Playa Médano
Cabo San Lucas has three main beaches. The most popular is Playa Médano, which runs northeast for about 3km (2 miles) from the Hacienda Beach Resort (under renovation). The water is crystal clear and calm, making it ideal for swimming (or, as the case may be, wading with a margarita glasses in hand). Buoyed swimming areas keep the jet skis, parasailers and fishing pangas away from the swimmers (at least in theory), and cruise ships float off shore.
With several bars right on the beach, it's a great place to chill out, pound your favorite cocktails and basically feel merry in the sun.

Land's End
Land's End is by far the biggest, and most impressive, attraction Cabo San Lucas has to offer. Get on a panga (a fiberglass skiff) and head to El Arco (the Arch), a jagged natural feature which partially fills with the tide. Pelicans, sea lions, sea, sky - this is what brought people to Cabo in the first place and it's still magical, despite the mammoth cruise ship towering behind it.

Playa del Amor
Baja's most famous beach, Playa del Amor (Lover's Beach) has sands on both the Pacific Ocean and the bay side. Hurricanes have eroded the bay side of the beach significantly but the Pacific side still has plenty of sand. Unfortunately the Pacific side is unsafe for swimming, and is jokingly referred to as Divorce Beach.

Playa Solmar
Playa Solmar is quieter than Playa del Amor and well suited for sunbathing; however, it has a reputation for unpredictable breakers that drown several unsuspecting tourists every year. It's accessible via the road to Hotel Solmar.
