Get a taste of the freshest catch of the day, in a fine cevicheria that features cocktails, and oysters in their shell all served to your taste. Delight your palate enveloped by a carefree ambiance alongside the pool, while savoring ingredients from the region.

Our pick: The Arch

With the warm climate of Los Cabos, this special dish, in addition to paying tribute to Cabo’s famous rock formation, is ideal for any time of the year. As we say in Mexico, it is suitable for only the brave due to its unique component, tatemado habanero pepper oil, which gives it a highly spicy kick, although when combined with fish, shrimp, purple onion, tomato, cilantro and avocado it renders an explosion of flavors. Coupled with a Mexican brewed beer, it’s the perfect plan for a much needed laid back afternoon.

Oyster Bar

Nestled right on the beach, this bar serves fresh oysters and local seafood while admiring some of Cabo’s most spectacular views.

Our pick: chocolate clams + fresh coconut

Amidst the fresh breeze of the sea to cool you down on a sunny day, an order of chocolate clams paired with a side of shrimp is a must dish. Seasoned with salt and lemon, or a delicious mignonette sauce with a touch of chipotle to spice things up. This dish is best enjoyed with a refreshing coconut prepared with gin, rum, tequila, or vodka, or you can choose from any of their refreshing cocktails.
