Costa Azul
After doing Costa Azul countless times, here is my honest take.
A Azul: Surf beach. Swimming: Careful, waves.
Budget for a azul at Free access, parking varies, rentals available at some beaches in Cabo. That range exists for a reason — here's where your money goes.
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.
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.
Pro tip from locals: mid-range options are the sweet spot for quality.
