More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Dusk moves over San José del Cabo and the town shifts from bright midday colors into long shadows and warm street lamps. You arrive as the afternoon tide rolls against the historic shoreline near the One&Only Palmilla, where the beach will look like glass under the sinking sun. The van pulls into town, and cobblestone streets direct you toward galleries, the 18th‑century mission, and a small fishing community called La Playita where new development meets old routines.
