Discover The Top 5 Swimmable Cabo Beaches With Unlimited Vacation Club!

The most swimmable Cabo beaches

Los Cabos has beautiful beaches… few of which you can actually swim in. But the water activities and beaches where you can swim are gorgeous! Even more, the top Cabo beaches can be national parks and several are world-famous for their natural beauty and marine biodiversity. Come find out more info about these amazing places where you’ll have an unforgettable dip!

WHAT ARE THE TOP CABO BEACHES TO SWIM IN?

There are many incredible beaches in Los Cabos, but you can’t swim in all of them. But the top Cabo beaches that are swimmable are Lover’s Beach, Chileno Beach, Santa Maria Beach, Medano Beach, and Palmilla Beach. Come learn more about each of these breathtaking places.

1. LOVERS’ BEACH – LA PLAYA DEL AMOR

This is without a doubt the most famous beach in Los Cabos. It is a beautiful beach in the area of Finisterra, the last part of the peninsula, right where you can find the famous Arch.

Lovers’ Beach is set where the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean meet. That’s why even though it is right next to Lovers’ Beach, on the Pacific Ocean side the beach is named Divorce Beach. Be careful because, on that side, the waves and the treacherous ocean are as pretty as the beach’s name!

You can reach Lovers’ Beach only by one of the famous Cabo glass-bottom boat tours and it is one of the most popular stops of the Los Cabos City Tour. However, if you wish to spend as much time as possible on the beach, you should take the Snorkel Lovers’ Beach Plus tour. It includes a box lunch, snorkeling equipment, and a guide that will be with you in the water the entire time.

The best part is that you can interact with the local sea life, like starfish, puffer fish, octopuses, and thousands of colorful fish you’ll see right then and there. You can even get a link with your amazing underwater photos taken by the tour guide at the end of your tour!

Lovers’ Beach is a National Marine Park so you won’t find any sort of facilities there (like restrooms!). However, if you’re staying at Breathless Cabo San Lucas Resort & Spa, ask if there is a tour available so you can enjoy it with your friends and other guests. Remember to bring your towel!

2. CHILENO BEACH – PLAYA DEL CHILENO

Many consider this one of the most beautiful and clean Cabo beaches in the world! This beach got the Blue Flag distinction last year, a certification granted by the Foundation for Environmental Education. It is only given to beaches that comply with a defined set of environmental and quality standards.

Some of Chileno Beach’s highlights are its crystal-clear waters, an amazing reef in the middle of the bay, palm-tree palapas, bathrooms, and showers. It is even accessible for people with disabilities and has an underwater wheelchair!

Chileno Beach is one of my favorite beaches, and most locals too usually come to visit it during the weekends. The rest of the week, Chileno Bay is normally calm and somewhat empty.

You can reach this beach by sea and by land. By sea, you’ll find many snorkeling tours and catamaran tours that will take you snorkeling to the bay’s reef. By land, you can contact Amstar about taking the Chileno Beach Snorkeling Tour, which includes umbrellas, a box lunch, snorkeling gear, and a guide. Plus, the Los Cabos City Tour includes an optional stop here.

3. SANTA MARIA BEACH

This is a somewhat hidden beach even few locals know about it!-, but it is very easy to get there. It’s located only 15 minutes from San Jose del Cabo or the beaches in Cabo San Lucas.

Santa Maria Bay has a very calm beach. There are no facilities (restrooms) available since it is a protected Natural Park. The bay is surrounded by small cliffs and there are colorful reefs in the sea with tons of sea life, ideal for snorkeling.

This beach is also one of the favorite stops for catamaran and sailing tours, because of the great snorkeling you can do there. And hanging out in the bay is not bad either!

If you want to go to this beach on an amazing tour get the Santa Maria Snorkeling Tour. It includes transportation, a box lunch, snorkeling gear, umbrellas, beverages, and a great snorkeling guide.

4. MEDANO BEACH

Medano Beach is one of the most popular swimmable beaches in Cabo San Lucas. There are restaurants, bars, beach clubs, and water activities you can enjoy right there!

It is one of the most famous beaches in Cabo San Lucas Bay, located to the left of the marina. If you’re staying in Breathless Cabo San Lucas Resort & Spa, Medano Beach is perfect for you since it’s right next to the hotel.

You can get there easily by walking or by taxi. The beach is always full of music, drinking contests, and fun. Plus, you can try some traditional food from Los Cabos at the local restaurants, such as The Office on the Beach.

5. PALMILLA BEACH

This beautiful swimmable beach is located in the San Jose del Cabo Bay, only 9 minutes away from Dreams Los Cabos Suites Golf Resort & Spa and 20 minutes away from Secrets Puerto Los Cabos Golf & Spa Resort. So, this beach is the perfect choice whether you’re traveling with your partner, friends, or family! It’s also one of the most popular Cabo beaches among the locals. You can swim easily in its calm waters, kids can play in them happily and parents can rest peacefully!
