Question

What exactly are the beaches like in Cabo? Anything like Cancun.?

Answer 1

Cabo is on the Pacific. The beaches are nice but you don't get that beautiful soft white sand like you get on the caribbean sea/cancun side.

Answer 2

No not like cancun. Not as busy so you have more space. In my opinion they are better!

Answer 3

Hola!  This seems to be the question of the hour.  lol.  I've answered the same question 3 times now!

What are the beaches like.  Well, let me be honest.

The beaches that line the coast of Cabo change drastically all year round due to currents, tides, and hurricanes. The pacific ocean is very powerful and therefore the water near shore can be too.

But we do have the beautiful white sands, lovely clear warm turquoise waters, and for most of the year our beaches are wonderful. Some days the wind can kick up and it gets a little rougher. There are particular beaches in Cabo that are more sheltered and lovely for swimming and snorkelling. Here's some of them: Medano, Palmilla, Chileno, Zippers, Santa Maria.

Some of the resorts are on stretches of beach that are not as sheltered and therefore are a bit rougher. Strong tide pull, rip tide, undertow, rouge waves, etc. Most of them will post a flag telling you if it is safe to swim or not. Also, most have overcompensated with lovely pools, or they have build a breakwater.

You will not find beaches like the Caribbean in Cabo. So do not compare them. Totally different ocean.

However!  I swim almost every day on one of the roughest beaches (Costa Azul) and love it!
