Two distinct beaches sit back-to-back near the Cabo Arch. One offers calm swimming waters, while the other features dangerous ocean currents.
Lover's Beach faces the calm Sea of Cortez, making it a popular stop for boat tours. A short walk across the sand takes you to Divorce Beach, which faces the rough Pacific Ocean.
You can only reach these beaches by water. Most operators charge from $12 to $25 USD for a round-trip water taxi ride from the Cabo San Lucas Marina. Prices can change based on the provider.
1-2 hoursWater taxi drop-off
This sheltered sandy cove sits on the Sea of Cortez side and features calm waters. It serves as the main drop-off point for visitors exploring the rocks on foot. Arrange a specific pickup time with your water taxi captain before they leave you here.
20 minutesNo swimming allowed
This contiguous beach faces the open Pacific Ocean and features thunderous, sweeping waves. Swimming is strictly prohibited here due to extremely dangerous, deadly rip currents. Stay well back from the shoreline to avoid rogue waves.
10 minutesLow tide only
This small coastal cave connects to local legends of the 16th-century English pirate Thomas Cavendish. You can find it located within the surrounding rock formations. Explore this area only during favorable low tides for your own safety.
