Excellent sport fishing, windsurfing and the tranquility of the
beaches have made this area of the East Cape famous. Development is
creeping in, but at the normal Baja pace…SLOW. Several resort hotels
line the shore of the Sea of Cortez offering those who prefer a more
secluded vacation a comfortable alternative to Los Cabos. There are some
interesting side trips to be made (nearby cave paintings and hikes up
into the Sierra de La Laguna mountains), some of which need the services
of a local guide. To the north of Los Barriles, along a sometimes
treacherous road you will discover some incredible beaches and a couple
of “very remote” beach resorts. Los Barriles is a great lunch or early
dinner stop if you are on a day trip from Los Cabos. 45 miles north of
San Jose del Cabo.
