It's a beach

Simliar to Chileno Beach, Santa Maria is even smaller. Several snorkeling boats visit. Santa Maria Beach also has limited amenities, i.e. no shade or food and beverage. It also can get crowded on the weekends. So be prepared when you go.

Breath taking

Reminds me of some the nice beaches in Portugal in the Algarve. Bring your own water and beverages. There is a washroom before you enter the beach area.

Private beach by far

Longer walk to the beach but well worth it. The day we were there a hurricane was coming so the swells were too high to swim but it was beautiful.

Sailed to this beatuiful Beach

We took a private deluxe sailing for 5 hours and landed on Santa Maria Beach for paddle Boarding and snorkeling. This place was amazing with crystal aqua waters and sanding beach. The colorful fish were stunning! A must to do on your trip.

Amazing

Amazing little beach. Kept very well cleaned. Come early when there are less boats at the bay. No amenities here so bring your own food and drinks and make sure to take all your trash with you.

We got there in the afternoon and there were only a couple of local families and we enjoyed the quiet and the sound of the sea. There were a few boats anchored on the beach and when they left, it was perfect. The beach is...More

Nikzleez

What is the best way to get here to snorkel from San Jose del Cabo? We are open to a tour company, but if it as just as easy/economically advantageous to just take a cab or transportation service that is fine too....but we need a no hassle way to get back too.

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.
