About Acapulquito Beach
Acapulquito Beach sits in the Costa Azul area near San Jose del Cabo and is one of the destination's most approachable surf spots. Its long, rolling right-hand wave is beginner-friendly while also appealing to longboarders and more experienced surfers.
The beachfront is easy to access, its water is generally inviting, and the beach appears in the destination's 2026 Blue Flag guide. Conditions still vary, so beginners should use instruction and every visitor should follow posted daily flags before entering.
