About Veleros Beach Club
Veleros Beach Club is a high-end oceanfront restaurant and day-club located on La Playa in San José del Cabo. Opened in early 2023 and nestled within the Puerto Los Cabos resort community, it combines fine Baja-Med dining, a full cocktail bar, and a relaxed beachfront party atmosphere. (puertoloscabos.com ) (www.visitaloscabos.travel ). Positioned “where the desert meets the sea,” it occupies one of the few swimmable beaches in the region (www.visitaloscabos.travel ) (velerosbeachclub.mx ). The club features multiple levels and areas – including an exclusive jetty and several sandside dining zones – designed to capture “the essence of the Sea of Cortez.” (www.elganzoevents.com ). Puerto Los Cabos describes Veleros as “a top-tier oceanfront restaurant, a curated bar, an ambient beach club, and an immersive music and events setting.” (puertoloscabos.com )
Part of the destination known for art and luxury living, Veleros Beach Club quickly earned a reputation as the area’s coolest spot (www.visitaloscabos.travel ). In its first year it hosted celebrity guest chefs and world-class mixologists, and even terms itself “the epitome of exclusive, relaxed luxury.” (www.visitaloscabos.travel ) (www.visitaloscabos.travel ) With a stylish open-air design surrounded by palm trees and ocean views, the venue lives up to that billing. It offers classic Baja dishes (ceviches, whole-grilled fish, fresh shrimp, oysters, etc.) rooted in local ingredients and Baja heritage (www.velerosbeachclub.mx ), alongside signature cocktails and craft beers. In short, Veleros matters as an exceptional beachside escape – combining resort-caliber cuisine and scenery with a party and event program that has reshaped the local scene (puertoloscabos.com ) (www.visitaloscabos.travel ).
Events and Programming
Veleros Beach Club is known for its lively calendar of events, especially on weekends. By day it hosts relaxed brunches and “sun-soaked” lunches, and by evening it transforms into a party venue. Its “fabulous weekend brunch sessions” featuring DJ music and seaside views have become a staple (www.visitaloscabos.travel ). In the evenings and at special times, international DJs and live acts take over. The club’s electronic music parties draw both local and visiting crowds – for example, the celebrated “Anniversary Party” in Feb 2025 featured renowned DJs Rigopolar, UKIYO, and others (www.ticketfairy.com ), and the 2023 Christmas event “Navidance” brought an all-star lineup of house DJs (www.ticketfairy.com ).
Recurring annual events have also become highlights. Veleros launched a Baja Oyster Festival (Festival del Ostión) in April 2024 and extended it in 2025 (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ). This all-ages food festival showcases Mexico’s best oysters prepared by guest chefs, with live music and family activities (www.ticketfairy.com ). The schedule also includes themed beach parties – for example, “Soul of Hex” (Feb 2024) and “Full Moon Gathering” (Aug 2025) drew dance enthusiasts with all-night DJ sets and cosmic themes (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ). More recent offerings have included Zodiac-themed ritual parties and summer-ending blowouts like “Costa Brava Weekend” in Oct 2025 with DJs, spritz cocktails, and clamatos (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ).
In general, expect a mix of lounge afternoons and late-night beach parties. Themed nights and live performances – often with an electronic or acoustic set – are common. Music tends toward house, indie dance, and tropical beats, curated to match the sunset and night sky. Ticketed events are usually advertised months in advance and often sell out, so it’s wise to watch the club’s announcements (via its website or social channels) for upcoming concerts, festivals, and holiday parties. Prices vary by event: for example, the first Oyster Festival had day passes around MXN 700–1000 (www.ticketfairy.com ), while DJs and concerts often go for roughly USD 30–60. (Family-friendly events, like the oyster fest, are all-ages; most dance parties are 18+ or 21+, as noted on tickets (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ).)
