This is a great place to snorkel~it's calmer than Chileano Bay. Take tortillas in a ziplock bag to chum the wide variety of fish. We saw lots of dorado, sergeant-at-arms, urchins, an eel and pufferfish. Go in the morning as it gets choppier in the afternoon. If you're driving, take snacks and drinks as concessions are very limited.

Fun!!!!

I love this beached as I haved visited it over the last few years. Never disappoints me. If youre bored go climb the hill on the side and youll get a great view of the whole sourrounding area.
I booked this trip through the cruise line. I had done this trip one time before and this is defiantly more bang for your buck. the crew on the catamaran is awesome and after snorkeling it is all you can eat and "DRINK" on the way back to town. The one thing I did notice it has been 6 years since I snorkeled this cove and the sealife ...
The beach was absolutely gorgeous and one of the few that is swimmable in Cabo. The snorkeling was amazing! Saw so many brightly colored fish! It was the highlight of my trip to Cabo!

It is quite a walk from the "parking area" and the pebble like sand makes walking interesting...keep sandals on, they fill up--take them off and the pebbles wear your feet till they are sore! Once you finally do get to your spot on the beach, it is ...
Santa Maria is a great [lace to hung out with your family. The beach is not crowded, it is clean and the waves is great. Place is great for snorkeling.
I read about this beach while on our cruise ship. We only had 6-8 hours in the port of cabo, but I was determined to see this beach. We rented three mopeds in town and thought we would take a ride over the this beautiful Bahia Santa Maria. People kept looking at us crazily when I asked them how to get to this beach. (I do speak spanish) I ...
I love this place because is a nice little cove with a beautifull scenery and crystal clear water. The water was calm, whereas in other beaches there were big waves because of a recent tropical storm that came close to Los Cabos. Great for snorkeling, you can avoid spending 35USD for the tour by going there (do not rent googles and fins at the ...

be extremely cautious

i was there for ten minutes only. time enough for a huge wave to come and roll me over the rocks. feet, knees, hips, torso, and head injuried severely, bleeding copiously, pain. i didn't notice any warning advice, any red flag waving, nothing. everything look so paceful. Please, make the authorities put warning flags and advices to inocent ...
