The beach clubs in Los Cabos split across two ends of a peninsula. Cabo San Lucas throws the party on Playa El Medano, the area's main swimmable beach, while San Jose del Cabo keeps it quiet on the coves to the east. Fifteen clubs sit between them, from walk-up cheap to a $140 sunbed.
Most run on a minimum-spend model, not a flat sunbed fee. You pay a cover or reserve a bed, then spend it back on food and drink. Budget spots like Mango Deck and Billygan's are walk-up cheap, and Grupo RosaNegra's Taboo, Tamara and Funky Geisha at the ME Cabo hotel sit at the top, around $100 to $150 a bed.
Locals call these places clubes de playa. The big cluster is on Medano in Cabo San Lucas, with a couple more along the resort Corridor and out at San Jose del Cabo. High season runs November to May, and spring break is the peak. For more of the coast, see our guide to Mexico or the Pacific sands of Puerto Vallarta.

Which is the best beach club in Cabo San Lucas?
It depends on the day you want. For a dressy, high-end lounge, Taboo Beach Club and Tamara Beach Club at the ME Cabo hotel are the top pick. For a loud, cheap party, Mango Deck has been the Medano fixture since 1998.
Families tend to head for Corazon Beach Club, the largest on Medano and on one of the better swimmable stretches. If you want stylish without the party, SUR Beach House at the Bahia Hotel is the calmer bet.
Can you swim at the beach clubs in Los Cabos?
At some, yes. Playa El Medano in Cabo San Lucas is the area's main swimmable beach, so clubs like Corazon Beach Club and SUR Beach House sit on water you can actually get into.
Much of the rest of the coast has strong surf and undertow, so plenty of beaches are for lounging only. The calm coves at Enclave Beach Club on the Corridor and Ganzo de Playa in San Jose del Cabo are among the safer places to swim.
Taboo Beach Club
Taboo Beach Club is Grupo RosaNegra's flagship, on the sand at the adults-only ME Cabo hotel. It's one of the priciest spots on Medano, with an upscale boho look and a dressy crowd.
The day runs on a prepaid cover that credits fully to food and drink, so a sunbed is really a minimum-spend commitment. Expect wooden daybeds, rustic cabanas, a resident DJ and full restaurant and bar service on the sand.
A single sunbed runs about MXN 2,500, roughly $140 spent back on food and drink. Book and pay ahead for weekends and high season. $$$ pricing.

Tamara Beach Club
Tamara Beach Club is the calmer sister to Taboo, also at the adults-only ME Cabo on Medano. The styling is rustic-boho luxury, and it's a favourite for beach weddings and bachelorette groups.
It's open daily 11am to 7pm, with fresh seafood, premium cocktails and live DJ sets. Several beds and tables look across the water to the Arch.
Pricing follows the same food-and-drink credit model, around $100 or more per person as minimum spend. Reserve ahead in high season. $$$ pricing.
Funky Geisha
Funky Geisha is the Asian-cuisine beach club at the ME Cabo, the third RosaNegra venue on that stretch of Medano. It leans zen and adults-only, with sushi and cocktails by the Sea of Cortez.
Daybeds sit on the sand alongside low tables and a resident DJ. The kitchen runs Thai and Japanese dishes, with vegan and gluten-free options, and there's valet parking.
Hours run 11am to midnight, so it carries on later than most of its neighbours. It works on the same minimum-spend model. $$ pricing.
Bagatelle Los Cabos
Bagatelle Los Cabos is a French-Mediterranean beach club and party-restaurant on the Medano sand. It's relaxed coastal lounging by day, then live music and a dinner show at night.
The Thursday 80s party and a Sunday brunch are the fixtures people book around. There's no set cover, but you're expected to eat and drink.
It runs on reservations and minimum spend, and sits at the glossier end of the beach. Book through the website or by phone for weekends. $$$ pricing.
Corazon Beach Club
Corazon Beach Club is the beach club of Corazon Cabo Resort & Spa, formerly Cachet. It's the largest on Medano, and it sits on one of Cabo's better swimmable stretches, which makes it a family go-to.
A day pass gets you private cabanas, a resident DJ and access to the beach and pool. The fee converts fully to food and drink credit, and dinner at the on-site Aleta comes with a 20% discount. Locals rate the creative sushi.
The pass is about MXN 800 with matching MXN 800 credit, roughly $47 to $60 spent back, and kids 6 to 12 are half that. It's easily the most family-friendly club on the beach. $$ pricing.
SUR Beach House
SUR Beach House is the beach club at Bahia Hotel & Beach House, on a lively, swimmable part of Medano. It's design-led and relaxed, the stylish option rather than the party one.
Service runs all day, from breakfast through to sunset, with local seafood and Baja flavours. Non-hotel guests can use it too, subject to availability.
Reservations go through OpenTable, with a minimum spend at peak times. It's the pick if you want good food on the sand without the DJ volume. $$ pricing.
Breathless Beach Club
Breathless Beach Club is the beach and pool club at the adults-only, all-inclusive Breathless resort, on Medano by the marina. It's energetic, with two pools, swim-up bars and a rooftop lounge.
The day pass runs 9am to 5pm and covers unlimited drinks, a breakfast and lunch buffet, poolside service, a live DJ and beach access. Private daybeds are available.
Book through the resort or ResortPass. It's a strong option if you want one price to cover the whole day. $$ pricing.
Mango Deck
Mango Deck is the most iconic party beach club on Medano, running since 1998. It's loud and fun, with beach contests, a non-stop stage show and views across to the Arch.
The draw is the all-day 2-for-1 happy hour and the spring-break energy. It's cheap and rowdy compared with the ME Cabo clubs, and it's open 7am to 11pm.
A sunbed is about $25, and VIP tables and cabanas start from around $59 as a deposit per bottle. Reserve a table for weekends. $ pricing.

