Quick Answer

El Tule: Less crowded alternative in the corridor. Swimming: True.

Here's the deal with el tule in Cabo (Free access, parking varies, rentals available at some beaches). It's a solid experience if you book right — here's how.

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.

Lover's Beach is only accessible by water taxi from Medano ($15-20 round trip). It's beautiful and iconic but bring everything you need — no vendors or facilities.

Pro tip from locals: download offline maps - cell service is spotty outside town.
