Playa El Medano, Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur, Mexico

Playa El Medano is the most popular and safe swimming beach in Cabo San Lucas. It is no surprise that this is Cabo's most crowded beach, with crystal blue waters and plenty of beachside watering holes. There seems to be something for everyone from families with kids to hordes of sunbathers. You can get massages and enjoy fresh seafood and fruits right there on the beach. Easy availability of boat rides from here means you are not limited to just the beach but can take hour (or more) long rides to the arch or adjacent beaches. A few spots for scuba diving are within reach as well.
