Shared prosperity and impact that endures

Black downward-pointing arrow

OUR INTENTION

In Puerto Los Cabos, we work to be a positive force within a broader ecosystem: we design, develop, and act with the purpose of creating an environmental, social, and cultural impact that endures.

We seek to cultivate genuinely positive relationships with our surroundings—the local communities, nature, government, and our partners—adding value where opportunities exist and regenerating the systems around us where they have lost balance or vitality.

We envision a cultural epicenter that showcases what is possible when deep intention and consistent work are put in service of joy, creativity, inspiration, and life itself.

We aspire to build a community and a gathering place that inspires great ideas and meaningful connections, generation after generation—a place whose relevance and value grow over time, radiating benefits to the region, the country, and the world.

We come with the purpose of nurturing a culture of peace, recognizing our responsibility as stewards of a land of immense natural and cultural wealth.

We also honor our commitment to those who trust us—the families who have called this place home for generations, the ecosystems that surround us, our governmental allies, collaborators, and investors—working to create shared prosperity and foster social mobility through dignified opportunities, education, culture, and meaningful employment.

Our intention is to enrich this land and its community, not to overshadow its natural beauty or cultural depth, but to complement them with sincere creativity, culture, community, and hard work—so that Puerto Los Cabos can establish itself as a lasting platform for sustainable development and shared prosperity.

Sustainability framework

Our sustainability framework is a dynamic guide that integrates economic, social, and environmental priorities into a unified vision.

Each petal represents a key focus area, and their intersections reflect the balance we seek to achieve: enhancing livelihoods and well-being, fostering cultural vitality, promoting efficient resource use, ensuring environmental sustainability, and cultivating safe, thriving communities.

This comprehensive approach anchors our impact projects, ensuring that every initiative strengthens our commitment to resilience, regeneration, and shared prosperity.

At Puerto Los Cabos, we wholeheartedly accompany and support La Playa Community Center, a space that since 2015 has opened its doors to more than 400 families from La Playa, Rincón de la Playa, La Choya, Las Ánimas, and San Vicente. 

Originally created as a space for children artistic exploration, it quickly expanded to offer diverse programs addressing community needs and promoting environmental stewardship.

Since then, the center has served over 1,500 individuals through 12 programs, with more than 15,000 participations.

The Community Center operates under three pillars, each hosting various programs.

community center LEARNING GARDENS Program

A key initiative of the Community Center’s Well-being pillar, the Learning Gardens Program connects children, youth, and adults with nature, healthy food, and sustainability through hands-on garden experiences. More than growing food, these gardens serve as living classrooms where participants learn cooperation, responsibility, and care for the environment.


What We Do

  • School Gardens: Partnering with local schools, we install gardens and guide students and teachers in growing crops while learning nutrition and sustainability.

  • Community Gardens: Our center garden brings families together to grow fresh food, build connections, and practice sustainable agriculture.

  • Environmental Education: Workshops foster ecological awareness, sustainable practices, and urban food security.

  • Healthy Eating: We promote fresh, local produce to support nutrition and community well-being.

social infrastructure

The construction of social infrastructure is a priority effort for Puerto Los Cabos. This has allowed us to donate, develop, and maintain different public-use projects, such as parks, trails, and sports fields.

The donation of roadway infrastructure has also been part of these efforts, including the bridge that connects the region to the center of San José del Cabo, as well as safe streets, pedestrian crossings, street signage, among others.

We have also collaborated to achieve Blue Flag certification through various interventions and the installation of equipment, meeting the international standards required for this distinction.

Recently, Puerto Los Cabos donated an important public sports park, which is equipped for recreational as well as sports activities and is actively used by various community members.

These projects contribute daily to the improvement of the quality of life for the residents of the region.

The Parque Deportivo La Playa was donated by Puerto Los Cabos and Fundación de Pablo as a public park providing a community space for La Playa, Rincón de La Playa, and surrounding neighborhoods.

Open to the public in 2025, it features a baseball field, a large soccer field convertible into two smaller fields, a central plaza, restrooms, parking, and walking trails.

la playa COASTAL Community

La Playa and its surrounding neighborhoods have a long-standing history as a fishing community. We have strived to build strong ties with local fishing groups, recognizing the vital role they play in the region’s economy and culture.

In 2012, the Marina of Puerto Los Cabos built essential fishing infrastructure to support the local community, creating improved facilities and services for their use.

In August 2022, we began a collaborative effort with NOS Noroeste Sustentable. Together with fishing cooperatives and permit holders, we participated in workshops and working sessions facilitated by NOS. These activities allowed us to define a shared vision for the short and medium term, one that reflects the perspectives of all participants, in order to improve the management of the section of the marina assigned to community members.

Through this initiative, we identified needs and opportunities that promote harmonious coexistence. By sharing spaces and working hand in hand with the fishing community, we learned that a shared vision not only creates value for everyone and strengthens our relationships, but also contributes to healthier marine environments. These collective efforts reflect the spirit of Marine Prosperity Areas: bringing people together to balance ecological restoration and human well-being.

Logo with stylized text that reads "AZUL PACIFICO" and smaller text below saying "OCEAN CONSERVATION".

Often referred to as the “aquarium of the world,” it is home to extraordinary marine life and a source of regional identity; A menudo llamado el “acuario del mundo”, es hogar de una vida marina extraordinaria y una fuente de identidad regional. We embrace the responsibility of stewardship, committing to a vision of shared prosperity where healthy oceans and resilient communities thrive together.

Through our Azul Pacífico program, we promote marine restoration, sustainable fisheries, and community-led initiatives that connect ecological health with human well-being. By collaborating with fishermen, schools, and local organizations, we inspire younger generations to view the Gulf as integral to their heritage and future. For us, caring for the ocean means fostering identity, security, and shared prosperity for Los Cabos and the broader Gulf of California.

Cultura Oceánica encompasses initiatives such as Foro Azul Pacífico, an annual forum on ocean conservation and education that welcomed over 200 participants in 2025, and Escuela de Aletas, which engaged 134 children from the local community, fostering early awareness and connection to marine life.

The Océanos Vivos program, in collaboration with the Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Sur (Reef Fauna Program), CICIMAR, and CIBNOR, conducts scientific research to regenerate marine ecosystems. Its activities include monitoring the health of the La Bufadora-Chileno reef ecosystem for restoration and evaluating the health of the Puerto Los Cabos marina.

As part of the Cultura Océanica pillar, we have Azul Pacífico, a forum that brings together diverse voices and sectors to co-create systemic solutions for ocean conservation. Through dialogue, scientific outreach, and the celebration of ocean culture, the forum connects people with the sea, raises awareness of pressing issues, and inspires a cultural shift toward greater care and stewardship of marine ecosystems.

estero

Puerto Los Cabos lies alongside one of Mexico’s most valuable wetlands: the San José Estuary—an oasis of international importance recognized for its cultural heritage, water security, biodiversity, and role as a refuge for migratory birds. By sharing its borders, we embrace the responsibility of being stewards of this ecosystem and are fully committed to its long-term conservation. As part of this community, we have supported local government initiatives, NGOs, and social organizations through clean-up campaigns, habitat maintenance, equipment and resource donations, and collaborative projects that strengthen the protection and resilience of this natural legacy.

Through La Playa Community Center, we promote environmental education and birdwatching programs that connect children and youth with the Estuary’s biodiversity. By inspiring new generations to appreciate and care for this Ramsar (Convention on Wetlands of International Importance) especially as Waterfowl Habitat, and IBA (Important Bird Area) recognized sanctuary, we help ensure that the identity and future of San José del Cabo remain rooted in the life of the Estuary.
