Cabo Family Activities

Los Cabos may be a dreamy spot for a romantic getaway, or a sportfishing adventure with your pals, but this area is also a terrific destination for families. When you’re not building sandcastles at the beach, you can take the kids on a zip-line tour, go whale watching in the Sea of Cortez, or take a glass-bottomed boat ride to El Arco and Land’s End.

There are horseback riding excursions, catamaran tours, and family programs at Cabo Dolphins, where you can interact with these intelligent marine mammals.

For an amazing day of snorkeling and tide pool explorations, take the kids to Chileno Bay.

Cabo San Lucas Beach Guide

The swath of inviting coastline between San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas has more than a dozen gorgeous beaches. Some are great for swimming, some for surfing and water sports, and others for pure relaxation. Despite their differences and nuances, all beaches in Cabo share one common trait: plenty of warm rays with nearly 350 sunny days a year! The so-called “Tourist Corridor,” the 20-mile strip that connects the two towns has the largest number of public beaches.

• Best beaches for swimming: For calm, swimmable surf try Medano Beach (east flank of Cabo San Lucas Bay), Playa Barco Verado, Playa Bledito or the lovely Playa Palmilla.
• Best quiet beaches: Seeking a private stretch of shoreline for some R&R? Check out Playa Las Viudas (Widow’s Beach) or the empty shores of Playa Cabo Real. Be careful of the strong surf, neither is suitable for swimming.
• Best beaches for surfing/water sports: Experienced surfers can test their mettle on a range of different breaks in Cabos. Beginners can take surf lessons at Playa Acapulquito, whereas most veterans head to Playa Monumento and Playa Costa Azul – site of several surf competitions.
