The storm eased from category three to two but still packed winds of up to 175km/h (110 mph). Mexican authorities have declared an alert in the area, warning of storm surges, landslides and flooding.
They have also prepared shelter for some 30,000 people. The extent of the storm's impact was still not clear before daybreak, but media in the Los Cabos area reported people being injured by flying glass and power cables, and traffic signals down throughout the city. US Marines have been placed on standby to operate emergency equipment in case of landslides.
