Playa del Divorcio
Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur, Mexico
Playa del Divorcio, or Divorce Beach, is the Pacific side of the narrow sand strip at Land's End in Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur, Mexico. Heavy surf and strong currents make it a place to look at, not swim. Its twin on the Sea of Cortez side, Lover's Beach, is the calm one.
Dramatic Pacific surf a few steps from calm water, but swimming here is not safe and most visitors come for photos.
How we score beachesWalk across the sand to the Sea of Cortez side if you want to get in the water. Treat the Pacific side as scenery.
No road access. Water taxis from the marina or Medano Beach stop here along with Lover's Beach.
Arrival is by boat onto soft sand, with no facilities or lifeguards. The Pacific side has a steep shore break.
The Pacific side is rough year round, and swells grow with distant storms. Hurricane season runs roughly June through November.

Soliman Bay
Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico 路 Mexico & Central America
Soliman Bay sits about 20 minutes north of Tulum on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, a quieter alternative to the beach clubs further south, with a coral reef sheltering the mouth of the bay and villas tucked right against the sand. Puffer fish, octopus, and the occasional manta ray turn up in the clear water, and a public access point at the north end of the coast road has kayak rentals and simple seafood.
Playa Xcacel
Xcacel-Xcacelito, Quintana Roo, Mexico 路 Mexico & Central America
Xcacel Beach sits along Mexico's Riviera Maya coast, protected since 1998 as a sea turtle sanctuary where green and loggerhead turtles nest from April through October, releasing more than 200,000 hatchlings most years. A cenote sits just inland from the sand, and the whole stretch has stayed undeveloped specifically because of its protected status.
Chacala
Chacala, Nayarit, Mexico 路 Mexico & Central America
Chacala sits in a small cove on Mexico's Riviera Nayarit, about 90 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta, a nearly mile long beach of soft, pale sand lined with palm trees and palapa restaurants. The town holds around 300 full time residents, though visitor numbers climb sharply during Semana Santa and Christmas, and jungle covered hills rise up on either side of the bay.
