Stroll the peaceful streets of San Jose del Cabo with its small cluster of unique shops. Whether you're looking for barber and beauty-hairdresser shops, newsstand and books, travel agencies, precious stones and silver or other jewelry, clothing and swimwear, Mexican handicrafts, hammocks, gifts and souvenirs, leather products, shoes, tequila, or cigars, you'll find it.
Diving and Snorkeling: Many underwater adventurers have described the Sea of Cortez as "The World's Richest Sea". There is an astonishing diversity of fish and marine wildlife, as major currents (the California current, Panamic current, and the North Equatorial Countercurrent) mix at the southern tip of the Baja California and feed this coastal region with an abundance of rich nutrients necessary to sustain such a large underwater ecosystem. The waters are teeming with life in a myriad of colors and varieties. All of this makes for great diving and snorkeling. Beginner and advanced divers will enjoy the challenges near Land's End. Visibility ranges from 30 to 50 feet in winter months, to over 100 feet from April through October. The Abyss, about 100 feet from the arch, is recommended for advanced divers only. The North and South Wall are also popular canyons with steep granite walls and ledges. Some of the more popular dives are ANEGADA: 90 foot dive, terrific for night diving; LA PUNTA: 60-foot dive, where the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez meet, with sightings of whale shark, manta rays, and sea turtles; LA LARGA: Spectacular sand cascades and a reef; EL BENTARRON: 66-foot dive, excellent rock formations; CABO PULMO: A living marina of unique fish and stunning coral; and PUNTA GORDA: 160-foot dives, the great diving location for marine life.
Exploration and Sight Seeing: The Gray Whale is found in Arctic feeding grounds between April and November and in Mexican waters from December to April. Between October and February they migrate south, returning north again between February and July.
