Shipwreck Beach Guide
After doing Shipwreck Beach Guide countless times, here is my honest take.
Shipwreck Beach: Check current conditions before visiting and ask locals about swimming safety. Swimming: Check conditions.
Everything you need to know about shipwreck beach in Cabo (Free access, parking varies, rentals available at some beaches) from someone who's been here a while. Skip the generic advice.
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.
Pro tip from locals: morning slots have calmer water and better conditions.
