Cabo San Lucas is an excellent destination for a bachelorette party. It’s a top place to see in Mexico, full-stop, but it provides a special seaside charm for groups of ladies partying with their soon to-be-bride bestie. With beautiful beaches, warm weather year-round, affordable flights (especially if you travel during the off-season), and lots of things to do, your crew will have so much fun celebrating during a bachelorette weekend.

When planning a bachelorette party, if you’re a best friend or the maid of honor, make sure you always chat with the bride first before you start booking experiences. You’ll want to get their input before you start finding things to do for the whole group.

One top thing you must do when traveling to Cabo for a bachelorette party is a boat cruise. Getting out on the water and seeing the iconic spots around Cabo like the Arch, stopping for a swim, or enjoying food and drinks. It’s a great way to get all the joys of being at the beach, but with the added bonus of not having to brush the sand off your towel every five minutes.
