Land's
End in front of the Finisterra and Solmar Hotels and Terrasol condominiums
on the peninsula's very tip is wide, smooth and wonderful for strolling,
snoozing, sun-bathing and listening to the sound of the surf. Whale watching
and enjoying the scenery are the favorite pastimes.
Lover's
Beach,
Playa de Amor, is small and sparkling. Most people arrive by boat from
the dock at Cabo San Lucas though you can get there by hiking over the
rocks on Land's End beaches from the Hotel Solmar. This is the only place
where you walk from the Sea of Cortez to the Pacific Ocean in a matter
of seconds. The contrast is unforgettable.
Medano in front of the Hacienda and Melia Hotel is open to visitors of several
resorts, lined with restaurants and beach shops, selling curios and renting
all sorts of exotic water sports equipment. Jet skis, wind surfers, fishing
boats, canoes and diving gear are all available.
Los
Arcos is for body surfers. But be prepared. The road from the
highway to the beach is rough. A real adventure. Bring lunch!
Whale's
Head, Cabeza de Ballena, for sport fishing and snorkeling,
or just relaxing.
Shipwreck,
Playa Barco Varado, Km. 9.5. In 1964 a Japanese freighter found an unfortunate
home here. Now fishing, diving, snorkeling, swimming and surfing can be
found here.
Widow's
Beach,
Playa de las Viudas, Km. 11, is great for swimming. Tidepools with interesting
marine life make it an underwater explorer's dream.
Santa
Maria, Km. 12 is one of the world's
most beautiful bays. Vermilion mountains drop into the water at either
side of this perfect moon-shaped beach. Ideal for swimming, snorkeling
and diving. Bring your own picnic. Make a day of it.
Chileno,
Km. 15 by the Hotel Cabo San Lucas is great for swimming, diving, waterskiing
and surfing. Sports equipment can be rented. Local guides will help you
on your way.
Buenos
Aires, is a brilliant expanse of beach, good for surfing and
strolling; not swimming. Great for whale watching.
Palmilla lies just north of Hotel Palmilla. Naturally protected and ideal for swimming,
diving, or snorkeling. Sports equipment available for rent. It's also
the launching pad for the Palmilla fleet, one of the finest in the world.
Acapulquito,
The "Hot" surfing beach. If it's too rough for your tastes,
don't worry...people-watching makes up for it.
Costa
Azul Beach is a favorite with local surfers. San José
del Cabo's fishing fleet is based here and at daybreak it's a sight worth
seeing as the armada chases the newborn sun.
