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.
