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.

Be aware of the vendors as you get off!! My husband and I took a water taxi and the man in the taxi was very kind. As we hopped onto the beach a man right away helped us off the boat and took us to his stand offering cold beers and drinks. He said this is for all tourists here. We had no cash on us because we left everything at our resort to avoid being pit pocketed. We declined the Drinks at first and then we decided to just have one beer for the sake of a picture on the beach holding a cold one. My husband went and the guy gave it to him and said enjoy and my husband left with the beer. As we were leaving the island getting back on the boat, the vendor ran up to my husband as soon as he saw him and said “you gonna pay?.” We were confused!! He didnt mention how much or the fact that it wasn’t free? He made it seem like it was included with the boat tour! He even let my husband completely walk away to the other side of the island without paying. He then proceeded to tell my husband to pay and my husband told him he has no cash. Then the man told him to make me, the wife, DANCE for him and his friends!! When my husband denied all of this he started calling him all kinds of names. We got off that beach asap. He went nuts. It left a bad taste in our mouths.

Worth the few bucks to take a water taxi out to the Arches for some walking about and snorkeling. Just be careful to swim only on the inside and not in the open ocean. It's a beautiful and isolated walk about and great for photos. You can walk down and around the Arches and take in the resorts there too.
