Here's the deal with medano beach snorkeling in Cabo (Free access, parking varies, rentals available at some beaches). It's a solid experience if you book right — here's how.
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.
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: bring your own umbrella. Rentals are $20-30/day.
