Don’t miss the chance to visit the Cannery Beaches during your vacation in Cabo San Lucas
Cabo San Lucas has many beautiful beaches of Baja California Sur, some of which have become geographic icons of Mexico, the ones you’ve already heard of: Lover’s Beach and Medano Beach, but you can’t leave Los Cabos without visiting the Cannery Beaches, one of the greatest places to enjoy the sun and swim in their clean water.
Travelling to Baja California Sur? Experience Cannery Beach (Playa coral negro), Hidden Beach, and El Balcón Beach in a private catamaran
The Cannery Beaches are collectively referred to as the three beaches located near the Cabo San Lucas Marina entrance:
- Playa Balcón / Balconcito Beach
- Playa Coral Negro. This beach is also known as Cannery Beach, Locals Beach, or Playa Empacadora
- Playa Escondida / Hidden Beach

These beaches sit side by side, separated by mere steps, and visitors often explore two neighboring beaches in one outing: making the area a favorite for locals and travelers alike.
The Cannery Beaches are the best in Cabo for swimming because of their location on the Sea of Cortez side of the peninsula.
Playa Coral Negro and El Balcón Beach are the central focus of the Cannery Beaches and a must-visit during your stay in Cabo San Lucas. With a sandy shore and calm water, these are great beaches if you want to swim or practice snorkeling and paddleboarding. Visitors also enjoy sunbathing and playing games on the sand.
Balconcito beach is accessible only by boat, so it is considered a semi-private beach. It is a great spot to enjoy the beauty of the Sea of Cortez and swim among colorful fish. Same with Hidden Beach.
