    Most beautiful beach!

    Very beautiful beach, small amount of vendors, not very annoying. Just a short uber ride from town. Would definitely go to this beach again. No restaurants or bars, so you have to pack drinks and food if you desire.

    Stunning Beach

    Was out favorite beach during our time in Cabo. Beautiful water. Not too crowded. Public restrooms. A few people were selling goods but were very friendly and non-intrusive.

    Easy enough to catch the bus there. Also there are taxis waiting everywhere outside your buildings. tell them to pick you up at a certain time and they will. We have always just rented a car while there.
