If snorkeling isn’t on your agenda, it should be during your time in Los Cabos. Shorelines at Playa Santa María and Chileno Bay are great spots for mingling with schools of colorful fish. Every day, a variety of boats in each of these bays brings eager visitors to come eye-to-eye with a rainbow of fish. By now, the fish expect company and show off their colors without inhibition. The mix of species is remarkable and one of the best encountered anywhere.
