Accessible from Interstate 94 and Interstate 275, the Detroit Wayne County (DTW) airport has won a customer service award for airports of its size. If you prefer not to drive to the airport, take the SMART bus from Central Detroit. Alternatively, the Amtrak station is about 12 miles from the airport, and taxis are readily available. Travelers usually find flight duration is about four-and-a-half hours. Upon arriving at San Jose Cabo Los Cabos (SJD), take the SuburCabos public bus or a private shuttle or taxi.

Attractions and tips

If you're a golf fan, check out the Cabo del Sol Ocean Course, an 1,800-acre facility that borders the Sea of Cortez. Also, visit the Cabo Wabo Cantina to enjoy live music and entertainment every day in a nightclub atmosphere. If you venture to the southern tip of Cabos San Lucas, look for the Arch of Cabo San Lucas, a rock formation known locally as El Arco.

Medano Beach, Playa Grande and Solmar are some of the popular areas for tourist accommodations, both full-scale resorts and hotels. If you want to make the most of the area's beaches, the best time to visit is in May or June, because that's before storms are likely to hit. Alternatively, the fall is great for fishing, and the end of the year is ideal if you're interested in whale watching.
