Cabo San Lucas: Marina Evacuates Boats as Hurricane Polo Approaches
As Hurricane Polo looms over Baja California Sur, the port of Cabo San Lucas is experiencing a significant change. Since Wednesday, the Marina has been evacuating boats from the marina, leaving some areas in the zone empty. This precautionary measure is part of a broader effort to ensure the safety of these vessels and the people who rely on them.

Graciela Gamez, a local journalist, reports that the evacuation is a direct response to the hurricane's approach. 'The retiro de embarcaciones' began on Wednesday and continues into Friday, as the Marina works to move these vessels to safer locations. This process, while necessary for safety, can be challenging for small operators like my guesthouse, where every boat is crucial.
For expats and digital nomads living in or currently based in Los Cabos, this news carries significant implications. As we adapt to the changing landscape, it's important to stay informed about where to find temporary storage for our watercraft. The Marina has not provided a specific timeline for the evacuation, so staying in touch with local updates and community resources is key.
