description Medano Beach Overview

Médano Beach is the principal resort beach at Cabo San Lucas in Baja California Sur, Mexico. It extends along the sheltered side of the bay facing the Sea of Cortez and is known for generally calmer water than beaches exposed directly to the Pacific Ocean. Its location beside the city's hotel and marina district makes it a center for swimming, boating, personal watercraft, and other organized beach activities.
