About
About Chileno Beach
Chileno Beach is a Blue Flag bay on the Tourist Corridor known for calm water and easy shore access for swimming and snorkeling. Parking lots, showers, trash stations, portable toilets, and a lifeguard stand make it one of the most practical public beach stops in Los Cabos.
The reef and clear water are a major draw, while weekends can be busier than weekdays. Arrive earlier for parking and shade, protect the reef, and check the posted daily flag even though the bay is generally calmer.
