Beach Things to Do in Cabo San Lucas

There are many paid activities to enjoy. Be sure to schedule those in advance. However, we also have some things you can do to soak up the sun and just enjoy your time on the beach. Take a look below!

Surfing Lessons

Surfing is fun for all ages. You can learn to surf at any skill level. These lessons vary depending on your skill level. You can take a beginner class to learn to surf or build on existing skills. Just be sure to book your lessons ahead of time so you know you’re covered.

Most surf lessons last anywhere from 60-90 minutes, depending on the package that you choose. The lessons include everything you need. The board, the instructor, and the fun are there. You just need to bring yourself for the surfing party to commence!

During surfing lessons, you are right there on the beach. There are other learners around you as well. You can bring your beach things, spend the whole day at the beach, and devote as much time as you want to surfing after your lesson.

Horseback Riding

Horseback riding tours are a fun way to see the beach while you ride. More than one of our horseback riding tours takes you right along the beach. You really can’t go wrong. The horseback riding packages are designed to meet any skill level.

This is a popular activity, and you don’t have to know how to ride to get to enjoy the beach from a horse. If you book your tour at just the right time of day, you might be able to see spectacular wildlife or the sunset as well.

This makes a fun family or group activity. Ride around and enjoy the beach while you’re at it.

Wave Runner Rentals

If you like to get out on the water and play, you can always rent some wave runners. The wave runner is a jet ski and gives you things to do in Cabo San Lucas on the Medano Beach. Rentals are available in different time frames. You can choose your time – just be sure to book ahead.

Rent a jet ski for as little as 30 minutes or as much an hour. This gives you plenty of time to get out there and get wild on the water! When you’re finished, you can enjoy a picnic on the beach and maybe even snooze a bit in the warm sunshine.

An afternoon nap under your cabana might just be the perfect thing before your next activity for the day!

Parasailing

If you want to see the beach from a different perspective, why not try parasailing? This could be an ideal way to get a little bit of a thrill and see the beauty from above. The boat that goes out on parasailing runs can take 16 people at a time. This gives you the opportunity for a group activity if you want. You also know you won’t be alone, even if you’re heading out without a group.

You can sail up to 600 feet in the air. It’s absolutely breathtaking to see the beach from this angle. You’re floating above the water. The activity time is anywhere from 60-90 minutes from take-off to return.

Your parasailing time estimate is about 10 minutes in the air. The number of guests in the group might affect the overall timeframes.

Be sure to book this ahead of time, as spots do tend to fill up quickly.

ATV Tours

ATV tours will take you to a variety of different places. However, some of the tours are designed to give you the best of the beach. A sweet sunset tour glides along the beach right at sunset. This is an activity that gives you yet another view of the beach.

While it’s not necessarily spending the day on the beach, you can enjoy many sights and adventures along the way. It’s an exciting way to get some time on the beach without sitting idle. You can always spend additional time at the beach with a relaxing day while you’re there.