Billygan's Island Restaurant & Beach Club is a long-running casual spot in the middle of Medano, open 7am to 10pm. It's one of the budget picks, with a 12-hour happy hour and live bands.
Lounges sit right on the sand, and the kitchen runs Mexican food, seafood and bar staples. You can rent a wave runner or book a parasail straight from your table.
It's walk-up and low-cost, closer in feel to Mango Deck than the RosaNegra clubs. Reservations run through OpenTable, and it keeps no standalone website beyond listings. $ pricing.
The Office on the Beach
The Office on the Beach has been a Medano institution since the 1970s. It's more a beachfront restaurant than a sunbed club, but it's a core part of the beach scene.
Tables and umbrellas spread across the sand, with full service from breakfast to dinner and live music every night. The Thursday Gran Fiesta Mexicana is a fixture.
There's no set sunbed rental here, so it's table-service rather than a daybed day. Book ahead for the festive nights. $$ pricing.
Hacienda Beach Club & Residences
Hacienda Beach Club & Residences sits on a quiet, private stretch of Medano by the marina. It's polished and family-friendly, with two pools, a spa and a supervised kids' club.
Local round-ups name it as a beach club, and the beachfront and views of the Arch are a big part of the appeal.
Its beach product is geared to residences and hotel guests, so open day access isn't clearly published. If you're not staying, call ahead to check what's available. $$$ pricing.
The rest of the scene spreads east. One club sits along the resort Corridor between the two towns, on a calm cove that's rare for this coast.
Enclave Beach Club
Enclave Beach Club is the beach club at Hilton Los Cabos, on Tequila Cove, one of the Corridor's few swimmable beaches. It's a polished resort club, calm and suited to couples and families.
Loungers and shaded umbrellas run along the sand, with a waterfront bar serving a raw bar and grill. Cabanas are the upgrade, and the cove is genuinely safe for a swim.
Cabana rentals run about $90 to $250, and day passes and pool access are bookable through the resort or ResortPass. $$ pricing.
Out at the eastern end, San Jose del Cabo trades the party for calm coves. Three more clubs sit here, quieter and more swimmable than anything on Medano.
Ganzo de Playa
Ganzo de Playa is Hotel El Ganzo's beach club on a calm, swimmable cove at La Playita in San Jose del Cabo. It's laid-back and creative, a world away from the Cabo San Lucas clubs.
Open-air dining sits steps from the water, with DJ sets, live music and outdoor movie nights on the jetty. It's pet-friendly, too.
Day-pass visitors are welcome, and it works on reservations. Come here for the quieter, arty end of the Los Cabos beach scene. $$ pricing.
Veleros Beach Club
Veleros Beach Club is an oceanfront restaurant and beach club on La Playa in San Jose del Cabo, on one of the area's few swimmable beaches. It opened around 2024 and stays quieter than the Medano scene.
It combines a beachfront restaurant, a bar and an ambient beach club, with a regular music and events program. The setting is relaxed and music-led.
Reservations run through OpenTable, with a minimum spend at peak times. It's a good pick if you want swimmable water on the San Jose side. $$ pricing.
OMNIA Dayclub Los Cabos
OMNIA Dayclub Los Cabos is a luxury pool day club at Vidanta Los Cabos, part of the Hakkasan Group scene. It's a day-club rather than a sand beach club, but it's the marquee daytime party in the area.
Multiple pool levels look out over the Pacific, with private cabanas and two-story VIP bungalows that have their own plunge pools. The draw is the all-star DJ lineup.
Tables and cabanas are booked ahead, and entry and minimum spend vary by event. Check the schedule before you plan a day around a headliner. $$$ pricing.
