Karla & Erick | Cabo Realty | Century 21 Paradise Properties

Cabo Real is a 3,000-acre master-planned community in the middle of the Los Cabos Tourist Corridor, about halfway between San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas. It’s known for its Robert Trent Jones Jr. golf course with Sea of Cortez views. Now it’s going through its biggest change in decades: Cabo Real Surf Club, which is building North America’s first private Endless Surf wave basin and turning the golf course into a private club for owners. This guide is for buyers from California, Texas and Arizona and covers the golf, the new Surf Club, location and what the changes mean if you’re buying here.

• A new kind of amenity. No other community in Los Cabos combines a private wave basin, golf and a beach club.
• Two markets. The established Cabo Real neighborhoods sit alongside the new Surf Club releases, so compare both before deciding.
