Marea at Montage Los Cabos

Marea is the beachfront restaurant at Montage Los Cabos, set right on the sand along the protected, swimmable crescent of Santa María Bay in the Tourist Corridor. Under chef Eric Arellano, the kitchen works an all-day, Mediterranean-inspired menu built around the Baja Peninsula's finest fresh seafood — bright, sun-led cooking that moves with the day. It runs as two experiences under one roof: Marea by Day, a relaxed, toes-in-the-sand spot for salads, tacos, ceviche and cocktails, and Marea by Night, a more composed dinner of prime aged cuts and fresh seafood as the bay turns dark. The seafood is the throughline: oysters and ceviche, whole grilled fish and shellfish towers, plus a raw bar that leans on the day's catch from local waters and a kitchen that keeps the cooking clean and ingredient-led.

The setting is pure beachfront. Tables sit on an open-air terrace just above the sand, framed by the curve of Santa María Bay and the Sea of Cortez beyond, with a breeze off the water and the rocks of the corridor in the distance. By day it is bright and easy — swimwear-friendly, made for families and long lunches; by night it softens into candlelight and a slower, seafood-forward menu. As a sibling to the resort's Mezcal restaurant, Marea pairs Montage's polish with one of the most natural beach settings on the corridor. Couples settle in for sunset, and the terrace tables along the rail are the ones to request. A long list of cocktails, Baja wines and agave spirits matches the menu, and the room stays relaxed enough for lunch in swimwear yet polished enough for an occasion dinner.

Why Marea Stands Out

Beachfront on Santa María Bay — open-air tables just above the sand on one of the corridor's calmest, most swimmable bays.

Day-to-night dining — relaxed salads, tacos and ceviche by day; prime aged cuts and fresh seafood by night.

Baja seafood, Mediterranean hand — chef Eric Arellano's all-day menu built on the peninsula's freshest catch.
