The East Cape of Los Cabos offers a lifestyle that many longtime residents describe as what Cabo felt like 30 years ago—quiet, natural, and deeply connected to the sea. Stretching north of San José del Cabo along the Sea of Cortez, the East Cape is known for wide-open beaches, uncrowded coastline, and a slower, more authentic pace of life that continues to attract buyers seeking space, privacy, and simplicity.

The East Cape has long been a favorite destination for fishermen, with rich offshore waters and easy access to some of the best fishing grounds in Baja Sur. In the spring months, steady winds and warm temperatures make the area especially popular with windsurfers and kitesurfers, while the generally calm, warm waters of the Sea of Cortez are ideal for swimming, paddleboarding, snorkeling, and a wide range of water sports year-round.

Real estate on the East Cape ranges from beachfront homes and off-grid retreats to small communities and emerging developments. Much of the area remains intentionally rustic, with many properties powered by solar energy and water delivered by truck, appealing to buyers who value sustainability and independence. This off-the-grid lifestyle is part of the East Cape’s charm and a major draw for those looking to disconnect without sacrificing natural beauty.

For buyers seeking a more traditional infrastructure, Misión Buena Vista has emerged as one of the East Cape’s most exciting new communities. This gated development offers paved roads, underground utilities, and planned infrastructure—providing a rare combination of East Cape tranquility with modern conveniences. Misión Buena Vista is attracting strong interest from buyers who want the East Cape lifestyle without fully off-grid living.

With its untouched coastline, warm swimmable waters, fishing culture, and growing yet thoughtful development, East Cape Los Cabos real estate offers a compelling alternative to more developed areas. Explore the current East Cape listings.
