Beach, Golf, Explore, Food, Fun!
Local Beaches
The most beautiful beaches of the Cabo region are located in close proximinty to your accomodations! They begin at La Playita, just east of town on the other side of the estuary, and run all the way down the coast to the beaches of CABO SAN LUCAS! Because these beaches face the Pacific Ocean, some are a bit more exposed to the influences of swells and waves. Pick the beach to safely fill your desires and abilities for swim, snorkel or surf.

San Jose Del Cabo Dining Ideas
There is every type of cuisine and dining experience you could ask for very close by in San Jose. Open air local restaurants featuring fresh tortillas and tacos with homemade salsas will get you in and out content and satisfied for well under $10. Great seafood, sushi and Mexican food are found all around the downtown area and one of our favorites and highest rated choices is a short walk down the hill from the condo where fresh ceviche and sashimi are prepared each day to order. The link below is just a partial list of excellent local choices, we have our own list in the condo as well to insure that selecting a great restaurant is easy to do.
San Jose Del Cabo Art District
One of San Jose's most enjoyable attractions is Thursday night Artwalk in the historic district. Walk the ancient streets with a glass of wine from a friendly local gallery owner and browse the streets and main square taking in the many local artisits offerings. Shops remain open and are friendly and eager to answer questions or just let you linger at your own pace. Check out the link below for more details and get an overview of the many galleries that are part of Artwalk.
Great Hiking Adventures
Baja is mostly known for its deserts and beaches but the mountains not only offer incredible views but oasis, waterfalls and hot springs in various areas with different plant and animal life. One of these areas is at the base of the Sierra de la Laguna Mountains outside the town of Santiago in Baja California Sur.
This can be a great day trip from anywhere from Los Cabos to Los Barilles and all of the East Cape area. The coolness of the air with large Fichus shade trees, breezes and cold water these areas can be very refreshing. There 2 seperate place that you may want to visit the Canyon del Zorro (Fox Canyon) or the Aguas Calientes (Hot Water) area with hot springs and cold pools and creek hiking. Both Canyon del Zorro and Aguas Calientes are incredible areas to visit but difficult to enjoy both in the same day.
