Cabo San Lucas beaches
Who Cabo is for
- West-coast and Texas flyers who want a shorter hop than many Caribbean routings
- Travelers who like marina energy, sunset cruises, and golf/resort infrastructure
- Anyone who will read swim flags—Pacific-side surf can be dangerous
Beach safety in plain English
Baja guides (and common visitor advice) stress that some iconic Cabo beaches are for walking and photos, not swimming. Prefer marked swimmable coves and resort-guarded areas. Ask your hotel and follow posted flags.
