Baja Cantina Beach The world’s most beautiful dining room is framed by sand, sun, and surf, and looks out over the granit monuments that stretch from the Cabo San Lucas Marina to Land’s End. Tables are set seaside on the soft sands of Médano Beach, and when the sun goes down, moonlight plays on the Sea of Cortés and the colorful lights that outline anchored boats seem almost close enough to touch. It’s a breathtaking scene, and Baja Cantina Beach does it justice with a delicious array of local seafood dishes and other delicacies, tropical cocktails like margaritas and mojitos, and fine wines from Baja’s Valle de Guadalupe and beyond. Stop by for breakfast, sample afternoon sushi platters, or kick off your espadrilles for the requisite barefoot fine dining, and prepare for one of Cabo’s most memorable sunset dinners. For starters, try the smoked tuna tartar, with a savory mix of yellow fin, olive oil, lemon, capers, sesame seeds, cilantro, and red onions. Entrée highlights include the fresh catch of the day prepared in one of six different styles, most notably the Baja Cantina signature preparation with fresh herbs and buttered crust. Combo platters for two are an excellent option for date night couples, particularly the Isla Guadalupe with lobster tail, filet mignon, shrimp tostada, and chicken enchiladas in green sauce. Specialty menus are offered on Wednesdays when the restaurant hosts its celebrated Fiesta Mexicana with marga- ritas, mariachis, fireworks, and folkloric dances.

Baja Cantina Marina Moules à la crème Normande aren’t on the menu, but you can get just about everything else at this popular, unpretentious waterfront cantina: from Mexican classics and American comfort food standards to pizzas, steaks, seafood, and, most recently, Asian-style bowls. The unmatched menu variety—especially combined with first-class service and scenic marina views—has made Baja Cantina a local dining fixture for close to a quarter of a century (the restaurant has served as headquarters for the Bisbee’s Black and Blue marlin fishing tournament since 1991). Belly up dockside for breakfast ballast like eggs Benedict or Belgian waffles; fill up on lunchtime favorites like the signature salad with honey-lime Opposite page: The organic Exotic salad at Solomon’s Landing Restaurant.
