Medano Beach - Playa El Médano — All-Round Best Cabo San Lucas Beach
Los Cabos Magazine Issue #10 - 2006
El Médano ( The Dune ) is Cabo’s main beach, and is a great place to hang out with an outstanding view of Land’s End from any vantage point. Stretching two miles from the marina entrance to Villa del Palmar, El Médano is the best place to swim in Cabo San Lucas. Packed with restaurant-bars in the sand, you’ll find beach volleyball, high-powered Jet Skis and Wave Runners, kayaks, small catamarans, sailboats, ski boats, boogie boarding, and parasailing. Snorkeling and dive trips to sites near El Arco are easily arranged. Not a beach for those looking for privacy, El Médano is known for all-day happy hours, people watching, and plenty of beach vendors. For fewer crowds, walk northeast towards Club Cascadas and Villa del Palmar. With plenty to do and little surf year round, this beach is highly recommended for families. Swimming areas are roped off along the beach.
Access: From downtown, walk around the marina past Puerto Paraiso and Marina Fiesta to the end and go left at the channel entrance; or drive via Paseo del Pescador or Camino Hotel Hacienda. Parking is scarce; prepare to walk at least a few blocks, especially during spring break, and holidays. Or, take a taxi to avoid parking headaches.

Don’t misunderstand me, Medano Beach, Playa El Médano, is a blast—it’s where the action is and is close to downtown Cabo San Lucas — a true destination beach for the young at heart. It is the place to see and be seen, where the party continues all day and into the night.
Medano Beach does not necessarily offer the tranquility of Santa Maria or Palmilla Beach but that’s what makes the beaches of Los Cabos so unique—there is a special place for everyone. Play volleyball, throw a frisbee with friends, or build a sandcastle with the kids—come and enjoy.
