Here’s a complete guide on what to pack for Cabo, covering everything from beach essentials to nightlife outfits. Plus, learn how Go Blue Tours can help you prepare for an stress-free spring break.

1. Beach and Swim Essentials

Cabo is famous for its beautiful beaches and crystal-clear waters, so you’ll definitely want to spend time soaking up the sun and enjoying water activities. Here’s what you’ll need:

Swimwear: Pack at least 2-3 swimsuits so you always have a dry one ready. Consider bringing both bikinis and one-pieces or board shorts for different activities, whether you’re lounging on the beach or hitting up a pool party.
Beach Cover-Ups: Lightweight cover-ups or sarongs are perfect for transitioning from the beach to nearby restaurants.
Flip-Flops or Sandals: Comfortable, waterproof footwear is essential for beach days. Choose a pair that’s easy to slip on and off.
Beach Towel or Blanket: While many resorts provide towels, having your own compact travel towel can come in handy, especially if you’re heading out on excursions.
Waterproof Phone Case: Protect your phone from sand and water, especially if you’re planning to go snorkeling or take photos at the beach.
Sunscreen and Lip Balm with SPF: The Cabo sun is strong, so sunscreen is a must. Pack reef-safe sunscreen if you plan on snorkeling, to help protect marine life.
Sunglasses and Hat: Shield your eyes and face from the sun with a pair of UV-protective sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat or baseball cap.
Pro Tip: Go Blue Tours offers all-inclusive packages that include access to some of Cabo’s best beach spots, so you can make the most of your time in the sun without worrying about extra costs.

2. Daytime Casual Outfits

Exploring Cabo during the day calls for light and comfortable clothing. You’ll want outfits that keep you cool while sightseeing or enjoying casual meals.

Lightweight Clothing: Pack breathable fabrics like cotton or linen. Think tank tops, T-shirts, and shorts for guys, or sundresses, skirts, and rompers for girls.
Comfortable Walking Shoes: If you plan on exploring downtown Cabo or taking a boat tour, bring a comfortable pair of sandals, sneakers, or slip-ons.
Backpack or Day Bag: Carry a small bag for daytime adventures, where you can keep your sunscreen, water bottle, and other essentials.
Reusable Water Bottle: Staying hydrated is key, especially in the heat. Many hotels and resorts have refill stations, so a reusable water bottle will be handy.
Pro Tip: Go Blue Tours can help you arrange day trips, like ATV tours or excursions to nearby beaches, and make recommendations on what to wear for different activities.

3. Nightlife and Going-Out Outfits

Cabo’s nightlife is legendary, with beach bars, nightclubs, and party boats offering plenty of options for a night out. Here’s what to bring to look your best:

Stylish Evening Wear: For the ladies, pack a few dresses, skirts, or jumpsuits that can be dressed up with accessories. Guys should bring collared shirts, lightweight button-downs, or polo shirts with chinos or jeans.
Comfortable yet Stylish Footwear: Ladies, opt for wedge sandals or dressy flats that are easy to walk in. Guys, bring a pair of casual loafers or clean sneakers.
Accessories: Consider adding some lightweight jewelry, a clutch, or a small purse to elevate your nighttime look.
Light Jacket or Wrap: Cabo evenings can be breezy, so bring a light jacket, cardigan, or shawl to stay comfortable.
Pro Tip: With Go Blue Tours, you can add nightlife experiences to your travel package, such as VIP club access or party boat tickets, ensuring you’re fully prepared for Cabo’s legendary nights.

4. Adventure and Activity Gear

If you plan on taking part in outdoor activities such as snorkeling, hiking, or ATV tours, you’ll need a few extra items to ensure you’re prepared:

Water Shoes: Ideal for water sports or rocky beaches, water shoes protect your feet and dry quickly.
Activewear: Pack a set or two of activewear for activities like zip-lining or hiking in the Sierra de la Laguna Mountains.
Waterproof Bag or Dry Sack: Keep your valuables dry during boat tours or beach outings.
Snorkeling Gear (Optional): While most tours provide gear, bringing your own snorkel mask can be more comfortable if you plan to snorkel frequently.
Pro Tip: Go Blue Tours makes booking excursions easy, with packages that include gear rental for activities like snorkeling and scuba diving. Check with your travel agent for details to avoid overpacking.

5. Toiletries and Personal Care

While many hotels provide basic toiletries, having your own supplies ensures you have exactly what you need. Consider packing:

Travel-Size Toiletries: Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and lotion. Choose travel-sized versions to save space.
After-Sun Lotion: If you get too much sun, aloe vera gel or after-sun lotion can help soothe your skin.
Bug Spray: While not a major concern, some areas may have mosquitoes, especially near water.
Personal Medications and First Aid Kit: Pack any prescription medications you need, plus a small first aid kit with band-aids, pain relievers, and anti-nausea tablets for boat trips.
Pro Tip: Many Go Blue Tours packages include accommodations at all-inclusive resorts where toiletries are provided, so check what your hotel offers before packing.

6. Travel Documents and Money Essentials

Don’t forget the crucial items that make travel possible:

Passport and ID: Required for international travel. Make sure your passport is valid for at least six months after your travel dates.
Travel Insurance Information: Always good to have on hand in case of emergencies.
Cash and Credit Cards: While cards are widely accepted, having some cash in Mexican Pesos can be useful for tips and small purchases.
Copies of Important Documents: Keep digital copies of your passport, travel insurance, and itinerary in case of loss or theft.
Pro Tip: When you book with Go Blue Tours, they help with all the travel essentials, including recommendations for travel insurance and currency exchange tips.
