Thinking about santa maria beach restaurants in Cabo? Good choice — budget Free access, parking varies, rentals available at some beaches. Here's what you need to know before booking.

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.

Divorce Beach (Pacific side of the Arch) is stunning for photos but dangerous for swimming. Strong currents claim lives every year. Respect the signs.

Pro tip from locals: tip in pesos when possible - workers get better rates.
