Tips for Parents: Cabo with Kids

1. Pack for Sun Protection

Cabo’s sunny weather is ideal for vacations but can be harsh on young skin. Make sure to pack plenty of sunscreen, hats, and lightweight cover-ups. Also, remember to bring swim shirts and water shoes for beach days to protect little ones from the sun and rocks.

2. Plan Around Nap and Meal Times

Plan your activities around their natural schedule to keep kids happy and energized. Cabo has plenty of dining options that cater to families, so it’s easy to find restaurants with kid-friendly menus and early dining options.

3. Choose Family-Friendly Villa Rentals

Look for villas that offer pools with shallow areas, rooms for activities, or a game room. Certain villas, like Casa Mirador in Cabo, cater specifically to families, providing entertainment for kids so that parents can enjoy seeing their kids having fun.

4. Stay Hydrated

The hot climate means it’s easy for kids to get dehydrated, especially with all the activities. Carry water bottles wherever you go, and consider packing electrolyte drinks or snacks to keep everyone hydrated and energized.

5. Be Cautious with Wildlife Interactions

While Cabo offers amazing encounters with animals, always choose reputable tour providers that prioritize safety and ethical practices. Avoid any attractions that allow direct interaction with animals, such as holding or feeding, as these might not be safe or ethical.
