Great beach to walk or swim. Lots of fun spots to stop and eat or have a snack and a drink. You can swim at this beach which is rare along the coast of the Sea of Corez. Lots of water sport rentals as well. Nice to just sit and watch everyone too!

Medano has everything you could want. Restaurants, pubs, Entertainment, water sports, view to lands end. The only bother is all the vendors but what do you expect its Mexico.

Depends on what you're looking for - if you want more of a party scene, Medano might be your scene. We were looking for something a bit quieter, without having to pay $20 pp for a decent spot. To each his own!

Medano has the better swimming section of this stretch of beach, but littered with peddlers and water taxis vying to take you to Lover's Beach. It's hard to enjoy the water when you're constantly being harassed.

We stayed on the corridor, but found ourselves going to Medano beach for water activities. Make sure you haggle the price down, get neighboring shops to compete with each other. Also, my adult kids like to hang out at some of the restaurants there (Mango Deck, The Office, etc). The views of El Arco are good, although distant. And of... More

This is the place to stay however, it is not swim-able....the undertow is intense. Ads say only swim-able beach in Cabo.....nah. Watch the tides and make sure you don't have a huge drop off the beach because the waves will drag you down. Be careful. Gorgeous beach...some areas easier to maneuver like near Bonita, etc.

You can find almost anything on this beach. If you want the more active side, there are several beachfront bars at which the younger crowd congregates, but if you want a quiter area, you can find that also. Nice view of Lands End and boats going to the harbor. In front of some of the nicer hotels in the Cabo... More

Medano Beach is the stretch of beach looking out at the famous El Arco Rocks or Land's End. It is lined with hotels and beach restaurants. The water is a beautiful bluegreen and safe for swimming. The only negatives are that once a week,the cruise ships dock in the bay, and the vendors will pester you trying to sell their... More