Tickets and Booking
Daytime entry to Veleros is covered by purchasing a day pass (for sunbeds, cabanas or other seating) or by booking a table through the restaurant. Sunbed Day Passes cost about MXN 1,400 per person (with MXN 1,200 of that as a food/beverage credit) (www.opentable.com.mx ). Cabana passes run about MXN 1,900 each (with MXN 1,700 credit) and require 3–4 people per cabana (www.opentable.com.mx ). A premium “Super Tent” pass (a private oceanfront tented lounge) is around MXN 3,900 per person (www.opentable.com.mx ). These passes include towels, sunblock and use of showers. All-day visitors are welcome to bring their own swim gear and enjoy the facilities, but should note that high season day passes sell out and may include minimum-spend rules (roughly MXN 500 per person in some beach areas) (wanderlog.com ).
For dinner reservations or lunch tables, it’s best to book ahead on the club’s website or via OpenTable. The restaurant has a casual-elegant dress code and accepts credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Amex) (www.opentable.com.mx ). Walk-ins can often be accommodated, but prime seating on busy days is limited. For special events and concerts, tickets must be bought in advance. The club typically partners with ticket platforms and promoters (e.g. Ticket Fairy) to sell event tickets online. Keep an eye on announcements for date sales – popular shows may sell out, and there usually is no box office on-site for ticketing after hours. If in doubt, inquire by phone or email; the club’s reservations line (+52 624-217-3745) is open 10am–6pm daily (velerosbeachclub.mx ).
Seating and Layout
The layout of Veleros Beach Club spans multiple indoor/outdoor areas to suit different experiences. The main dining area (often called the “Arena”) is a large open-air deck under sailcloth canopies, seating up to about 130 for dinner (and 250 for cocktail events) (www.elganzoevents.com ). Adjacent is the “La Playa” area – more casual tables and loungers right on the sand for up to ~120 diners (www.elganzoevents.com ). Off to one side is the Jetty – a narrow palm-lined pier extending into the water – perfect for intimate sunset dinners (capacity ~80) or cocktail parties (~140) (www.elganzoevents.com ). For private gatherings, the enclosed Super Tent area accommodates about 15 guests dining or 25 standing (www.elganzoevents.com ). In the sand and near the water there are rows of sunbeds, hammocks and swings (often reserved with day passes).
In practical terms, there is no assigned seating – it’s mostly first-come for casual areas. Daytime guests can pick any open sunbed or table; for evening events there may be reserved zones or ticketed sections. The best spot depends on the vibe: beach loungers close to the water offer the full overlook, lounge tables by the bar serve easy food/drink access, and the jetty provides privacy. If you want a lively party experience, the center of the action (the Arena deck) has the DJ and main sound. Note that sound travels easily in the open air, so seats anywhere on the beach can hear music clearly (the club uses professional Void Acoustics sound systems for events (www.ticketfairy.com )). One visitor tip: seating near the waterline can be sandy and slightly uneven, so bring swimsuit or cover-up for comfort, and consider the sun trajectory – the shaded areas under umbrellas fill up fast midday.
Getting There and Parking
Veleros Beach Club is situated at Calle Paseo del Pescador S/N, in La Playa (within Puerto Los Cabos) (www.opentable.com.mx ). It is about 10–15 minutes east of downtown San José del Cabo (off the Transpeninsular Highway Link 1). The easiest way to reach it is by car or taxi: follow signs for Puerto Los Cabos, then turn toward the Sea of Cortez onto Paseo del Pescador. The club provides a spacious parking lot and even allows drive-up drop-off – guests have noted that “you can drive right up and there is very ample parking” (wanderlog.com ). Parking is free for patrons during operating hours (10 am–6 pm daily (velerosbeachclub.mx )). After-hours events typically charge any valet fee or may require a pass – the club’s reservations desk can advise.
Public transit is minimal in this area, so plan on driving or using a rideshare. Taxis are available in Cabo San Lucas and San José; Uber/Didi operate here intermittently (especially in high season). If staying at a nearby hotel or rental, many places will arrange call-and-carry or shuttle service on request. The nearest major airport is Los Cabos International (about 40 min drive toward San Lucas), but San José del Cabo town is much closer if coming from inland. If traveling from Cabo San Lucas or the Tourist Corridor, be aware that the checkpoint at La Ventana may add a 20–30 min wait to your drive.
