Playa Hotelera — Walking, Surf Fishing, and Beach Volleyball
Excerpt from Los Cabos Magazine #10 - 2006
A mile from historic downtown, Playa Hotelera (Hotel Beach), the long beachfront of San Jose del Cabo, is a steep beach definitely not recommended for swimming. This beach is popular with walkers, joggers, and dawn and dusk surf anglers. Playa Las Palmas, an easily accessed beach promenade with shade palapas, is below Plazas Garuffi and Caracol, between Viva and Sampaguita condominiums. While there are no watersports, volleyball is popular, with several nets along the beach. There’s a lot to do around Hotel Beach, with a children's play park across from the Fiesta Inn, and a miniature golf course at the Rusty Putter restaurant. There’s the Don Manuel Orantes sea turtle camp and nursery at the beach’s extreme east end, next to the Presidente Inter-Continental. Next door is the lush San José estuary with many migrating birds, flora and fauna, and towering palm groves. A sand burm separates the estuary from the sea, making it possible to walk all the way east to La Playa, a small fishing village, also the site of the new marina at Puerto Los Cabos.
Access: Through any of the hotels, open spaces, or Playa Las Palmas along Paseo San Jose.
