East Cape

The East Cape region is loosely defined as a stretch of coastline along the Sea of Cortez that extends from Bahia de las Palmas in the north to the Laguna Hills and El Encanto developments just outside of San Jose del Cabo.

It encompasses the sizable towns of Los Barriles, Buena Vista, and La Ribera, as well as numerous smaller fishing villages and several historic silver mining towns in the mountains.

Although reachable in about an hour by car from Los Cabos, much of the region remains off the grid - accessible via dirt roads, powered by the sun, and watered by delivery trucks and rooftop storage tanks.

Travelers who venture to the East Cape region typically come to pursue one or more water sports and backcountry activities, including snorkeling and scuba diving, kayaking, kiteboarding, hiking, sportfishing and the like. They are willing to forego modern amenities like air conditioning and TV for the simplicity and convenience of having these outdoor activities just a few steps away.
