Go for the day and stay for the spectacular sunset over the Pacific.
San Jose del Cabo Art Walk
Color and creativity flow every Thursday night in the traditionally quaint town of San Jose del Cabo during the Art Walk, a festive street party that runs weekly from November to May. Stroll through the flourishing gallery district taking in striking original works of art, sipping wine, and dining in any one of the fantastic courtyard restaurants.
Flora’s Field Kitchen at Flora Farm
Every visit to this destination restaurant situated on a 10-acre organic farm outside of San Jose is an event in and of itself. An unforgettable dining experience, Flora’s Field Kitchen features incredible farm-to-table cuisine, inventive signature cocktails (like the Farmarita and the Farm Julep), a breathtaking setting and a wonderful ambiance. Since it’s one of the most popular spots in Los Cabos, we suggest you make reservations well in advance. Head there early for a tasting at the new El Wine Bar and Café, featuring a 300-bottle collection, specialty coffee, mezcal, tequila and single malt.
Saturday Organic Market
Cabo’s organic foodie scene is on full display at this incredibly popular Saturday event featuring delicious cuisine, live entertainment, children’s activities, arts and crafts, jewelry, and more.

Sightings of the majestic creatures typically begin in December, but the official whale watching season runs from January to April.
