Discover Love Beach in Los Cabos. A unique experience to learn about its history and significance.
Love Beach is only accessible by boat. You can take a water taxi from the Cabo San Lucas Marina, or join a boat tour that takes you there directly. It does not have fixed opening or closing hours, since it is a natural beach, but most boats operate from 8:00 AM until sunset. I recommend checking with local operators for exact schedules.
Love Beach itself does not have an entrance fee; it is a public beach. However, you will need to pay for boat transportation to get there. Water taxi or tour prices vary, but they usually range from 10 to 20 USD per person, round trip. Some tours include additional stops such as the Arch of Cabo San Lucas.
To fully enjoy Love Beach, it is recommended to spend between 1 and 2 hours there. This gives you enough time to swim, sunbathe, explore the surroundings, and admire the rock formations. If you combine the visit with a tour to the Arch, the total time may be longer.
Love Beach owes its name to its unique location between two giant rock formations that seem to embrace each other, creating the illusion of a kiss. It is also believed that its seclusion and natural beauty made it a popular spot for couples in the past. It is located next to Divorce Beach on the Pacific side, creating an interesting geographic contrast.
The best time of year to visit is during the dry season, from November to May, when the weather is more pleasant. As for the time of day, I recommend going early in the morning (before 10 AM) to avoid the crowds and enjoy a calmer atmosphere and excellent lighting conditions for photography. Sunsets are also spectacular, although usually more crowded.
Unfortunately, Love Beach is not easily accessible for people with reduced mobility. To get there, you need to get off the boat onto the shoreline, which may involve jumping or walking on unstable sand. There are no ramps or wheelchair-accessible facilities. It is important to keep this in mind when planning your visit.
Around Love Beach, you should not miss the iconic Arch of Cabo San Lucas, one of the most photographed symbols of the region. You can also visit Divorce Beach, just a few meters from Love Beach, known for its strong currents. Many boat excursions combine these three stops. The Cabo San Lucas Marina, where the boats depart from, offers restaurants and shops.
Of course! I recommend bringing sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and plenty of water, since there are no services on the beach. If you plan to swim, bring your swimsuit. Consider taking a waterproof camera to capture the underwater beauty. Negotiate the boat transportation price before boarding and ask whether it includes a life jacket.
