About the race
Nadando Los Cabos is the first stage of the Baja Swim Series, held at the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula. This event offers swimmers the opportunity to challenge themselves in crystal-clear waters and iconic beaches, within a vibrant marine environment teeming with life.
The location is special for its connection to nature; during the winter, the waters of the Pacific and the Sea of Cortez become home to humpback whales, which arrive in the area to give birth and raise their calves. Swimming here is a constant reminder of the importance of protecting the marine ecosystem while enjoying a unique sporting experience.

Where to stay
Accommodations in San José del Cabo cater to a range of styles, from boutique hotels housed in restored colonial buildings near the historic district to high-end resorts lining the coast. You can also find independent guesthouses and smaller, family-run inns that offer a quieter alternative to the larger tourist hubs. Prices typically range from $120 to $450 per night, depending on proximity to the water and the level of service. For those seeking a simpler stay, there are well-equipped camping options accessible by vehicle along the coastal zones near the estuary.
Things to do nearby
The region is defined by its dramatic transition from desert to ocean. You can spend the weekend exploring the estuary’s biodiversity through guided birdwatching or kayak tours, which provide a closer look at the local wetlands. For those interested in history, the mission district offers walking tours that explain the 18th-century settlement patterns. Beyond the water, the Sierra de la Laguna provides rugged trekking trails for a full view of the peninsula, while local culinary experiences often focus on traditional Baja-style seafood caught by the local fishing cooperatives.
