Don't miss the chance to visit the Cannery Beaches during your vacation in Cabo San Lucas

Cabo San Lucas has some of the most beautiful beaches of Baja California Sur, some of which have become icons of Mexico like Lover’s beach and Medano beach, but you can’t leave Los Cabos without visiting the Cannery Beaches, one of the greatest places to enjoy the sun and swim in their clean water.

The Cannery beaches are 3 beaches located near the Cabo San Lucas Marina entrance:

  • Playa Balcón / Balconcito Beach
  • Playa Coral Negro. This beach is also known as Cannery Beach, Locals Beach, or Playa Empacadora
  • Playa Escondida / Hidden Beach

The most popular one is Playa Coral Negro, aka Cannery beach. This name has great historical importance because it was given by the locals after an old tuna cannery that was located in the area many years ago and used to be the leading commercial activity of Cabo.

Experience Cannery beach (Playa coral negro), hidden beach and el balcón beach in a private catamaran

The three cannery beaches are Playa Coral Negro, El balcón, and Hidden beach. “El balcón” is also known as balconcito beach. The cannery beaches are the best beaches in Cabo for swimming because of their location on the Sea of Cortez side of the peninsula.

Playa Coral Negro and el balcón beach are the most popular of the cannery beaches and a must-visit during your stay in Cabo San Lucas. With a sandy shore and calm water, these are great beaches if you want to swim or practice snorkeling and paddleboard. Visitors also enjoy sunbathing and playing games on the sand.

Balconcito beach is accessible only by boat, so it is considered a semi-private beach, it is a great point to enjoy the beauty of the Sea of Cortez and swim among colorful fish. Same with Hidden Beach.

Our private sailing tours are the best way to visit the cannery beaches and all the amazing landmarks of Los Cabos without the crowds and on a fully adaptable experience.

We had so much fun. Lorena, Jimmy, Sophia, and captain Tony were the boom chaca laca. They were so attentive.

We went out on a voyage of 15 peeps. We were celebrating a high school graduation. We brought our own liquor and Lorena and Jimmy made drinks for us the entire time. Sophia took tons of pics and captain even let me sit in the captain’s chair for some cool pics.

The staff on this boat makes me want to come back to Cabo annually. This was a great tour.

We decided at the last minute that we wanted alcohol and they took us to a place where we could make that happen. Buy the per person alcohol or bring your own. They accommodated us for everything. The Tacos and guacamole were delicious. We will visit Cabo again just to do a boat cruise with them. So. Much. Fun.

They let us dock the boat and explore for over an hour. We saw sea lions in the distance, saw some pretty fish while snorkeling, and got some great pics. The water mat was awesome for chilling and watching the amazing scenery. This was a true highlight of our visit to Cabo.

Thanks so much to this awesome crew. Y’all rock!

We booked this trip to Cabo for Christmas Eve for a surprise for our boys, ages 11 & 13. We loved the idea of having our own boat, snorkeling and seeing the area from the water.

We hoped we’d get lucky and see a whale or two, boy were we wrong. As we were cruising around the bay our eagle eyed guides spotted a couple of whales and then a couple more, soon we were cruising around with whales popping up all around us.

The boys were thrilled, it was amazing. Javi and Lorena were excellent guides, very knowledgable about the whales, we learned a lot and had an amazing time. After an hour of whale watching we resumed our journey to the arch and Lovers beach. It’s was very busy around the arch but Javi is an excellent captain and was able to get us to a quiet spot on the beach where we anchored and all swam and snorkeled away from the crowds. La Isla provided a fun float mat and some tasty chips and salsa and plenty of water and sodas. The only disappointment was the snorkeling was a bit difficult for our young boys. The water was very choppy due to all the boats and the currents were strong so it was not ideal for snorkeling unless your a strong swimmer.

We had a wonderful few hours with Lorena and Javi and would highly recommend La Isla tours.

Thank you for making our trip to Cabo extra enjoyable.

The experience was all inclusive and let us have the flexibility in one trip to cover a bunch of things we were wanting to do. Crew was great and communication was impeccable. Customer service to accommodate us after unforeseen weather issues was stellar!

Thanks again!

My friends and I took the mini boat tour at around 3pm. It was still warm enough to go snorkeling/swimming, but sunset was at 5:30, so bring a jacket or sweater for afterwards!

Danielle and the captain took us on the tour, and they were great! We stopped at a convenience store for some snacks and drinks, visited the arches, and then snorkeled with a ton of fish. The guys had a great time with Danielle as they tried to go deep diving and cliff jumping. She was such a good sport, and we had a blast. We managed to catch the sunset and see some whales too. I’m definitely recommending this tour to friends.

The entire experience was spectacular!

The dock was easy to find in the marina. They were the first boat in the dock and were already waiting for us.

They upgraded our boat to a bigger one. It was clean, spacious and plenty of shade with seating area. Issac and Jonathan were on the boat with us. Gave us plenty of information about Cabo and basically had us do our own thing. We played music of our choice and brought our own food. They provided drinks and snacks. Plenty of time for photos and videos of the arches and time for swimming/snorkeling/paddleboarding.

It was the perfect adventure for our family, just us the way we wanted to spend our time. I highly recommend this company!
