In today’s episode we explore the finest villas and condos for sale at the best surf breaks in and around Los Cabos.

Los Cabos has a long and deep history as a great surfing destination. It all began once the inter peninsular highway was completed in 1974. Of course, you can still drive down in about 20 hours from the crowded SoCal surf breaks. Most surfers fly down with their quiver of boards or rent or buy surfing gear from a multitude of surf shops throughout Los Cabos. Being at the tip of the Baja Peninsula with two major bodies of water, we are blessed with a variety of surf breaks. In fact, there is rarely a time when there is no surf at all, since you can drive about an hour in either direction and get a whole new angle on the swell. Whether you are a grommet looking for a shallow shore break or a seasoned big wave hunter Los Cabos delivers. Here we start on the Pacific side and work our way around the tip through the corridor and over to San Jose.

The Office on the Beach is the original toes in the sand restaurant on Medano Beach. Funny name but serious food experience. The fresh salsa keeps us coming back. The festive atmosphere at lunch and dinner is contagious and has been a favorite for most every Cabo Lover. The service is extraordinary and the dinner shows are always fun.
