San Jose del Cabo

  • Plaza Mijares

    A great place to mingle with locals and travelers alike.

    Kayakers and bird-watchers love this estuary.

  • Playa Hotelera

    Most hotels perch along this beautiful stretch of coarse brown sand.

San José del Cabo

San José's downtown is lovely, with adobe houses and jacaranda trees. Entrepreneurs have converted old homes into stylish restaurants and shops, and the government has enlarged and beautified the main plaza. An ambitious multiyear beautification process is underway. Backers hope to get streets repaved, buildings remodeled, and parks installed. A 9-hole golf course and residential community are south of Centro (town center); farther south the ever-expanding Zona Hotelera (hotel zone) faces a long beach on the Sea of Cortez. Despite the development -- and weekday traffic jams -- San José is peaceful. If you want exciting nightlife and rowdy beaches, stay in Cabo San Lucas.
