Best Places In The World To Retire

Nightlife and entertainment is what we are known for in Cabo! Our nightlife is amazing here. You name it, we have it. If you want to go to a Mexican place and you want to hear Ventura music, you can do that. You could also do Mexican karaoke, which is really a riot to watch. There are also high-end, beautiful events that are put on by the city, by the different organizations, etc. There is lots of live music here, both American and Mexican and they are geared towards the tourists.

Nightlife and entertainment is what we are known for in Cabo! Our nightlife is amazing here. You name it, we have it. If you want to go to a Mexican place and you want to hear Ventura music, you can do that. You could also do Mexican karaoke, which is really a riot to watch. There are also high-end, beautiful events that are put on by the city, by the different organizations, etc. There is lots of live music here, both American and Mexican and they are geared towards the tourists. I have friends whose kids have a band that does US rock n’ roll covers. They mimic the original artists, and they sing without an accent so they sound just like the original artists.

 

We also have the street guys who come along; the traveling musicians that walk into the restaurants and play you a song for tips, which are always fun. We also have events. We have beautiful cultural centers here and we have different musical events that are put on by different organizations in the towns at different times. La Paz, for their Mardi Gras, just had the whole malecon filled with music and all kinds of entertainment. 

 

Our nightlife is huge. There are clubs that you can go to that are private. Out on the beach, there is a jazz singer from the US named Daline Jones who performs every Sunday afternoon. So you could hear jazz on the beach. A lot of the resorts that people stay in offer day passes. So if there is a special event going on and you wanted to go, you could just get your day pass and all your drinks and food would be included.

 

New Year’s celebration is huge here. There are fireworks on the beach every Friday and Saturday night at the different resorts and so as a local expat living here, you have access to all those things. As a tourist, a lot of the resorts offer their own programs as well.

 

The very first time I came to Cabo before I moved here, we stayed at a resort in La Paz that was all inclusive and we had live entertainment a couple of times a day. Some places have a locals’ discount. You just have to tell the resort that you are a local and ask if they have a local’s discount. If they have it, you will receive a 10% to 15% discount. Once you stay here for some time, you will get to know the places that have a local’s discount without asking them. But for the most part, even without the discount, there are plenty of places to go to where you don’t have to spend much and you could have your dollar shots of tequila.

 

We have what’s called the Los Cabos Passport Card, which is issued in January and July and it is good for a year from whenever you purchase it. It costs $80 and it gives you 2 for 1 deals. You could use it for restaurants, activities, services, etc. If you want to ride an ATV out on the desert, they will do it 2 for 1. If you want to go out on a deep-sea fishing tour, they’ll do it 2 for 1. They also have prepaid vouchers that are discounts and some of them never expire unless the place goes out of business. 

 

In short, with regard to nightlife and entertainment, you name your poison, and it’s probably available to you.

Never assume that people are going to stay in their own lanes. People will pass you on the inside.  People will pull out in front of you.  Dogs and pigs will run out in front of you and the oncoming traffic.  Sometimes you may encounter an ox cart or a cow crossing if you are on some of the secondary roads around San Juan Del Sur, but these animals can also be on some of the paved roads as well.

There are plenty of religions in Belize. The most common one is the Seventh Day Adventist. Their church buildings are not very old; unlike the Catholic churches, which can be very old.
