EL MEDANO BEACH
Located in the heart of Cabo San Lucas town, you’ll find El Medano Beach- a family friendly environment with swimmable waters! El Medano Beach has many restaurants, beach clubs, and beautiful hotels that sit along the 2 miles of beach.
The bay of El Medano has the safest conditions for all the water sports offered at this spot like wave runners, flyboarding, paddle boarding, kayaking, parasailing, and more!
Here at El Medano Beach is is where you catch the well-known watertaxis to the famous rock formation landmark, The Arch. If you decide to go, do not forget to visit The Lovers Beach where you can be dropped off and picked up at a later hour. Here, snorkeling gear and bottled water are a must.
An important mark to know about Lovers Beach, is that it is connected to the Pacific Ocean, please do not swim the Pacific side of it...it tends to be rough. Instead enjoy a safe swim on the bayside where you will find the colorful marine life along the rocks for a great snorkeling experience!
SANTA MARIA BEACH
On Hwy 1 at km 13, you’ll find an exit towards Santa Maria Beach which leads to a pristine beach! It is a large attraction for sunbathers to enjoy the beautiful day. With colorful waters flanked by cliffs and golden sands, it is an irresistible hideaway spot.
Snorkeling is a fun activity available, especially for those who love the colorful marine life. Make sure to bring snorkeling gear, water, snacks, and sunblock! Prior taking a dive, we recommend to first check the sea conditions to ensure a safe snorkeling experience.
