Buzzy, sociable and full of action, right beside downtown; the base for travellers who want a proper swimmable beach with a party atmosphere, beach clubs and water sports on the doorstep. Cabo's beach at its most fun. Lively and beautiful.

- 2.Medano Beach & the beach clubs — The heart of Cabo's beach fun — Medano, the main golden-sand beach curving along the calm, swimmable bay, backed by a lively strip of beach clubs, bars and restaurants and looking straight across to the Arch. It's the place to spend a sun-soaked day: swim in the sheltered water, claim a lounger at a beach club with a margarita, watch the parasailers and jet-skis, and party on into sunset as the DJs fire up. Busy and boisterous rather than tranquil, it's Cabo's sociable beach at its best. A fun, quintessential beach day. Lively and gorgeous. Expect vendors and a party vibe.
- 14.Water sports at Medano — Medano Beach is Cabo's watersports playground, and there's a thrill for everyone — parasail high above the bay for a bird's-eye view of the Arch, blast around on a jet-ski, get launched skyward on a flyboard, paddle a kayak or stand-up paddleboard on the calm water, or take a banana-boat ride. Operators line the sand, so you can pick your adventure on the spot, and the sheltered bay makes it all easy and fun. Combine a session with a beach-club day for the full Medano experience. A fun, active, only-on-holiday highlight. Exhilarating. Agree the price and duration before you start.
