Lovers Beach in Cabo costs Free access, parking varies, rentals available at some beaches and it's one of the more popular activities for visitors. Here's what to expect.

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.

Pro tip from locals: off-season means smaller crowds and better deals.
