Mexico Baja California Sur

San José del Cabo

A tranquil Mexican city known for its colonial architecture, pristine beaches, and the gateway to the Los Cabos region at the tip of Baja Peninsula.

Tips from the community

Just 20 miles northeast of the party mecca sits Cabo San Lucas’ sister city, San Jose del Cabo. Together, these two cities form “Los Cabos.” While development in Cabo exploded, San José del Cabo took another path, quietly evolving into a classy getaway that’s become a haven for artists, foodies, and savvy travelers.
Start your adventure at Plaza Mijares, the heart of the historic district, where the streets are lined with colorful galleries and shops like Shima Shima, a Made-in-Mexico design boutique with goods to drool over. Quell your rumbling tummy at La Revolución Comedor, a brick oven eatery redefining surf and turf, or head to the backyard bar at La Lupita for awe-inspiring Baja-style tacos.
When you’re done perusing the quaint streets, drive out of town into the desert at dusk where an unnamed dirt road will take you to the palm tree oasis that is Flora Farms. In the evening, this birthplace of organic farming in the Sierra de Laguna Mountains sparkles with twinkling lights and lanterns, setting the scene for a more-than-magical dining experience.
Wake up the next morning for a peaceful walk along San José’s quiet sands. While the town’s beaches are blissfully free of revelers, San José del Cabo is still a city. If you’re looking for a truly quiet Baja spring break escape, jump in the car and head north to Cabo Pulmo.
