The history of the Cabo Wabo Cantina is complete without the story of the name – it goes like this:
Driving into town one day, Sammy noticed a local resident “staggering” and “bashing about” after a night of partying, struggling to keep himself moving forward on foot. As he wobbled into the barbwired fence nearby, Sammy thought to himself, “Hey, that guy is doing the Cabo Wobble!” And so it was born from there – the name that has been with the Cantina for the entire journey!
Cabo San Lucas was just the end to a long dusty road from Tijuana before Sammy and his Cabo Wabo Cantina got here. A sleepy town with a love for fishing and relaxation. Now, the locals and tourists fish for a good time on land and try not to relax too much! They start and end the journey with the Cabo Wabo Cantina – where land ends and the party begins! |
