About
Happy Book is a bookstore inside Puerto Paraiso Mall in the Marina district of Cabo San Lucas. The mall location means excellent accessibility — stroller-friendly, air-conditioned, and steps from food and restrooms. For families spending time at or near the marina, it's a convenient stop to pick up a book or two for kids who need something to read on the beach, by the pool, or during a long drive along the Baja peninsula.
The 3. 7 Google rating is lower than some alternatives, so it may have a more limited selection than a dedicated independent bookshop — manage expectations and check what's in stock when you visit. That said, the convenience of its location inside one of Cabo's main malls makes it worth a quick browse if you're already in the area.
Pairs naturally with a stop at the mall food court or other Puerto Paraiso shops.
