This mile long beach expanse runs from the south side of the San Jose del Cabo estuary next to the Presidente InterContinental All Inclusive Los Cabos Resort ending at the Las Mañanitas condo resort development on the south. Most of the hotels in this region feature fine pools and beach side activities, excluding swimming in the ocean.

Playa el Estero (Estuary Beach)
Beginning at the East end of the Playa Hotelera (Hotel Beach) in San José del Cabo, one will find San José’s famed estuary. The freshwater lagoon has over three hundred and fifty species of wildlife and lush vegetation. Fed by underground aquifers, the river and lagoon are one of the few oases in the otherwise nearly desolate lower Baja peninsula. September 05, 2021
