San Jose del Cabo was for hundreds of years, the only community at the tip of the Baja California
Peninsula. With its natural fresh water oasis flowing into palm-lined lagoons at the oceans edge, the
area supported Indian communities and hundreds of species of wildlife for thousands of years before
colonization by the Spanish. During the pre-colonial period it was a watering and provisioning stop for
Spanish galleons. San Jose del Cabo was finally settled in 1730 with a Jesuit mission and fort to help
stabilize the region against pirates.
Nowadays the quaint town of San Jose del Cabo has an almost fantasy land quality about it.
In city center one will find a gorgeous Spanish colonial styled city hall with murals of old
Baja inside its corridors. Within, there’s a two-story courtyard shaded by a huge Mexican Laurel.
San Jose del Cabo exhibits the best of traditional Mexico with its blocks of unhurried streets and
graceful tree covered sidewalks, its scores of shops, galleries, fine restaurants, boutiques and total
absence of popular franchises such as McDonalds, Pizza Hut, and Hard Rock Café. It’s a place to explore,
unwind, take-in and treasure.

‘Picturesque and historic San Jose del Cabo’.
San Jose del Cabo is more laid back and traditional than Cabo San Lucas.
It is 18 miles east of San Lucas, and the town center is a few blocks away from the waterfront. A nice main
street and quieter surroundings are San Jose's attractions. It has lots of restaurants too, and many nice
housing developments.
San Jose del Cabo is home to some of the finest hotels and resorts to be found anywhere including the
One & Only Palmilla hotel located a couple of miles west of town. Here one can enjoy drinks overlooking
the surf below, the Palmilla sportfishing fleet beyond and excellent beaches for swimming and snorkeling
in between. Adjacent are famous golf courses and million dollar homes of the rich and famous, and the
legendary surfing spot of Costa Azul.
Other quality hotels worth checking out include the El Encanto Inn and Tropicana Inn both right in
downtown. Casa Natalia is a wonderful boutique hotel with upscale dining and services, and for an
all-inclusive hotel experience where food, drinks, and entertainment all come with the room – try
the Presidente Inter-Continental Los Cabos Resort, Crown Plaza Los Cabos Beach Resort, The Grand Baja
Resort & Spa or Royal Solaris Resort Los Cabos, all located on the Sea of Cortez beachfront.
San Jose del Cabo hosts many excellent restaurants, which are typically uncrowded, low keyed and
elegant compared to the more tourist oriented Cabo San Lucas establishments. Good picks are El
Chilar Restaurant for unique professionally prepared regional dishes, Morgan’s Restaurant for fine
continental food with a local interpretation, Baan Thai for Asian cuisine in a sophisticated
tropical setting, The Tulip Tree (El Tulipan) for good Latin and Gringo fare prepared by the
Canadian chef owner, Local 8 for ‘International Fusion Cuisine, La Panga Antigua for Baja Seafood
elegantly prepared, La Dolce an Italian Bistro adjacent to the plaza and Da Antonio’s for the
finest Italian and continental food this side of the Old World located adjacent to the Hotel
Presidente on the beach the end of Mijares boulevard opposite downtown.
For many tourists, after visiting fast and frenetic Cabo San Lucas the first time, San Jose del Cabo
ends up being their destination of choice for future visits. Indeed most folks come to
Mexico to get
away, take it slow and appreciate the ambience as found in San Jose del Cabo.

San Jose del Cabo activities
and sidetrips:
San Jose del Cabo is a place where one can ride horses on uncrowded trails overlooking beaches where
the turtles lay their eggs (the Presidente Inter-Continental Los Cabos Resort has a turtle nursery),
a place where nature lovers can hike through the estuary, bird watch, ride mountain bikes, surf, fish,
golf, snorkel, or just explore the neighborhood.
San Jose del Cabo offers visitors a wide array of activities. The six championship golf courses and
one municipal course have transformed Los Cabos into a world class golf destination. Other popular
activities include horseback riding, ATV tours along the beach or into the mountains, mountain biking
and even rock climbing are also gaining in popularity. Many of the hotels have tennis courts, some
available to non-guests, for a fee. Relaxation is, of course, an area specialty that is very affordable
and does not require a lot of equipment or experience. Be assured a vacation here will not be lacking
for things to keep you busy. So pack your bag, get on a plane and be prepared to enjoy yourself.
Tours to Cabo Pulmo on the East Cape are very popular. This is the home of the only living coral reef
in Western North America and is a great area for snorkeling and Scuba diving.
