ABOUT CABO SAN LUCAS
If you're looking for quick and easy access to wild nightlife, sport fishing, a wide variety of restaurants, bars, shopping and just plain good old people watching, staying in Cabo San Lucas may be your best bet. In addition to the party atmosphere of downtown Cabo San Lucas you have Medano Beach, which is the safest swimming beach in Cabo. Medano Beach is for more than totally safe swimming, some of the areas most happening clubs and eateries are right here on the sand. Casa Contenta looks down on Medano Bay and its' beaches and is only a 2-minute drive away.
Shore-breaking waves and a powerful undertow make the Pacific extremely dangerous and signs will warn you to "Stay Out, Stay Alive" and they mean it. The Pacific side restricts street and beach vendors from entering the area so getting hassled by the local merchants is not an issue. Please remember that you are in their country and if approached by unwanted vendors, a simple wave off or a "no, gracias" will get them to leave you alone. Being polite and having good manners works everywhere.
Water taxis are easy to find and will gladly shuttle you to snorkeling areas, Lover's Beach or other marina locations for about $10 a ride.
