Cabo San Lucas Beach for February
Playa Barco Verado
Translating to "Shipwreck Beach", Playa Barco Verado got its name from a Japanese tuna boat that sank off its shores in the 1960s. It's a popular spot for diving and snorkelling even though none of the sunken ship remains. While the waves can get rough, the water is safe for swimming. Go at low tide to walk the wide beach and view marine life in tide pools.
Playa Santa Maria
Santa María Beach is part of a marine sanctuary and so a great spot for snorkelling and swimming in waters that have an abundance of marine life. A protected bay also creates calm waters for swimming. You'll want to bring a camera as the pink sands and horseshoe-shaped terrain makes the beach picture perfect. While there are a few vendors, you won't find many food options so best you also bring something to snack on.
Bars and Restaurants
