We're planning a Temptations trip for August. Are there any nice swimming beaches which aren't too far from the resort? Pref very small waves or calm water. Any help would be appreciated.
Here is a link for the BEST beaches in Cabo. This will help you get started in picking what appeals to you the best and the location as well! Cabo San Lucas, Best Beaches in Los Cabos - Medano, Chilleno, Lover's, Santa Maria We loved Nikki Beach
Found this too! The sun is always shining, perfect day for the beach. What??? The currents are too treacherous? Welcome to the tip of the Baja where the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortes collide. Not to worry, there are some excellent beaches, they are just a little tricky to find. The first two I’m going to tell you about are on corridor between San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas. They are not really marked well, but the first one is called Playa Santa Maraia and is between kilometer marker 12 and 13. I’m going to go ahead and assume you know it is on the ocean side. Sheltered from the currents, this is a beautiful beach for swimming and snorkeling. The second beach is Playa Chilenos. There is a gravel parking lot with no real trail markings between kilometer markers 14 and 15. Again, beautiful once you find it. The third beach is called Playa Cerritos. It is on the road north out of cabo san lucas (hwy 19) around kilometer 65. They just don’t seem to mark beaches around here !! This one is a surfing beach with a very strong current, but not as dangerous as the beaches at many of the resorts. After going down the wrong two track once, you will find the parking lot and here in the middle of no where with a bar called Cerritos Beach Club !!with a big Harley sitting in the middle between the plasma TV and the pool table. There is even wireless and they will loan you a laptop !!! I read somewhere there is even live jazz on Sundays!!
When we were there in Jan there was a few people in the water but the black flags were up the entire week. Apparently there is a realy bad undertow so use with caution. Honestly i suggest you hang out at the pool or the hot tub. thats where all the fun is anyway.
Thanks kd. The info has been a big help. Pools are ok, but I can go to a pool at home. Of course I'll want to be around the pool for all the fun though...and I do love hot tubs! Hubby doesn't really have a preference, but I've always lived close to the beach growing up and really miss it. The salt water is sooooo much nicer than chlorine. It would be nice to be able to spend some time (hopefully with a great group of new friends) at a really nice beach too.
Hey! We just bought a pool and instead of a Chlorine filter, we purchased a salt-water filter....LIFE CHANGING! You should REALLY look into it because it is not only nice to have softer skin & no faded bathing suits (when you wear them BUT the cost-savings for salt versus chemicals is crazy! We just bought 300lbs of salt, dumped it in and didn't need to mess with it ALL SEASON! All you gotta do is skim & vacuum it, but never have to check levels or add chemicals at all and the pool stays crystal clear all season. Just a random side note... Cheers!
