TOP PELICAN

ROCK - LOVER’S BEACH

Playa del Amor, or “Lover’s Beach” is a poetic paradise bounded by towering rocks that offers gorgeous views across the bay. Water-based transportation is a must, the easiest and cheapest method being one of the many pangas (or water taxis) that operate out of the Cabo San Lucas Marina or from Medano Beach. Enjoy a snorkeling tour at Pelican Rock and take in the awe of the natural sea beauty in sunny Los Cabos.

Access is available by water taxi from Medano Beach or Cabo San Lucas Marina.

Santa Maria Bay

The Bahia Santa Maria is one of the top destinations for snorkeling in Cabo. The bay is shaped like a horseshoe and is full of various tropical fish and marine life. Perfect for families wishing to swim and snorkel in a beautiful marine sanctuary, it is a favored destination for charter boats that offer scuba diving and snorkeling. The best time of day to experience the Santa Maria Bay is in the morning, when the water is calm and the fish are most visible. The bay is considered an official marine preserve and you are permitted to feed the fish while you are there. There are very few public facilities at Santa Maria Bay so it is suggested that you bring your own food, water, and other supplies.

Access at KM 12 Transpeninsular Hwy.

Playa Chileno

This beach is the most popular diving and snorkeling site in Cabo San Lucas, thanks to the Chileno Bay, underwater visibility is perfect for observing the sea life below. The clarity and beauty of the water here is reminiscent of the beaches you would find in the Caribbean. Plenty of exotic fish such as angelfish and parrot fish can be spotted here. It is also home to tropical fish, moray eels, sea turtles, sea urchins, sea fans, sponges and starfish. There are restrooms and showers on the beach, but there aren’t any restaurants so don’t forget to pack food and beverages.

Access at KM 15 Transpeninsular Hwy.

Cabo Pulmo

Cabo Pulmo Pedro is definitely one of the most scenic sites along the east coast and well worth the drive. Cabo Pulmo National Park features clear and calm waters that make it a top spot for snorkeling. The park is a series of protected marine sanctuaries that form a bay around 1 of the 3 living coral reefs in North America. No trip to Cabo is complete without visiting the coral reef and the abundance of marine animals up close.

Access is approximately 1.5 hours north of San Jose del Cabo on the East Cape.
