Latest reviews on Baja California Sur's beaches

Playa Los Mangos
6 Yulia Carrillo

Una playa muy muy hermosa, solo para contemplar, la arena, sol, viento, el cielo,cel atardecer o el amanecer, el agua salada con el sonido de las olas, que te incita a reflexionar y meditar, super tranquilo, solo ruido de ladrido de perros que llevan algunos turistas, pero es muy hermoso lugar.

Playa Cabo San Lucas
10 Eric "Stellarscape"

While searching for a spot to snorkel and cool off, we unexpectedly discovered this amazing beach that is popular among the locals. Right away, we noticed the contrast between the pushy vendors at the harbor and the more laid-back atmosphere on the beach. We decided to walk towards the quieter section of the beach and found a lovely spot near a charming small family. We felt completely safe and comfortable enough to go snorkeling together. Don't forget to bring a cooler with some drinks and food because you won't want to leave!

Playa Puerto Agua Verde
10 Liam "Bill" Dawson

The drive to get there may be a bit unconventional, but it is definitely worth it. The beach itself is stunning, and Leonor, the host, is absolutely amazing. Her fish tacos are mouthwatering, served with fresh tomatoes, lettuce, and two types of chili condiments. It's worth taking the time to have a conversation with her, as she has an incredible story to share. We will definitely be returning without any hesitation.

Punta Lobos
10 Javier Rodriguez

We had a wonderful and peaceful time at the beach. All we did was sit and appreciate the salty breeze, the soothing sound of the waves, and the sight of families happily strolling on the sandy shore with their kids.

Tequila Cove Beach
8 Avery Carter

This hotel offers exceptional services and a fantastic location near the beach. Although the beach is lovely, it is important to note that the current can be quite strong, making it difficult to swim. Nonetheless, the beach is still a great place to relax and soak up the sun.

Playa Puerta Cortes
10 Benjamin Ryder

The hotel is located in the marina, right next to the Hyatt and other luxurious hotels. The rooms are clean and well furnished. The service provided is outstanding and the value for money is exceptional. They offer breakfast/brunch every day until noon. There are three swimming pools and plenty of areas to relax and unwind. Each room has a pleasant patio with a table and chairs, and the air conditioning is powerful. Throughout the day, there are various food and drink options available. 🍹🦜

Please note that lifeguards supervise 25 beaches in the state, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.

The hottest month of the state is August - air temperature during this time warms up to 33.3°C and water up to 31.3°C. The coldest month is March - air temperature drops to 16.8°C and water to 16.1°C.
