My favorite slice of heaven in Cabo

Santa Maria beach is a beautiful little bay where you can swim in the Pacific Ocean. Most of the resorts in Cabo are located in areas where swimming is not an option -- and this was a beautiful place to get a full beach experience:...More

Beautiful Cove with great facilities

I was very impressed by the newer parking area, bathrooms, showers and walkway at this beach. We stayed at a hotel on the Pacific side so couldn't swim at our resort. We spent an afternoon at Santa Maria and swam even though the yellow flags...More

Very good beach

We are family of 5. 4 of us say it's a great beach, I agree, however for me it was a little beat too crowdy, too waivy and too expensive compare to other beaches we have visited in Paros.

Water was nice but the sand hurt my feet!

Long walk from parking lot to the beach. Bathroom is located at the parking lot. Sand made my feet hurt when walking on them. Lots of rocks. But water was clear towards the cove end.

This beach was so fun to play at. Easy to catch a bus there from Cabo or San Jose. Just tell the driver “Santa ‘Maria” there is also ample parking if you drive. It’s out of town so taxis are expensive. When you walk to...More

What a beautiful beach. I listened to the others reviews and we loved it. You NEED a sandle on this beach. It is small pebbles so it hurts without shoes. If you go early you can get a palapa for some shade. Bring chairs if...More

What is the best way to get here to snorkel from San Jose del Cabo? We are open to a tour company, but if it as just as easy/economically advantageous to just take a cab or transportation service that is fine too....but we need a no hassle way to get back too.

Easy enough to catch the bus there. Also there are taxis waiting everywhere outside your buildings. tell them to pick you up at a certain time and they will. We have always just rented a car while there.
