Is the beach swimmable at the RIU Baja California in Los Cabos?
Yes! RIU Baja California sits right on Playa El Médano, which is one of the few fully swimmable beaches in Cabo San Lucas. The water here is calmer than on the Pacific side, so guests can safely swim, float, paddleboard, or simply cool off in the shoreline waves. Keep in mind that ocean conditions can change with wind or surf, but as a whole this is one of the best and safest spots in Cabo for swimming.

RIU's Location & Vibe
Set along Medano Beach, the resort gives guests direct access to calm water where swimming and water activities are safe year round. You can walk the beach to nearby bars, rent jet skis, or take a quick taxi to the marina for boat tours and nightlife. RIU Baja California sits next to RIU Palace and RIU Santa Fe, creating a huge shared area of restaurants, pools, and entertainment that gives the property a lively, social personality day and night.
If you’ve booked a shared shuttle, your rep will check you in and group you with others heading in the same direction. These shuttles typically make 2–3 stops along the route but are designed to be quick and efficient. They’re a great choice for solo travelers or budget-conscious guests who want to save money while still riding comfortably.
