Destination weddings in Los Cabos are popular because of its close proximity to the USA, its high-end resorts, and beautiful beaches. The area is also full of activities to keep guests busy, including sport fishing, whale watching, sailing, diving, surfing, relaxing spa experiences, and world-class golf at eight golf courses, including the 27-hole Palmilla Golf Club designed by Jack Nicklaus.
