We just got back from our first vacation since the pandemic and it feels SO good to travel again. Mexico is one of our favorite places to travel to. Not only is it super convenient being so close to the border, the culture, food and experiences you receive for the cost of your vacation is very much worth it.
You certainly get the biggest “bang for your buck” when traveling to Mexico. We love take advantage of the all-inclusive resorts and hospitality we receive when staying at them.
Last week, we spent 4 amazing days in Los Cabos at the Villas Del Palmar resort. It’s our favorite resort in Cabo for a number of reasons. The food is all amazing, it’s a wonderful family destination as they have plenty of entertainment options and activities throughout the day and have a killer Michael Jackson impersonator who puts on an amazing show on Friday nights at the resort- and its ALL included with the cost of an all-inclusive package. We’re only about two hours away from Los Cabos and we try to make it out to the resort at least once a year.

Mexican beaches continue to remain a popular destination among US travelers for all the reasons mentions above and many more. Planning your trip in advance can land you some pretty awesome deals.
One thing you do want to look out for when booking your next Mexican vacation is that many of the Mexican beaches have hurricane seasons, be sure to stay away from the rainy months or you will spend your vacation indoors or worse- stuck in a tropical storm.
So how do you choose which Mexican beach you want to visit for your next vacation?
I’m going to break down the destinations that are known for being some of the most beautiful beaches in the whole world. You are guaranteed to experience gorgeous sunsets, blue waters and amazing food at each and every one of these destinations below!
Los Cabos
Los Cabos is made up of two parts: Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo. Los Cabos is where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific Ocean. It’s a popular destination for surfers and known for “Lover’s Beach,” an island you can access through one of many private boating experiences. Los Cabos is warm year-round, making it a popular travel destination during the winter months. Only a 2 hour flight from San Diego, Cabo is a go-to destination for many Californians.
