San José del Cabo: Hilton Los Cabos Beach & Golf Resort - Playa El Bledito

San José del Cabo combines a low-key colonial core with a busy resort coast in a way that reflects its position where the Arroyo San José meets the Gulf of California. At its mouth, the San José Estuary forms a protected wetland that provides habitat for many bird species amid the dry landscape of southern Baja California Sur. The town grew around the Jesuit Misión de San José del Cabo Añuiti, founded in 1730. Today, galleries and restaurants cluster around its central streets, while the coast follows the meeting of desert and sea.

Built around coastal settlements sustained by fishing and sea trade, Baja California Sur grew into a Mexican state defined by the Pacific Ocean, the Gulf of California and a dry peninsula interior. La Paz, the state capital on the gulf, is a principal starting point for the islands and waters off the eastern coast. Farther north, Loreto preserves a key strand of the peninsula’s colonial past: the Mission of Our Lady of Loreto, founded by Jesuits in 1697, was the first permanent Jesuit mission on the peninsula. The Sierra de la Giganta rises behind the gulf shore, while Magdalena Bay on the Pacific side is known for wintering gray whales.
