San Jose del Cabo Holidays

Meet San Jose del Cabo, the quiet next-door-neighbour of Cabo San Lucas. San Jose del Cabo isn’t glitzy – in fact, the only glitter you’ll see here is when the sun reflects off the sea. What it does have, however, is lots of Mexican charm and narrow streets lined with chalk-coloured cottages.

The plaza’s the beating heart of San Jose del Cabo. It’s got a rich and colourful history dating back to the 1700s, and today, it lines up lots of shops and places to eat. Stroll through the narrow, quiet alleyways of its historic district, and you’ll stumble upon dinky stores, family-run bars and crumbling old churches.

East of the town is the San Jose Estuary, a nature reserve that’s home to hummingbirds, ibis, and herons. There are walking trails here, too. Easy afternoons can be spent wandering around the marshy lagoon. If you’re lucky, you might spot a turtle in the water.
