2 Best Sights in Los Cabos, Mexico

At the northernmost point of Boulevard Costero, the main street along the waterfront, is an indoor-outdoor fish market where row after row of counters display piles of shrimp, tuna, dorado, and other fish caught off Baja's coasts. Outside, stands sell grilled or smoked fish, seafood cocktails, and fish tacos. You can pick up a few souvenirs, eat well for very little money, and take some great photographs. If your stomach is delicate, try the fish tacos at the cleaner, quieter Plaza de Mariscos in the shadow of the giant beige Plaza de Marina that blocks the view of the traditional fish market from the street.

Officially called the Centro Cívico Social y Cultural Riviera de Ensenada, the Riviera is a rambling, white, hacienda-style mansion built in the 1920s. The former casino and hotel was frequented by wealthy U.S. citizens and Mexicans, particularly during Prohibition. You can visit the café and history museum, and tour the gardens and some of the elegant ballrooms and halls, which occasionally host art shows and civic events.
