Cabo resorts with swimmable beach

Hi Ladies.

 

The best swimmable beaches in Cabo are:

 

Lover's beach (also on the pacific side but ONLY if you're a really really godd swimmer

Hacienda Beach (watch for the stignrays though, stay away from the rocks and you're safe)

Medano Beach (from Baja Cantina to Mango Deck. That's Medano Beach)

From Medano beach all the way up to Club Cascadas

From Villa del Arco or Palmar to RIU it's OK, but not entirely safe, due to strong currents and Undertow.

 

On the corridor there are only a few spots...

Cabo Del Sol (Fiesta Americana and others) not entirely safe, due to rocks, hard currents and unertows.

Twind Dolphin Hotel (only the beach in front of it, the one next to ir has too much rocks)

Santa Maria and Chileno are completely safe (as long as there isn't any storms)

Maybe el Tule, but is more for surf than swimming

Dreams and Marquis... STAY AWAY. Strong Currents, strong undertows, big waves. Not even locals swim there.

Hilton, Melia Cabo Real, swimmable thanks to the wall they built.

Westin it's kind of safe but still, beware.

Palmilla has a nice beach too, swimmable of course

San Jose (Costa azul, Zippers, and all are mostly surfing spots)

Presidente Intecontinental. Stay Away, there are currents and undertows, way too strong, the create "holes", spots where currents going in different directions crash into each other, creating even stronger currents. Big Waves also.

 

DO NOT SWIM TO THE ARCH, IT'S NOT WORTH DYING FOR.

 

Just in case anyone wonders how I know this.... Iwas born here, 28 years ago, my family's been around this town for centuries now, so, Iguess I know something about swimmable beaches around my hometown.

HI again, that "no-name" beach, we locals know it as "Las Primeras Piedras" something like "The First Rocks"; since that is the beginning of the bay. Now it's known as "Misiones" or "Monumentos" (monuments). Some Surfer came by years ago, and said that the rocks were like monuments, and someone started calling it like that. It's swimmable and a bit private, just beware of rocks and swells and you're good to go.

Cheers

Yip, those beaches are open-sea shores, though there are some small streches of "swimmable strips", but ya, they could pose a few unnecesary risks. And you'd be better off just getting your feet wet and enjoy the splash. Medano is your best bet, though it is sometimes very crowded and jet skis around. I personally don't like that beach, but if you go further down, close to RIU, the place is quite swimmable when the waves aren't high. Have fun!cheer2.gif

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
