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.