Inside the Venue
On arrival, guests enter through an open lobby area leading down to the beach decks. A host will greet you and direct you to your table or lounge. There is a full-service bar with seating, as well as a café-style station for coffees and snacks. The décor is upscale-casual with wood and thatch accents, lots of natural light, and sea views from nearly every seat. Expect a laidback seaside vibe – beachwear is acceptable during the day (swimsuits are fine while lounging or dining outdoors), though many diners adopt resort-casual attire for dinner. The restaurant’s policy is roughly “casual elegant,” and flip-flops and cover-ups are common. If you’re attending one of the evening dance events, casual clubwear is typical.
Inside services include attentive waiter service and bartenders who can craft specialty cocktails (the club stocks quality tequila, mezcal, wine and craft beer). The menu focuses on local seafood and Baja flavors (www.velerosbeachclub.mx ) – house favorites cited by visitors include shrimp aguachile, ceviche tostadas, and burgers (the smash burger earned high praise) . Kids’ menus or shared plates are available for families. Bathrooms are clean and well-maintained (guests have noted them specifically as “very clean” (wanderlog.com )). Veleros is wheelchair accessible – ramps and level seating are provided by the pool and beachfront areas (www.opentable.com.mx ). Complimentary beach towels and sunscreen are offered to day-pass guests. Wireless internet is sometimes spotty on the outdoor decks (don’t rely on it for streaming), but cell signal is usually sufficient for calls.
For safety, note that the beach has gentle surf but no lifeguard, so supervise children if they swim. The water is generally calm here (one of the resort’s few swim-friendly shores). Smoking is allowed only in designated outdoor areas (www.opentable.com.mx ), and pets are welcome in the dining beachside area (leashed) (www.opentable.com.mx ). The venue enforces any event age restrictions: most nighttime parties are 18+ or 21+, and IDs will be checked at the door. All purchases at the club are subject to tipping: service staff typically expect 15–20% gratuity on your bill, in line with Mexican custom. The day passes include credits towards food and drink, but any remaining credit is forfeited at end of day, so plan to use it fully. No outside food or beverages can be brought in. The club also offers a coat/gear check for valuables during events, and a small gift kiosk may be open on busy days (with branded hats or tees).
Nearby Amenities
Since Veleros sits within the Puerto Los Cabos development, immediate nearby options are limited to resort guests. For the general visitor, the nearest full-service towns are 10 minutes away. Popular pre-party dining spots include the restaurants of downtown San José del Cabo: try Mexican seafood at Los Tres Gallos or Baja-style dishes at La Lupita, located in the historic district. If coming from the west (Cabo San Lucas or the Tourist Corridor), there are mega-resorts and eateries (e.g. Flora Farms, Edith’s) within a 15–20 minute drive. Some Veleros guests stop by El Ganzo Hotel’s “Del Arbol” or “Rey del Desierto” restaurants on the way, but these require detours back toward Pads.
There are few late-night venues in the immediate area, so plan transportation for after-hours carefully. If a show ends after midnight, book an Uber or taxi beforehand (coverage can be sparse late at night). Nearby hotels include Casa Dorada (about 5 min north), plus Vacation Villas and TimeShare properties in Puerto Los Cabos. Most visitors choosing to stay offsite will overnight in San José del Cabo or Cabo San Lucas, then drive in for day activities. Many find it wise to arrive at least 30 min before a big event for parking. If you want to extend your evening after a party, the town of San José (10 min away) has several late-night bars and casinos, and as a last resort you can return to Cabo San Lucas for nightclub action.
What Makes This Venue Special
Veleros stands out for its unique combination of fine dining, beach club amenities, and concert-level production. Few places in Los Cabos offer a full restaurant experience right on the ocean with professional DJs and light shows on the same deck (puertoloscabos.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ). Architecturally, its multi-tiered layout takes full advantage of the shoreline: branches of the palmed jetty, boardwalk decks, and shaded lounges create an immersive seaside environment. The “Super Tent” is a one-of-a-kind feature – a private oceanfront lounge built for only a handful of guests, complete with its own bar (www.elganzoevents.com ). Culturally, Veleros has become a hub for the local music and gastronomic scene. It frequently collaborates with community arts (building off the creative energy of nearby Ganzo Hotel) and has introduced high-profile events like international DJ parties and the new Oyster Festival to San José del Cabo. In effect, it serves as both a showcase of Baja cuisine (fresh ceviches, local seafood, curated cocktails) and a gathering place where “each event is a celebration” (www.visitaloscabos.travel ). Guests and performers alike love Veleros for its unbeatable sunset views, friendly service, and the way it allows beach-going and nightlife to seamlessly coexist. In essence, Veleros Beach Club captures the “baja getaway” ethos – casual luxury on the sand – better than almost anywhere else in the area (puertoloscabos.com ) (www.elganzoevents.com ).
