Cabo San Lucas Beaches - Los Cabos, Baja California Sur, Mexico

Blue Coast Beach - Playa Costa Azul

San Jose del Cabo, Los Cabos, Baja California Sur, Mexico

For great summer surfing head for Playa Costa Azul (Blue Coast Beach). The surf break north of the arroyo is known as Zippers and is for the more advanced surfer. Two breaks exist to the south – The Rock, and Old Man’s. The Rock is best for intermediate surfers and the second (a.k.a. Acapulquito beach) for beginners or long boarders. In the winter, when the surf is calmer, one can enjoy swimming and snorkeling here. Walking, surf fishing and horse riding are good year-round. Horse stables exist back up the Costa Azul arroyo past the bridge as well as an overhead pulley Canopy Adventure tour that spans the canyons.

Beginning at the Lookout just past the Cabo Surf Hotel at Kilometer 28, this beach runs for a mile east to the arroyo next to the former La Brisa trailer park and restaurant now being torn down for more luxury condos.

Adjacent to the arroyo on the east side of the former trailer park is a new beach club under construction for the Club Campuestre housing development across the highway.

Playa Costa Azul (Blue Coast Beach) is best accessible from the arroyo that passes beneath the bridge at Costa Azul beach at Km. 28. Adjacent to the arroyo to the north is Zippers restaurant - where one can enjoy watching surfers riding waves while dining on burgers, ribs and tacos. Surfboard and snorkel gear rentals are available at the surf shop across the highway and at the Mike Doyle surf school under the Cabo Surf Hotel on Acapulquito beach at Km. 28. 19 February 2007 - David Mandich.
