Beach: The beach area closest to Los Patios is the Medano beach, one of the best in all of Los Cabos, and is perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and all water sports. Also enjoy sunbathing, strolling along the beach, jogging, brilliant sunsets, and soft starry nights. All Los Cabos beaches are open to the public. Some have great surfing; others are relatively calm. All beaches on the Pacific shore, such as Playa Solmar, Playa del Amor and even the Pacific side of Land's End are not safe for swimming or snorkeling, due to the swift ocean currents, large waves, and undertows; however, there are many wonderful beaches along the shores of the Sea of Cortez that are good for swimming and snorkeling, such as Playa Bledito, Playa Medano, and Playa Palmilla in Cabo San Lucas, all of which have very safe swimming conditions.
Pools: The resort has a large pool with cascading waterfalls spilling over the pools outer rock edge. Complimentary lounge chairs, sun umbrellas, and towels are provided all throughout the pool area. There is also a giant Jacuzzi at the head of the pool.
Golf: Los Cabos and Golf are inseparable friends, and it's evident in Los Cabos. There are several championship golf courses in the region. A few examples: The Cabo Del Sol ocean course, designed by Jack Nicklaus and ranked in Golf Magazine as one of the top courses of the world. Cabo Del Sol features challenging oceanfront holes, and offers sweeping views of the desert hills and Sea of Cortez; The Robert Trent Jones-designed Cabo Real course; the Jack Nicklaus-designed El Dorado Golf Club; and the Tom Weiskopf-designed eighteen-hole Desert Course at Cabo del Sol. The magnificent terrain is comparable to that found in Arizona and California desert golf courses. Los Cabos is especially beautiful due to the presence of the Sea of Cortez, a stretch of indescribable blue water bordering many of the courses. And with 350 days of the year having clear skies, there is a lot of excellent weather for golfing.
Water Sports: Enjoy sailing and boating, windsurfing, kayaking, beach volleyball, and body boarding during select places along the beach. Also available are many motorized water sports, including parasailing, wave runners, and jet skiing. The best snorkeling can be found at these beaches: Santa Maria, Chileno, Roca Pelicano, Costa Azul, Playa Palmilla, and Cabo Pulmo. Surfing is good at Costa Azul or Zipper Beach, and at Cabo Bello. Los Patios is next door to the marina at Cabo San Lucas where you can secure watercraft for all types of outings and tours.
