The East Cape has evolved during the last five years
Having lived in the East Cape for many years, Nick asks Dede and Emma how the area has changed recently. As you’ll hear in the video, the first word they use is **“unrecognizable.”** Over the last five years, the East Cape has grown significantly — but in a thoughtful and elevated way.
New residents are arriving from Canada, the United States, and even from nearby areas like San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas. With its small communities, pristine beaches, and natural beauty, the East Cape now offers the perfect blend of peace, scenery, and authentic Baja living.

Uncover the amazing East Cape
Long known as one of Cabo’s premier fishing destinations, the East Cape boasts the **highest concentration of fish in the Sea of Cortez** — and one of the **oldest living coral reefs** in the Americas. Water activities continue to grow, with world-class kiteboarding drawing visitors during the winter months.
Spanning from **San José del Cabo to Los Barriles**, the East Cape is ideal for those looking for a rustic, beachfront lifestyle. The drive itself is one of the most beautiful in all of Baja — an unpaved coastal route passing dozens of secluded beaches that feel untouched and private.
Los Barriles: East Cape’s northern coastal hub
Los Barriles is one of the East Cape’s fastest-growing coastal towns, and for good reason — the area is rich in marine life, natural beauty, and outdoor adventure. Known as a historic fishing community, it now hosts major big-game tournaments that attract anglers from across the world.
Nearby is the famous **Cabo Pulmo National Marine Park**, home to a thriving coral reef and some of the best snorkeling and diving in the region. From whale sharks to rays, reef fish, and more, the Sea of Cortez here is known for exceptional biodiversity.
The marina and boat fleet in Los Barriles include well-equipped yachts with experienced captains who guide visitors to prime fishing locations. The area is also home to abundant wildlife, from the graceful whale shark to the iconic brown pelican.