Visitor Tips and Information
Accessibility: The complex is wheelchair-friendly with ramp access to dining areas (www.opentable.com.mx ). Restrooms are accessible, and staff are happy to move tables or provide accommodations for guests with mobility needs. The venue has shaded areas and indoor floors, making it doable in wheelchairs or with strollers. Pets on short leashes are allowed in the outdoor areas (though probably not during crowded events) (www.opentable.com.mx ). For hearing-impaired guests, note that music events can be loud; average dining is normal volume. The club does not have special accommodations like braille menus or sign-language services, so it’s a regular resort setting in most other respects.
Age restrictions: Daytime beach and dining are family-friendly. Children are welcome, and special events like the Oyster Festival allow all ages (kids under 12 get in free) (www.ticketfairy.com ). However, most dance parties and evening concerts are restricted (usually 18+ or 21+, check event listings) (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ). By law, ID will be required for any guest appearing 18 or over at age-restricted events. Note that there is no official babysitting or childcare service on site.
What to bring/not bring: Essential items include your swimsuit and beach towel (sunbed day passes do provide towels and sunscreen (www.opentable.com.mx ), but bringing your own is wise), sunscreen, hat, and sunglasses. If you plan to swim, bring water shoes or sandals to navigate rocky spots. A small camera or GoPro is great for sunset photos. Daypack: avoid large backpacks or coolers, as they may be prohibited. Outside food and drinks are not allowed, as day passes include food/drink credit. Cover-ups or a light wrap are handy when the ocean breeze picks up in the evening. During events, some people like to bring earplugs for prolonged loud music.
Common mistakes to avoid: Arriving too late, especially on busy weekends. The beach beds and prime tables fill up early. Reservations (or arriving before 11 am) ensure better spots. Not using your food credit fully on a day pass: plan to spend the full MXN 1200–1700 credit on drinks and food, as unused credit is forfeited (www.opentable.com.mx ). Forgetting sunscreen – the Baja sun is strong. Misjudging footwear – the decks have sand and can be uneven, and flip-flops or water sandals are recommended over hard heels. Tipping: unlike some all-inclusive resorts, diners should tip waitstaff normally (15–20%).
Weather and attire: Veleros is fully open-air. Rain is rare in summer, but if it does rain or is very windy the staff may close parts of the deck or cancel events (check local reports if bad weather is forecast). Daytime attire is casual beachwear; swimsuit, shorts, and sandals are fine. Evening attire can still be relaxed: think resort-smart – a nice summer shirt and shorts or a sundress is typical. Even so, most events don’t enforce a strict dress code, as long as outfits are clean and beach-appropriate. During winter months (Dec–Feb), it can cool off at night – bringing a light wrap or jacket is recommended for sunset events.
Venue policies: In addition to age rules noted above, Veleros has a minimum consumption for certain seating areas (often roughly MXN 500 per person for reserved loungers or cabanas) as reported by visitors (wanderlog.com ). This is separate from day-pass credit. No outside beverages or glassware is allowed on the sand. The club provides lounge music most afternoons; no cover charge is typically required during daylight beach hours (payment comes via passes or restaurant bills). For special concerts, keep your ticket handy, and note that photography (non-flash) is usually allowed but professional equipment may be restricted – always follow the instructions of event staff. If attending a formal private event (wedding, corporate party), the organizers will give any specific guidelines ahead of time (the club is often booked as an event venue). Finally, the security feel is friendly but vigilant: you may see plainclothes staff, especially at large gatherings. All rules are enforced courteously to ensure safety and enjoyment for everyone.
What are the prices for day passes and what do they include?
