Palmilla Beach

Palmilla Beach is one of the most beautiful spots close to San Jose del Cabo and it’s easily accessible by car. The long, horseshoe-shaped beach is sheltered in a protected cove and the surprisingly tranquil waters of the Sea of Cortez make it the place to be for a leisurely swim or snorkeling. In fact, Playa Palmilla is where the annual Ironman Los Cabos half-triathlon takes place. There are a few rental beach umbrellas and palapa huts to rest under, as well as kayak and boat rentals. Palmilla is also a famous fishing spot with many local fishermen starting off their day here and many tourists chartering boats to try their luck in game fishing in the open seas. Behind the beach, you’ll find the world-class One&Only Palmilla resort and the legendary Jack Nicklaus Ocean Nine golf course.
