Cabo’s Best Swimmable Beaches and What to Bring

What Should You Bring to the Beach in Cabo?

Some of These Might Surprise You!

Hitting Cabo’s best swimmable beaches is a must, but what should you bring to the beach in Cabo? Here’s a list of some surprising items you may not have thought of according to the Cabo’s Best Swimmable Beaches and What to Bring guide.

1. Sunscreen: The Mexican sunshine is strong for most of the year. It’s quite easy to get burned when you’re swimming or relaxing around the pool. Avoid making the mistake of several tourists who arrive and get second-degree burns from exposure on the first day.

2. Aloe Vera Gel: If you happen to get too much sun, aloe vera gel will be your best friend. It soothes sunburn skin. Make sure you wear sunscreen so you don’t need the aloe vera!

3. Waterproof Shoes / Sandals: Whether you are doing water activities or just hanging out at the beach, waterproof shoes are a must. The sand on the beach is very hot.

4. Bring Your Own Snorkeling Equipment: The hygiene and quality of equipment in Mexico is lower, which means that they may or may not have been thoroughly cleaned after the last person used them. They’re not too expensive to rent, but for your own comfort, it may be better to bring your own.

5. Small Dollar Bills: There are lots of service people that make you feel comfortable on the beach that you may want to tip here and there. It can be difficult to find smaller denominations when you arrive in Mexico, so save them up and bring them with you.

6. Insect Repellent: Los Cabos is full of bugs that come out during the night. Repellents are expensive and in limited supply when you arrive. The best option is to bring some from home.

According to the Cabo’s Best Swimmable Beaches and What to Bring guide, Los Cabos has some of the most beautiful, yet potentially dangerous, beaches around. Knowing which beaches are swimmable and what to bring to those beaches will make your beach visit that much more enjoyable.
