The title of the “Most Beautiful Beach of Love” divides opinions among those who have visited the one in Riviera Nayarit, known for its natural formation in the Marietas Islands, and the one in Cabo San Lucas, famous for its location next to the iconic Stone Arch. Both are tourist references in Mexico and attract thousands of national and foreign visitors annually.
On social media, users have described the beach in Riviera Nayarit as “a hidden paradise,” highlighting its limited access that involves swimming through a water tunnel, which adds a touch of adventure. One visitor on Tripadvisor described the experience as “unique and unforgettable,” highlighting the serenity of the place.
However, some mention that the restricted capacity can be an inconvenience, since access depends on permits issued by the National Commission of Protected Natural Areas (CONANP).
For its part, the beach of love in Cabo San Lucas is praised for its contrast between the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez, which creates a majestic landscape.
“It’s the perfect place to see the union of two worlds,” commented one user on Instagram.
In addition, its easy access by boat from the Cabo San Lucas Marina makes it more inclusive for tourists of all ages. However, some critics point out that it can be saturated in high seasons, taking away from its charm.
Recent reports from the Ministry of Tourism highlight that both beaches contribute significantly to local tourism. Riviera Nayarit attracts mainly those seeking ecotourism and contact with nature, while Cabo San Lucas is positioned as a more glamorous destination with complementary activities such as diving and whale watching.
The comparison, according to tourists, comes down to personal preferences: adventure and exclusivity in Nayarit versus comfort and iconic landscapes in Cabo San Lucas. The truth is that, regardless of the destination, both beaches offer memorable experiences and reinforce Mexico’s appeal as a world tourist power.
