Cabo Beaches

The many white sand beaches of Los Cabos area offer beauty, and options galore. Cabo is the perfect place to escape and forget the real world. From peace and quiet to boisterous bars, there is something to do for everyone.

All beaches in Mexico are public, but access may sometimes only be available through private property.

Not all beaches in the Los Cabos area are swimable, even if they look inviting. Swimming off of the beaches on the Pacific side in the lower parts of Baja California, in particular, is not recommenced due to strong sea currents.

Medano Beach – Playa El Médano

Medano Beach is the closest beach to downtown Cabo San Lucas and the Marina, reachable by a short walk. Medano Beach is several miles long, with a view of Land’s end from every location on the beach. Near town, this swimable beach is peppered with restaurants, bars, beach activity and rentals, as well as vendors. Here, you can eat, drink, jet ski, banana boat, and choose among many other water sports or rentals. Most of the outdoor restaurants have beach lounge chairs for your use with beach side food and beverage service (you will need to buy from them). There are also lots of walking vendors selling their wares on this beach, everything from jewelry, T-shirts, blankets, temporary tattoos, and hair braiding. You can pick up lots of souvenirs to take home. However, these vendors can be pesky at times.
