What stays with you

Experience Los Cabos

  1. Explore the center and galleries of San José del Cabo.

  2. Consider a boat outing to see El Arco from Cabo San Lucas when sea conditions allow.

  3. Visit a coastal cove such as Santa María or Chileno, choosing activities according to local conditions.

At the table

Explore fish tacos, regional seafood and restaurants that work with Baja ingredients. Leave space for a simple local meal as well as destination dining.

Beyond the postcard

Gallery visits and conversations with local hosts add context to a trip often centered on the landscape and hotels.

Before you go

Make room for what matters.

When to go

Choose dates around your main interests and keep sea outings flexible. Confirm seasonal nature experiences with a responsible local operator instead of assuming they happen year-round.

Where to stay

Compare Cabo San Lucas for marina access, San José del Cabo for town and galleries, and the corridor for resort stays. Check whether your chosen beach suits the activities you want.

Keep in mind

  • Oceanfront does not mean suitable for swimming; check local guidance and current conditions.
  • Plan transport between the two towns rather than expecting to walk between them.

Your questions

A few things you might be wondering.

Are Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo the same town?

No. They are separate towns within Los Cabos, connected by a coastal corridor.

Can I swim at every hotel beach?

No. Some beaches are unsuitable for swimming. Check the specific beach and follow local advice; a sea view alone is not a swimming guarantee.
