Cabo beaches are known for swift undertows and rocky shorelines, but some swimmer-friendly spots do exist. Playa Medano is a swimmable beach, but is often quite crowded. If you’re looking for a romantic lookout point, El Arco is frequented by sea lions, while Playa del Amor has great vistas.
Activities & Attractions
Activities
Cabo San Lucas weddings provide no end to the varieties of activities you can experience before or after your ceremony. Cabo is home to some of Mexico’s best golf courses, including the famed (and expensive) Cabo Del Sol Golf Club. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway, try a spa treatment. Since many celebrities jet down from LA for a weekend retreat, the area is well-known for them. Or, simply hang at the beach. They range from quiet and removed to touristy and crowded.