Day passes at Veleros Beach Club come in tiers. A Sunbed Day Pass is about MXN 1,400 per person and includes MXN 1,200 credit towards food and drinks (www.opentable.com.mx ). A Cabana Day Pass costs around MXN 1,900 per person with MXN 1,700 credit (www.opentable.com.mx ) (note it requires 3–4 people per cabana). These passes also include beach towels, sunblock and shower access. A more exclusive option is the Super Tent pass (~MXN 3,900 each), which gives you a private shaded lounge with its own bar (www.opentable.com.mx ). All passes are typically booked in advance online or by phone, as they often sell out on busy days.
How do I get to Veleros Beach Club and is there parking?
Veleros Beach Club is located at Calle Paseo del Pescador S/N, in the La Playa area of San José del Cabo (www.opentable.com.mx ). It’s easiest to drive or take a taxi/ride-share via the Transpeninsular Highway (Highway 1). Once you enter Puerto Los Cabos, follow signs to the beach; the club is clearly marked. There is ample free parking on-site. In fact, guests have noted you can “drive right up” and find very spacious parking available (wanderlog.com ). The club itself operates 10 am–6 pm daily (velerosbeachclub.mx ), though parking is usually open slightly earlier for events. Public buses do not run directly here, so if you don’t have a car, arrange a taxi or an organized transfer from your hotel.
Is Veleros Beach Club family-friendly and are children allowed?
Yes – during daytime hours and family-oriented events, Veleros is friendly to all ages. Families with children are welcome to use the beach and restaurant. Notably, the annual Oyster Festival (Festival del Ostión) is marketed as “an event for the whole family,” and kids under 12 get in free (www.ticketfairy.com ). Water here is calm and swimmable, and the staff are used to serving families. However, most evening parties and DJ events have adult age limits (often 18+ or 21+) with ID checks. For any event, check the specific age rules on the ticket before planning your visit.
What is the dress code at Veleros Beach Club?
Veleros Beach Club has a resort-casual vibe. During the day, swimwear and cover-ups are perfectly fine, since guests often come straight from the beach or pool. In the evening, attire tends to be “casual elegant” – for men, a nice shirt and shorts or slacks; for women, a sundress or smart sandals is common. Flip-flops and bare feet are generally acceptable outdoors, but collared shirts or dresses may be expected for certain dinner-table areas. No formal tuxedos or gowns are required, but avoid very sloppy beachwear (e.g. no swim briefs). Always check if you have a special event or dinner reservation in case that organizer requests something different.
Are pets or dogs allowed at Veleros Beach Club?
Yes, the venue is pet-friendly in its outdoor areas. On the open-air decks and beachside patios, well-behaved dogs on a leash are permitted (www.opentable.com.mx ). (Service animals of course are also welcome anywhere.) Most pet-owning guests bring dogs during quiet daytime hours; during large events the policy may be more restrictive, so it’s best to call ahead if you plan to bring a pet to a party or festival. Water bowls and cleanup bags are typically provided by staff upon request.
Is Veleros Beach Club wheelchair accessible?
Yes, Veleros is designed to be accessible. The restaurant and main deck have ramps and level pathways suitable for wheelchairs and strollers (www.opentable.com.mx ). The open-air layout means you can navigate most areas without steps. Accessible restrooms are available on-site and shade structures provide relief from the sun. Of course, the beach itself is on sand, so rolling onto the beach is easier with help or a special wheelchair mat. Staff are usually happy to assist anyone who needs a hand getting to their table or finding a secure spot.
What kind of food and drinks are served?
Veleros offers high-quality Baja-Californian cuisine with a focus on fresh seafood and local ingredients (www.velerosbeachclub.mx ). Menu highlights often include ceviche tostadas, ahi tuna dishes, grilled whole fish, shrimp plates, as well as beef or vegan options. Guests rave about dishes like marinated shrimp, fish burgers, and Baja tacos. There’s also a full suite of appetizers (ceviches, aguachiles, nachos, etc.) and salads inspired by Mexican coastal cooking. The bar serves craft cocktails, mezcal and tequila specialties, beers and wines. One signature tippler is the Tropical Spritz, and they have an extensive selection of artisanal mezcals and local brews. Gluten-free and vegetarian dishes are available too. Overall, expect attentive service and top-notch coastal flavors at resort-style prices.
Is there a cover charge or minimum spend?
