El Medano - Cabo San Lucas

Great beach where you can actually get in the water, just make sure you know how to swim before you dive further in lol. Lots of vendors so might get bombarded if you act on one lol, but it is Mexico so not a big deal. Safe beach with lots of people enjoying the weather.

Love the clean sand, cool ocean water, and the view of the rock formations at Medano Beach. But the positives of Medano Beach can get overshadowed by the never ending parade of vendors that are constantly coming up to you to sell their trinkets. Photo opps with iguanas, henna tattoos, braids, bracelets, crafted bowls, rides on banana boats, blankets, etc are just a few of the items/services that the vendors are selling. For all the days that I spent at Medano beach, I have yet to find any vendor there that sells ice cream or popsicles- the items that I truly want while sun tanning on the beach. Also, Medano Beach can get very crowded, but I never had any trouble finding a spot. You just have to make a trek along the beach to find an empty spot. Medano Beach is definitely a bustling and lively beach, which may or may not be your cup of tea. On a side note, the fireworks at Medano Beach on July 4th is amazing!! The show of fireworks came on around 9pm and didn't last for a long time, but the view was perfect. Very exciting to be standing on the beach and getting a super close view of the fireworks exploding in the sky.

During our port stop at Cabo San Lucas, we took an awesome tour and had such an incredible experience at Playa El Médano in Cabo San Lucas. The beach was absolutely stunning, with crystal-clear turquoise waters and soft, white sand. There were lots of beachfront eateries and lounge areas, and the atmosphere was lively and fun. I would highly recommend this beach to anyone visiting Cabo San Lucas.

The beach was directly behind the hotel we were staying at, Breathless Cabo San Lucas. As we have been told it is probably one of the more safer beaches in Cabo. The water is so clean, you can literally see your toes in the sand. We were lucky enough to have a section of the beach reserved for guest of Breathless. The beach is a public beach so it does get pretty packed. Along the shore they also have several other hotels so it does get pretty packed. You must be cautious because they have some strong waves but it is not too bad. We enjoyed our time there and we were able to walk the beach. Be aware they are plenty of beach vendors but it is not a big deal, just say no and they will go on there way but trust me they are plenty.

So I 've visited Mango deck millions of times and always had a great time (sometimes too much fun this time by accident of an Uber driver we ended up in medano beach. We asked and they said they had chair and table rentals and drinks so we decided to stay. We started the day with a 1 hour massage and that was amazing !!! Then Beto gave us a great spot to sit and people watch . It was perfect ! Then the waiter Mosco offered us 2x1 drinks which we happily accepted . He was a little off with the instruction . I kept asking for one thing he would say another , this happened several times but didn 't think much of it. Then when the bill came he had totally forgotten about the 2x1 drink specials .... Like it never existed . Charged me for full price , which wasn 't what he said . I was so upset !! I am from Baja so took it extra bad!!! Anyway I went to talk to their supervisor who charged me half of what this dude was saying . I left so angry. My friend then got held hostage (almost for the rental price of the chair. Anyway my point being that mango deck, the office , etc will give you a better experience of that of wondering off to try and be like the locals .
