Medano Beach is the swimmable heart of Cabo San Lucas, lined with beach clubs where a lounger, lunch and a cocktail can easily become a whole afternoon. Rooftops take over at sunset.
Many beach clubs work on a minimum spend for loungers and daybeds. Ask what is included, reserve daybeds in high season, and check whether music and DJs run into the evening.
