Cannery Beach — Attraction in Baja California Sur

This beach is a 10-15 minute walk from where the cruise ships boat you in. The water is clear and beach itself is clean, but amenities are limited to portable toilets. The only selling you have to endure is for umbrellas as you come in, but it's low pressure. Beware of setting up along the back near the rocks and wall because some people have used that a their personal urinal over time and it is apparent in the air when you're close to them. Closer to the water is great, though. There's not much going on in the water as far as rocks or coral, but there's puffer fish and other species swimming about, which was interesting enough. Right outside the beach on the left as you head back, there is a convenience store and an attached restaurant shack. They are both run by the same family. I highly recommend getting a drink and snack from the store and then having a meal at the restaurant. It was some of the most delicious and authentic Mexican food made by the family matriarch for a great price. Please tip them accordingly. It's a simple, clean, and free beach with clear, relatively calm water. Totally worth the walk and...

Playa el Chutaro is very quiet beach that has been “blue flagged” which means no vendors and parties- great for families or to just snorkel.

This is the best beach anywhere in Cabo if you have kids. The water is always calm and very shallow for the kids and non swimmers. Along the rocks there are always plenty of fish if you like snorkeling or just use goggles. It is safe and clean. Usually occupied by 70% locals and 30% tourists. You usually can find someone there willing to rent you an umbrella for shade. If you get there early they have several Palapa available for free. We always visit this beach when we have friends or family come on our Cabo vacations....
