Costa Azul is the surf capital of Los Cabos, stretching along a mile-plus of golden sand beach on the southwestern edge of San Jose del Cabo. Home to the legendary Zippers break (expert-level point break) and multiple beach breaks for all skill levels, this area hosts the annual World Surf League Los Cabos Open of Surf every June and attracts a year-round community of surfers, ocean athletes, and beachfront lifestyle seekers. The real estate market along Costa Azul ranges from accessible condos with ocean views starting around $300,000 to beachfront homes and villas reaching $2 million. Developments feature open-concept designs, private terraces, and amenities like pools, fitness centers, tennis courts, and 24-hour security. The iconic Zipper's restaurant — a legendary Cabo surf institution — anchors the social scene with beachfront burgers, cold beer, and nightly live music against a backdrop of crashing waves. Located just 10 minutes from Los Cabos International Airport and minutes from downtown San Jose del Cabo's art galleries, restaurants, and Thursday Art Walk, Costa Azul offers the rare combination of active beach lifestyle and cultural convenience.
