish are plentiful in the waters of Cabo during the months of September, October, and November:
- Blue Marlin
- Sailfish
- Mahi Mahi
- Wahoo
- Yellowfin Tuna
- Bonito
- Striped Marlin
- Black Marlin
Head out on a deep-sea fishing charter with your friends or family. Cabo Discount Tours offers boats from 28 feet long to 40+ feet long. During the fishing charter, you will have everything you need to catch as many fish as possible. All charters come with rods, reels, and lures, as well as fighting chairs. The boats also include a cooler of drinks (necessary for a long day out on the water!) and an on-board toilet. The excursion will be led by an English-speaking captain and crew. Some of the larger boats come with air-conditioned interior space, staterooms, and kitchens!
Enjoy your time out on the water, and hopefully you’ll bring some fish back with you to enjoy that night at dinner. Talk about fresh food!
Enjoy the Weather on the Beach
While back home people are wearing sweaters and enjoying pumpkin spice lattes, visitors to Cabo San Lucas in the autumn enjoy summer-like temperatures all season long. The average high in September and October is 92 degrees, while in November it is 87 degrees. Extend your summer a bit longer by visiting Cabo in the fall and enjoying these amazing temperatures on the beach.
Lay out your towel or rent some chairs and just relax. Enjoy the peaceful sounds of the waves breaking on the sand. Meditate on the sun setting over the beautiful Pacific waters. Read a book, listen to music, do some beachside yoga, or just simply enjoy the views. Fall leaves are beautiful…. but so is a gorgeous day spent by the ocean.
