Medano Beach runs nearly 3 km east from the marina entrance. Cabo Tour Guides priced ten hotels for two adults on five dates between October 2026 and February 2027; the "from" prices below are their lowest nightly rates before taxes and fees, which can add about 20%.
Guests describe swimming in the central stretch in front of the Pueblo Bonito resorts, while guests at the Riu hotels on the eastern end report water too rough to swim. Always check the flag that day.
