This was a great beach for snorkelling or swimming. Easily accessible. We saw whales in May. No shade. Palapas would be great!

We drove to Playa Santa Maria twice during our recent trip to Cabo. The ocean temperature is brisk in April, but it's not too bad.
Taking our own snorkel gear, umbrella, and snacks is the best way to spend an entire afternoon. We saw lots of other families doing the same.
My $30 waterproof camera came in handy, but I...

i was only at the beach a short time, however the water was fairly calm and swimable, there was a lot of fish you could snorkel and see. Very Beautiful
This beach has very clear water to snorkel in . The beach is little pebbles , not sand . It can be busy with boat tours .