There is no entry fee for daytime lounge or dining beyond the cost of food and drinks (or a day pass). However, some seating areas carry a minimum consumption requirement. For example, guests have noted that reserved cabanas or beachfront loungers often have a combined minimum spend of roughly MXN 500 per person (wanderlog.com ). This ensures tables are used on busy days. For ticketed events (evenings, concerts), your ticket price serves as your cover. Always double-check at the entrance or on your booking – the host will clarify if any minimum applies to your table.
Can I make reservations for the restaurant?
Yes. It’s recommended to reserve a table, especially on weekends or holidays. The restaurant takes bookings online (through its website or OpenTable) or by phone. According to OpenTable, you can generally make a reservation by simply choosing a date, time and party size (www.opentable.com.mx ). Calling +52 624-217-3745 during business hours (10 am–6 pm) is also an option. Reservations lock in a table for dining; they do not include any beach day pass (those are purchased separately). If you just want to grab a quick drink or casual bite, walk-ins are often accepted in the bar/lounge area whenever space is available.
Do they have live music or DJs regularly?
Yes, music is a big part of the atmosphere. Veleros often features live DJs and sometimes local bands, especially on weekends and during special events. Brunch hours frequently have live acoustic or soft DJ sets (think tropical rock or lounge house). Nighttime is typically DJ-driven or festival-like – past events have included house DJs, techno sets and world music. There isn’t a fixed schedule publicized far in advance; instead, music line-ups are announced event by event. The venue is set up to support high-quality sound as well: many parties are “powered by Void Acoustics,” a professional audio system (www.ticketfairy.com ). Check the club’s current event calendar to see if a DJ night or live music session aligns with your visit.
Are lifeguards on duty at the beach?
No professional lifeguards patrol the beach at Veleros Beach Club. The water off La Playa is generally calm and shallow (one of the reasons the club touts it as swimmable), but swimming is at your own risk. If you plan to enter the water, children should be supervised by an adult at all times. Float devices or life vests are a good idea for kids. The club staff keep an eye on safety during events, but there is no dedicated beach safety team on duty. If you’re concerned about currents or waves, it’s best to simply stay in the shallow areas close to shore.
What payment methods are accepted?
Veleros accepts major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) at both the restaurant and bar (www.opentable.com.mx ). Cash (Mexican pesos) is also accepted and often preferred for day pass purchases. Keep in mind that even though food credit is offered with day passes, any remaining credit does not carry over or get refunded if you don’t use it all. When settling bills, you can split payment among cards if needed and 15–20% tip is customary for service staff. If booking through a ticket agent for events, tickets are usually prepaid online.
What is the best time to arrive for popular events?
For sold-out concerts or beach parties, arriving at least 30–60 minutes early is wise. Popular events (like the Fiesta or full-moon dances) often have lines at the entrance. Doors typically open an hour before the advertised start time. If you have general admission, arriving before 7 pm for an 8 pm show will help you get good space on the sand. With reserved seating (like a table or VIP area), confirm your check-in time when you buy your ticket. In general: early is better. For brunch or lunch, arriving by 11 am often guarantees seating before the afternoon crowd rolls in.
Is there a coat check or place to store belongings?
There is no formal coat check at the beach club, but staff can often hold small personal items or electronics behind the bar if you ask. Most visitors simply leave beach bags and beach gear at their cabana or table. Since it’s an open-air beach venue, valuables should not be left unattended; use caution with phones and wallets in the sand. Some events do provide a secure check-in area for radios/frontstage passes. If you need to store larger items unexpectedly, ask a manager on duty – they may direct you to a locked office or storage space available to staff. However, the norm is to travel light and keep your items with you at the table or lounge.
Are there lockers or bag storage?
The club does not offer public lockers for guests. If you have a day pass, you will carry your personal items (wallet, sunscreen, etc.) to your sunbed or cabana. For large events, some VIP or Super Tent packages may include a secure area for personal belongings. Otherwise, staff will usually keep small valuable items behind the bar or at the entrance desk by request. As with any beach setting, keeping belongings out of sight – preferably in a zipped bag – is the safest approach. If you’re attending during an off-peak day, you can often leave small bags at your table with confidence, but always ask staff if you have any concerns.
