Although travel restrictions are currently in place for the majority of the world, it doesn’t hurt to dream about a vacation to Mexico. When it is safe to vacation again, consider visiting Cabo San Lucas. Cabo San Lucas is a world class tourist destination that is located on the southern tip of the Baja California Sur peninsula. The area has a pleasant climate that is warm, sunny and dry most of the year.  There are excellent restaurants, great shopping, and some of the best beaches in Mexico.  Cabo is also a great place to buy a second home in Mexico. Villa La Estancia Cabo is a modern hotel-condo concept property that offers homeowners the best of both worlds. Expats who want a perfect vacation home in Mexico get a private beachfront residence, and access to luxury resort amenities and services, too. Keep reading below to learn more about the top 5 Cabo beaches to check out.

#1 El Medano Beach

El MĂ©dano beach is one of the top Cabo beaches. The luxurious Villa La Estancia property is located on this popular beach that is ideal for swimming. With amazing views of the El Arco rock formation, you can take a boat from El Medano beach to see El Arco up close for yourself.

Friendly and hardworking masseuses are available to give you a massage on the beach.   

#2 Love Beach

Our number 2 beach to visit is known as Love Beach. Love Beach is considered a romantic spot that earned its name because locals claim that when two people go to Love Beach, three people end up leaving. Love Beach has desert dunes in the background that makes for a picture-perfect setting.  The sparkling sea views will take your breath away, but no swimming is allowed at the beach due to strong currents. Instead, Love Beach is a great spot to enjoy a picnic or soak up the sun.   

#3 Divorce Beach

Divorce Beach is situated next to Love Beach. This is another beach that doesn’t allow swimming as it has a beautiful yet rocky shoreline with strong tides. Divorce Beach is less crowded so if you want to get away from it all, it is a great spot. Make sure to bring an umbrella, snacks and drinks with you as there are no restaurants in the area.  

#4 Chileno Beach

Chileno Beach is the 4th Cabo beach to visit. Known as the most popular public beach in the area, Chileno Beach has public bathrooms and showers for beach goers. Also, lifeguards work in the area to help keep swimmers safe.  Chileno Beach has plenty of parking although it can become quite crowded during weekends and holidays.  If you like snorkeling, you will love that you can walk into the ocean and snorkel around vibrant coral reefs. Lastly, if you love people watching, Chileno Beach is a great choice since it is quite popular. 

#5 Santa Maria Beach

Our 4th choice for the top 5 Cabo beaches is Santa Maria Beach. Santa Maria Beach has crystal clear water and beautiful white sandy shores. Plus, there are lovely small tidepools in the area that are filled with crabs and fishes. You may even see tiny hedgehogs that are known to nestle among the rocks.
