The 10 Best Beaches in Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur
As a well-known destination for both spring breakers and A-list travelers in need of a getaway, Cabo San Lucas has definite vacation cred. The beaches here range in temperament, from the serene waters of the Sea of Cortez and Playa del Amor to the kickin’ waves of Zippers, a surfing paradise. If you care to romp with locals, head to the coves and rock formations of the Cannery beaches. Kids will have a blast communing with the local animals by swimming with dolphins or taking a camel ride through the Desert Park Natural Reserve.

Sheltered harbor great for fishing.
Reviewed By RichardS778 - Scottsdale, United States
My wife and I have been to Los Cabos and the bay area many times on land and on cruise trips. On our last cruise on Princess the ship will shuttle you into the very pretty small harbor and from there you can strike out to so many points of interest like beaches, just a short water taxi ride or cab ride away, there is good fishing depending on the season, whale watching, snorkling, hotels, all inclusive resorts and this is a destination wedding location for many. With rere exception it is safe but always remember you are in Mexico and be smart. During the day it is 100% safe in my opinion. There is the usual tourist shopping...many places to eat and have drinks and so on. Hills surround the bay and it is just beautiful. Safe swimming in the bay but not on the Pacific side. Many tours are available. Folks there are friendly.

Pretty beach ideal for swimming, sunning and snorkeling.

Took a nice hike over from Lands End on a recent Saturday morning. It was a busy place with a few vendors and lots of water taxis coming and going. Beautiful place if you want to spend some time in the water!!! Nice to actually be on Lovers Beach rather than just looking at it from one of the boat rides!

A pristine white sand beach offering spectacular snorkeling.
Reviewed By LoveToGoHateToFly
The surf can be a little rough here, but there are lifeguards who will advise where it is the safest to swim and play. There was great snorkeling at the Southwest edge with schools of large fish swimming near the shore. The water and sand in Cabo are not as pleasant as Cancun (coarse sand and cool temps) but this water was clear and the beach view was beautiful. We rented an umbrella from a beach vendor. He charged 200 pesos for a whole day, but was willing to split his price for an hour of use. We were happy to spend the money because the sun was pretty brutal.

I must admit I may be somewhat biased but after 14 years in Cabo this is one of my favorite developments. I am also a part time resident of Pedregal. The development runs from just outside the Cabo Marina over the mountain to the pacific ocean. This is a one of a kind development with many different style houses built right into the side of the mountain. Many homes are occupied full time and many are for rent. Rentals can start at about $200 a night and go to $4,000+ a night. Spectacular views are the order of the day. The are old fashioned rock and cement. The Pedregal beach is very nice but is not a swimmable beach due to the rip currents and high tides. It is nevertheless one of the nicest beaches in Los Cabos for relaxing and enjoying the gorgeous sunsets.
