Playa Médano
- Address: Paseo del Pescador, Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur
- Category: Beaches
- Location: Cabo San Lucas
Fodor's Review:
Foamy plumes of water shoot from Jet Skis and WaveRunners buzzing through the water off Médano, a 3-km (2-mi) span of grainy tan sand that's always crowded. When cruise ships are in town it's mobbed. Bars and restaurants line the sand, waiters deliver ice buckets filled with beers to sunbathers in lounge chairs, and vendors offer everything from fake silver jewelry to henna tattoos. You can even have your hair braided into tiny cornrows or get a pedicure. Swimming areas are roped off to prevent accidents, and the water is calm enough for toddlers. Several hotels line Médano, which is just north of downtown off Paseo del Pescador. Construction is constant on nearby streets, and parking is virtually impossible. The most popular area is around several bar-restaurants, where beach chairs and tables are set up. This is a hot spot for people-watching (and for singles seeking to be doubles). Be prepared to deal with the many crafts vendors cruising the beach. They're generally not pushy, so a simple head shake will do.
