Cabo Beaches - Page 2 (Tourist Corridor - continued)
BARCO VARADO BEACH
Accessible next to the Sheraton Hotel off Km.11 in Cabo del Sol, this beach once was home to a shipwrecked Japanese freighter, so named Barco Varado (meaning “shipwrecked”), but all traces have rusted away. It’s great for fishing, diving, snorkeling, and swimming (when the water is calm), and the scenic backdrop is a perfect photo opportunity. Traveler magazine, Lover’s Beach is a must-see, must-experience destination.
WIDOW'S BEACH
Less popular, but ideal for a picnic, is Las Viudas or Widow’s Beach on the west side of the now-closed Twin Dolphin Hotel. Tide pools with interesting marine life are fun for the exploring adult or child.
SANTA MARIA BAY
For colorful fish and living coral, pack a lunch, your snorkeling gear, and head to Santa Maria Bay. This protected moon-shaped bay, surrounded by rugged cliffs, is ideal for families. Snorkeling and diving are best in the morning, and the best visibility is in summer months. Santa Maria is one of the best swimming beaches in Los Cabos.
CHILENO BAY
Chileno Bay is near the highway at Km14. Smooth water and a long swath of sandy beach make this an ideal family spot for swimming, snorkeling, and diving along the reef where marine life abounds. Bring your beach umbrella, a good book, and fall asleep to the sound of the gentle surf. Or, for the more ambitious, bring your kayak or canoe. A little more remote are the beaches hidden at the southwest end.
TEQUILA COVE
A man-made stone jetty fronting the Melia Cabo Real and Hilton Hotels creates a safe haven for swimming and water sports. Rent water toys, or explore expansive and almost deserted beaches around the hotel. It’s a great beach for walking, jogging, and horseback riding.
PALMILLA BAY
The long, wide bay makes this an ideal destination for families. Located at Km. 27, and 18 miles north of Cabo San Lucas, this tranquil beach winds around the bay with the One and Only Palmilla Resort on the Palmilla point. If fishing is your thing, pangas (small boats) and cruisers are available for charter, and are fun to watch as they return with their catch (they don‘t call it “Marlin Alley” for nothing!).
