Playa Las Viudas — Local Favorite
Excerpt from Los Cabos Magazine #10 - 2006
Secluded Playa Las Viudas (Widows’ Beach) has an “away from it all” feeling. Also called Twin Dolphin Beach after the nearby hotel, the shoreline features interesting rock outcroppings and tidal pools that create private areas to spend a lazy afternoon swimming or exploring the pools. Swim with caution; this beach is not recommended for children.

Access: Enter next to the Twin Dolphin hotel, on the southwest side at Kilometer 12.5. A new resort is slated for development in this area, and access to this little known beach may change in the future.

Travel writer Larry Dunmire talks about Twin Dolphin Beach. This beach is now know as Playa Las Viudas. The Twin Dolphin Hotel was demolished in 2008 to allow for construction of new delelopments.
If you discover this beach, you have discovered one of my favorite places.

Tucked away by the Hotel Twin Dolphin, Playa Las Viudas seems to almost always be secluded. Even if there are people around, you might never know due to the beaches unique little coves and volcanic rock formations. This is the perfect place to sun yourself for an afternoon (in the buff if you’d like) and have a picnic, while enjoying the peaceful and serene nature that surrounds you.
The sapphire ocean off Playa Las Viudas beach shimmers in the sun, reflecting the reefs below, creating extraordinary beauty that makes the trip to this primitive beach inviting. These reefs are great for snorkeling, diving, and swimming; however, it is wise to use caution and only swim when the water is calm. Bring along your beach essentials: umbrella, hat, sun screen, lotion, water and anything else you deem necessary, since supplies are not available nearby. To find this charming retreat in paradise, turn right at KM 12.5 just before the Hotel Twin Dolphin entrance and follow the dirt road for about 7/10th of a mile down to the beach.

At certain times of the year, the sand can be relatively deep and soft and may require 4 wheel drive, but for the most part the road is navigable by any vehicle. There are several secluded spots in this area as you continue west along the beach toward the Cabo del Sol Golf Course and development. So enjoy a relaxing afternoon away from the bustle of downtown Cabo San Lucas and allow yourself to transcend to a more natural Los Cabos beach experience.

Excerpt from Los Cabos Magazine Issue #7 - 2001
Very close to Santa Maria, on the other side of the Twin Dolphin, Playa Las Viudas (Widows’ Beach) is also known as Twin Dolphin Beach. Well hidden from the road, it’s a favorite of locals looking for privacy, yet often you may be the only visitor. Access is next to the hotel entrance, on the southwest side at Km. 12. While not suitable for small children, Las Viudas is swimmable and has more seclusion to the southwest. Although there are no designated “nude beaches” in Los Cabos, this is one area where the rock formations make it possible to discreetly sunbathe “au natural.” No resorts have claimed this stretch yet, and there are no services or beach vendors, making this gorgeous locale feel deliciously remote.
