Hi Dave,
Flying into Cabo San Lucas, which area is closest to the airport? Is it possible to stay somewhere closer than a 45 minute drive each way?
Thanks
Los Cabos is made of 2 towns, Cabo San Lucas to the southwest and San Jose del Cabo in the northeast. The Los Cabos Airport is only a 15 minute drive to San Jose del Cabo, and a little further to Cabo San Lucas, about 35 minutes.
San Jose del Cabo is the more stylish and relaxing of the two towns, known for its Arts District and for having the only swimmable beach in the Los Cabos area (La Playita, or “little beach” on the opposite side of the estuary from downtown San Jose). You’ll find amazing hotels, fine dining restaurants, delicious casual cantinas, a bird sanctuary at the estuary, and stunning colonial architecture.
