Staying in San Jose Del Cabo

San José del Cabo is the quieter half of the Los Cabos pair, and its draw is a historic centre of galleries, restaurants and a plaza you can cover on foot, with the estuary offering birds and gentle dawn walks. The main beach is long and beautiful, but the currents mean it is for walking rather than swimming; the swimmable coves at Palmilla, Chileno and Santa María lie along the Corridor, 10-25 minutes by car. A hotel zone serves pool-focused beachfront stays, and Puerto Los Cabos adds golf and a new marina. Several carry addresses on the boulevards and the malecón — Boulevard San Jose, Paseo Malecon San Jose, Malecon San Jose, Boulevard Mijares, Retorno Playa Añuiti — in the beachfront and hotel-zone part of town. Others are on the centre's own streets: Calle Morelos, Degollado, Centenario, Miguel Hidalgo. That split suits different trips: couples and short-break visitors who want the plaza, galleries and restaurants on foot gravitate to the centre inns, families and pool-and-beach days to the boulevard properties, and flyers to the one hotel at the airport access road.

Plan your stay

Getting there and around

The site's guidance is about the sea rather than arrival, but it is clear on distances once you are in San José del Cabo: the swimmable coves at Palmilla, Chileno and Santa María lie along the Corridor, 10-25 minutes by car, so a car is the practical way to reach real swimming from any of these hotels. Hotel Aeropuerto Los Cabos sits on the airport access road at Col. Las Veredas for arrivals and departures. Within town, the centre's galleries, restaurants and plaza are on foot from the Calle Morelos, Degollado, Centenario and Miguel Hidalgo addresses, and the estuary offers gentle dawn walks.
