Our lovely condo was on this beach because swimmable beach hotels and condos were out of our price range. The awesome restaurant I reviewed, Mama Mia, is also on this beach. The sand was very fine, so that part doesn't make it hurt to walk on. But for whatever reason, it was somehow harder to walk on this beach versus other beaches, both on the dry and even the wet sand. I really felt my calves working in ways the other beaches didn't make me work lol. I'd normally remove 2 stars for the difficulty walking, and inabilty to swim here, but I'm just removing 1 because it's mother Nature after all!

There are some magnificent rock structures and villas scattered along the shoreline which make excellent photo opps. It's not very swimmable, except for a few brave souls I noticed getting beat up in the waves. But it is a nice beach just to walk on, especially at sunrise or sunset.

When I thought about beautiful beaches and Cabo and peaceful places to just hang out and chill and enjoy the water, Playa Santa Maria satisfied all those requirements and I can't wait to go back to this place. When you get there, it seems like almost like a resort or if you experience going to a really nice golf resort in the United States. During the weekday we were here and there was plenty of parking and we bought mangoes in the parking lot, which were really good. He did a excellent job cutting and prepping it out for us. You take the walk back and then you see the ocean and the beach and I was just in awe of how beautiful it was. This is pretty close to paradise. It was a big contrast from the Bajia Beach House we were at for the past couple of days where there are a lot of tourists, loud music, vendors, and just noise in general. This place is so serene and quiet and calm and yes, it is connected to a resort, but it was not overcrowded, no loud music, you could see a lot of the locals were here, and the beach area to swim was very large and vast. If I lived in Cabo, I would probably come here every weekend. The only downer was the sand consisted of very small pebbles so if your feet are sensitive, then I highly suggest water shoes or sandals - which I'm so glad I brought. I am so glad I got to experience this place, thanks to our local friend and temporary tour guide. If you're in Cabo looking for some nice peace and relaxation and a beautiful scene, you definitely need to come here.

In June, the water temperature was around 85° or so.

The beach is pretty well maintained, with a pretty big parking lot and restrooms/locker rooms are near the entrance to the beach.

There are places in the world you should see... and then there are places you have to experience…read more One of those is Lover's Beach. Tucked right beside the famous El Arco de Cabo San Lucas, this little stretch of sand sits where the Pacific Ocean shakes hands with the Gulf of California. Boats can't always nose right up to shore, so sometimes they anchor out and well congratulations, you're swimming the rest of the way. Not exactly the plan when you're holding a drink and thinking about tacos. But there I was, staring at that water thinking, alright... here we go. First step in refreshing. Second step whoa, that's colder than advertised. But once you're in, you're in, and suddenly the whole thing turns into the kind of travel story you remember forever. And that's Cabo in a nutshell. Music drifting through the air, drinks flowing, tacos somewhere nearby, somebody laughing so hard the whole beach joins in. My wife was cracking up, people were singing, and the day just kept rolling like a perfect Baja postcard. Lovers Beach itself is only reachable by boat, which somehow makes it feel like a little secret tucked against those golden rock formations. You look around and think, yeah... this is the good stuff. So if you make it to Cabo, don't just look at it from the boat jump in, swim if you have to, and make the memory. Trust me... that's the story you'll still be telling later.

I hesitate to review this beach and draw attention to it (for selfish reasons.)…read more Santa Maria Beach is beautiful! Snorkeling is good, swimming nice and the views gorgeous. It's best visited early or later in the day - before tourista boats arrive or after they depart. Easy to find this beach off the highway, just stay away when I'm in town - please?! Just kidding... Sizeable parking lot, restrooms and a policia presence - I appreciate the effort made to keep cars from being broken into. There are a few vendors on the beach offering the typical items (I bought a few blankets off one guy) and "renting" beach umbrellas - a must if you stay all day! My first visit a few years ago was delightful - prior to the completion of the Montage. It's still nice, but the arrival of the Montage has placed more people on/overlooking the beach (it's not as quaint as it once was...) Nonetheless, SM Beach is awesome! 5 stars
