About the Place
What to Know Santa María Beach is a protected cove with gentle turquoise water and a soft sandy bottom, making it one of the most beloved beaches near Cabo San Lucas. The bay’s shape and calm sea create excellent conditions for swimming and snorkeling almost year-round. It’s accessible by road, with parking and basic facilities at the entrance. The beach sits within a marine sanctuary, so respect for wildlife and rules is encouraged. What to Do Santa María is best known for snorkeling over coral and among tropical fish right off the sand, where water visibility is often excellent. Swimming is easy and relaxed thanks to the bay’s calm surface and gradual depth. Many visitors take scenic walks along the shore or lounge under umbrellas on the sand. Kayaks and paddleboards are popular for exploring the bay at your own pace. How to Get There Santa María Beach is a short drive west from central Cabo San Lucas. Public parking is available at the beach entrance, and taxis or rideshare services can drop you off nearby. Once parked, it’s a short walk down to the sand and water. Transport...
