Your destination, San Jose del Cabo, is easily accessible from the Los Cabos International Airport, a short 20 minute cab ride away. San Jose del Cabo has many amenities to offer:

The two cities at either end of the “Golden Corridor” are very different from each other, San Jose del Cabo is more colonial, has a history that dates back to the 1700’s and is a bit more refined and polished. San Jose is the county seat of the municipio (County) of Los Cabos. San Jose is a great place to enjoy a quiet downtown stroll, some less hectic shopping, a quiet lunch or dinner. Many of the colorful shops are located in restored buildings dating back to the early 1900’s.

The sport fishing frenzy, nightlife and the beach scene are not the most important items on the daily agenda here. San Jose is not a typical beach town, even though the beach is very near. The emphasis here seems to be a bit more focused. The daily activities seem more sedate here, a seemingly less hurried atmosphere.

San Jose was a large city (by Baja standards) when Cabo San Lucas was still a tiny fishing village. Now the two cities are about equal in population although San Jose now seems the less busy of the two. The city is built a short distance away from the beach and the lack of a marina seems to have instilled a completely different focus on this delightful city. A marina is proposed for the area and construction is supposed to start soon.

The downtown area is centered around the church, city hall and main plaza with its adjacent park. Most of the activity is within a few blocks of the plaza or around the 9-hole public golf course located a short distance west of town, which is also where most of San Jose’s hotels are located.

A short distance to the east of San Jose you will find the village of La Playita, home of the local fishing fleet. Pangas can be rented from the beach to take you fishing out toward the Gordo Banks, possibly the most productive fishery in the Sea of Cortez.

Just past Palmilla you begin to enter the “Golden Corridor: which is famous for spectacular beaches, even more spectacular beachfront resorts and some of the most incredible golf courses to be found anywhere in the world. This incredible stretch of coastline which lies along the tranquil shores of the Sea of Cortez will lead you to Cabo San Lucas, at the very tip of the Baja Peninsula. There are many, usually deserted, beaches to explore along the corridor, most of which are just a short distance from the road. Two of our areas finest scuba and snorkeling beaches, Chileno and Santa Maria, are located along the corridor between the Holel Cabo San Lucas and the Hotel Twin Dolphin.

Most of the popular BEACHES are located on the east end of town, followed by the marina which is located right in the middle of town. Running along the north end of the marina is the main road which passes through town, where many of the shops, restaurants, and bars are located.

One of the nice things about Cabo is that you can walk to all of the main areas! Even the longest walk, from downtown to the beaches, is less than one mile, and is almost all flat!
