Cabo san Lucas is an absolute tourist trap. The experience was mostly stressful as we tried to keep away from all the people who tried to sell us boat trips, jewelry etc.
We paid $20 US per person for return trip to so called Lovers Beach. The captain of the boat then tried to confuse us and make us pay him again another fee. Terrible experience all around.

It was a good experience visiting playa del amor (love’s beach) but it is only good for a couple hours at most and for taking some pictures, there is really not much to do there i could call it a short and sweet experience

Jonathan was absolutely fantastic. He scheduled all our accommodations. When we arrived he had a daily agenda ready for us. Jonathan and his team were friendly and professional. We had a wonderful time on our trip thanks to him!!

Was skeptical of going here, since it is considered a 'must-do' while in Cabo.

Well, it was worth it. The scenery is beautiful, and despite being busy, we found some shade along the rocks.

Surprisingly we spent about 3 hours here. And you can see Divorce Beach at the same time.

Beach is not relaxing, per se, as it's small, with a lot of boat activity - water taxis dropping off and picking up people.

Did not like the 'scam' aspect of someone 'helping' you get off the water taxi (you have to jump off the boat into the water, as there is no dock), and then expects payment for 'helping' you.

Was also a bit alarming to see some kids with jelly fish stings.

If you are in Cabo during whale watching season, you can incorporate the whale watching with the beach trip. This will cost you less than booking them a separate excursions.

We took a water taxi to visit the Lovers & Divorce beach. I was intrigued that it provides a bridge btw the 2 seas/oceans.
The rocks on the beach are stunning, really unique rock formations - amazing for pictures ! We have not gone swimming at this destination (being short on time) but absolutely enjoyed the unique beach.
Go in the morning if you can - you will be able to enjoy the beach without the crowds.

It was beautiful but it was so crowded that there were more people than beach. Also, like other places in Cabo, you can't swim in the ocean because of riptides.

As beaches go its not spectacular by any stretch but it is quite nice.

The best part is the fact just through the gap in the mountain is Divorce Beach.

Beautiful beach. Lovely setting. Clean. Really is a nice place. Not sure about relaxing as it can get busy with the boats.

Beautiful beach but beware. If you have any physical ailments, I would recommend not going. Getting in the boat is very hazardous.

Loved this beach and such fun to ride over in the small taxi boat:) We liked the lovers beach side that is calm and the rougher divorce beach on the other side.
