Playa Las Viudas in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

Playa Las Viudas in Cabo San Lucas, BS is for lovers and other people who value their privacy and want to enjoy the beach without the usual touristy hype that usually comes along with popular sand and surf destinations. Located west of the gorgeous Hotel Twin Dolphin, this beach is a treasure that not many people visit.

Most beaches in paradise have vendors that sell food, drink and even rent equipment or sell souvenir type items. At Playa Las Viudas, the vendors usually do not make it to this particular beach, instead heading for the more popular Santa Maria Beach. This means for you as much peace and quiet as you can stand without little interruption. It's the perfect spot in this Cabo San Lucas Mexican paradise to work on your tan, bring a picnic lunch or just cuddle with the one you love and listen to the water lap at the beach.

The tranquility of Playa Las Viudas is the trade-off for not having any venue in which to purchase food, drink or equipment rentals. Therefore, in order to enjoy your time at the beach, you have to be prepared in advance with the gear you think you will need. Be sure to explore the volcanic rock cropping that dot along the beach as well as the tidepools these help create. The crystal blue waters are perfect for a little snorkeling, swimming and diving to explore the pretty reefs just below the surface. Just be sure to explore the waters when they are calm if you are not familiar with the tides here.
