Bahía Chileno

Chileno Bay

The Local's Weekend Beach


Family Time Must See

Address:
16 km (9 miles) West of San Jose del Cabo
San Jose del Cabo, Baja

Description

Located just West of San Jose del Cabo at kilometer 14, this amenable beach is the Mecca for locals looking for a weekend beach retreat. Palm trees provide much needed shade, while gentle tidal pools for the kids make this a great beach for families. There is also an amazing reef just offshore, which provides ample snorkeling and scuba diving opportunities. If you want to escape the local crowds, plan to visit on a weekday when the beach is not so congested.
