  • This is an awesome snorkel beach! Just a quick drive from Cabo to San Jose and you've found a relaxing spot to sit under the thatched roof umbrellas, snorkel, swim, paddle board or build a sand castle...  more »
  • Visited the beach on 6/8. The beach is beautiful and the waves aren't too big that you can't swim. Like most beaches in Cabo there is not a gentle slope as you enter the water - watch out for the drop...  more »
  • This is a really nice beach for a walk or just to hang out for a few hours. Its public & has great sand & a beautiful view. Doesn't really get that crowded  more »
