Balandra Beach Swimming
After doing Balandra Beach Swimming countless times, here is my honest take.
Balandra Beach Swimming: Near La Paz, about 2. Swimming: True.
Balandra Beach Swimming is a Cabo staple at Free access, parking varies, rentals available at some beaches. Most visitors enjoy it, but the operator you pick makes all the difference.
Lover's Beach is only accessible by water taxi from Medano ($15-20 round trip). It's beautiful and iconic but bring everything you need — no vendors or facilities.
Cabo's beaches range from the party scene at Medano to completely empty stretches along the East Cape. The Pacific side generally has stronger currents and is not swimmable.
Pro tip from locals: mid-range options are the sweet spot for quality.
