All About Mexico > Beaches
From family beaches, to pristine primitive beaches, looking for solitude, to rock & roll beaches and water sports rentals, no need to wander too far along the coastline from San Jose down to Cabo San Lucas...you'll find what you're looking for! You've got front row seating to twenty one miles of the best the world has to offer in swimming, diving, snorkeling, kayaking, solitary shores and amazing marine life.
A family beach stretching for a mile with palapas (an open-sided dwelling with a thatched roof made of dried palm leaves), snorkling, bay swimming, and fishing boats for hire. There is an old feeding ritual occurring every afternoon here, once the fishermen return to shore: a parade of anxious pelicans waiting for the anglers to cast off their scraps. For generations, this afternoon delight takes place, the pelicans are very friendly, they know what is at hand!
