Got there by kayaking with a tour. Lover's beach is wonderful with great rock formations on the edges. You still need to be careful about the waves on the Lover's Beach side which can be tricky (but not overly dangerous). Great photo ops and snorkeling can be done, though there is lots of boat traffic to be aware of. Look... More

Take a glass-bottomed boat to see this attraction. It's ok to swim on this side, but please don't try to swim at divorce beach. Super dangerous! More

We went here on a snorkeling tour. Wished we would have taken a water taxi out one day so we could have just relaxed on our own schedule. Really cool beach to hang out on for a while. More

while we were there several dummies tried taking pictures on the "divorce" side of the beach where there are very hazordous waves and signs telling you so. As surfers we know that they were near extreme danger of getting pulled into large pounding waves and were expecting to have to rescue them. More

Crowded, too many boats to snorkel. I got hit in the head by a kayak. Pretty area. From Solmar you can walk but have to climb over rocks More

It's awesome and beautiful out here! Pack a lunch and some drinks, and head out here on a water taxi for the day! Snorkeling is doable, but bring a life jacket if you value breathing! More

I love this beach and always come here when I go to Cabo. Bring your beach and snorkel gear and come early - before everyone else gets there! Take a water taxi for $5-10 and spend all day there and swim and snorkel. Find a private spot by the rocks and bring lots of sunscreen and snacks. There are no... More
