Scuba dive and kayak in Cabo Pulmo Marine Park, home to the Sea of Cortez's only hard coral reef and the wreck of the fishing boat Colima. Visit the 200 bird species that live in the tranquil San Jose's Estuary and Bird Sanctuary. Sunbathers will fall in love with Playa Palmilla, one of Mexico's best beaches.

This was such an unexpected delight! From the minute i walked in the door, there was a personal greeting, invitation to view the interactive artwork and download a free APP to enjoy the gallery on my own or with their docents! The artwork literally comes alive thru the APP, when you touch it. There is a piano piece that you PLAY! Another piece where you and another person can each touch the side and then hold hands. You play music with your fingers on your partner's hand!

Stopped in during the Thursday art walk and whilst exploring the truly lovely and interesting art and grounds, we found ourselves having a great chat with Frank and his wife. There are a few sculptures i have my eye on and I am very keen to return for Christmas holidays!

4. Costa Azul

A great beach to visit during your stay in either Cabo San Lucas or San Jose del Cabo. Not all the beaches in Los Cabos are swimmable, but Costa Azul is a great area for surfing and relaxing. Some good food in the area as well will have me coming back to this section during future trips. Well worth the visit. If you don't want to park on the dirt/beach area with your rental car, check out the small lot at Zippers Bar and Grill. Enjoy

the Mission was open to visit at the main square on Día de Muertos. Very nice inside with a history pillar outside in Spanish and English explaining the church. Interesting history and very nice to see inside. Seems it has been moved many times. Part of the history of this area. On the main square.
7. San Jose del Cabo Mercado Organico
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 59 reviews
The organic market of San Jose del Cabo was born in 2002 as a space to support small local organic farmers. Later the conscious community is invited to share their talent through crafts, food, painting, photography, jewelry and other artistic expressions such as music. We have parking for motor vehicles although it is also recommended to make a walking tour from the historic center of San Jose to our market. Our visitors can expect a space recognized for being a place with soul and spirit that expresses the traditional and multicultural element of Los Cabos.

Located on a dirt road off the back road of Downtown San Jose. The first market you see is not the Organic Market, you cannot see the real Organic Market from the back road of San Jose. Once you turn off the back road, you immediately turn right and follow the dirt road about 1/2 mile to the Organic Market. Super friendly parking guys will guide you to your space, be sure to give these nice guys a tip. You should allow at least an hour maybe an hour and half to be able to take everything in. Be sure to bring small bills and coins with you. Vendors accept either Dollars or Pesos. Lots of food options, mostly mexican but there is also some Vegan vendors, bread, cookies and tea vendors. Fun local experience.

A spectacular beach where tourists come to view the sea lions in the month of June.
Reviewed By stevebQ4499XD - Portland, United States
We really enjoyed this nature walk. You pick up the path just north of the Holiday Inn, which is located on the beach at the east end of the Hotel district. The pathway is not closed, however debris is still evident as they continue to clean up from a recent storm. The pathway to the right, which we took, takes you towards the ocean, within a half mile of fairly easy walking. Your shoes will get a bit muddy as you encounter some low lying area near the estuary water bodies. You'll see hundreds if not thousands of birds of many species. We saw a hawk dive-bomb hunting for fish in the water (around 10am). The spot where the estuary meets the ocean is a very unique feature, has many birds feeding, and is worth exploring.
