Playa Medano

Playa Médano is Cabo's most crowded beach, with crystal blue waters and plenty of beachside watering holes attracting hoards of sunbathers. In addition to taking it easy with a drink, Playa Médano also offers some active attractions, including beach volleyball, jet skiing, kayaking, boogie boarding and parasailing. From the nearby boat port you can also take snorkeling tour or a panga (boat) out to the iconic Los Arcos.

Despite the crowds, Playa Médano beach and waters remain very clean. One traveler on TripAdvisor notes that "the beach is exquisitely clean for the mass amount of people that frequent the spot." The same traveler also remarks that food and drinks at the beach "are outrageously expensive" so bring a picnic if you're looking to save some cash.

Playa Médano is free to visit, and there are no set hours of operation. If you'd like to escape the crowds, head south toward two other top Cabo attractions, Land's End and Playa del Amor.
