0

Chileno Beach 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.

Divorce Beach (Pacific side of the Arch) is stunning for photos but dangerous for swimming. Strong currents claim lives every year. Respect the signs.

Medano Beach is Cabo's only major swimmable beach in town — it's also the busiest. Beach clubs like Mango Deck and The Office line the sand with food, drinks, and music.

Pro tip from locals: bring your own umbrella. Rentals are $20-30/day.
