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

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.

Cabo's beaches range from the party scene at Medano to completely empty stretches along the East Cape. The Pacific side generally has stronger currents and is not swimmable.

Chileno Bay and Santa Maria are the best snorkeling beaches, both with calm protected coves. Free access, limited facilities. Arrive before 10am for the best spots.

Pro tip from locals: bring cash for tips (10-20 dollars per person).
