Know before you go

Stick to Medano for swimming — most other Cabo beaches face open ocean and have dangerous currents.

Rent a jet ski or paddleboard right on the sand, no advance booking usually needed.

Beach clubs along the shore offer day-pass access to pools and loungers if you want more than just sand.
