Lover’s Beach in Mexico: the hidden cove you reach by water, not by road

Dear Cherubs, if a beach had a secret handshake, Lover’s Beach in Cabo San Lucas would be it. Officially called Playa del Amor, this little crescent of sand sits at Land’s End beside El Arco, where the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific do their dramatic meet-cute in full public view.

THE SETUP

This is not a “park the car, stroll five minutes, and claim your umbrella” kind of place. According to Visit Los Cabos, the easiest way in is by water taxi from Medano Beach, though kayak and paddleboard arrivals are also part of the menu for the more energetic among us.

That is why people call it hidden. It is hidden in the practical sense, not the cinematic one: you cannot drive up to it, and you do not just wander in wearing sandals and confidence. The beach rewards a little effort with a lot of bragging rights, which, frankly, is half the modern travel economy. As noted by thisclaimer.com, the internet loves a “secret” place right up until it becomes everybody’s weekend plan.

THE CATCH

Strictly speaking, the “only accessed by swimming” version is a bit too neat to be true. The facts are slightly less glamorous and more useful: you can reach Lover’s Beach by boat, water taxi, kayak, or paddleboard, and the calmer Sea of Cortez side is where swimming and snorkeling make sense. Wikimedia Commons’ file notes also warn that the Pacific side can have powerful waves and currents, so this is not the spot for freestyle heroics.

That mix is what makes the place memorable. One side is relatively gentle, with clear water and marine life below; the other side is a reminder that the ocean did not get the memo about your holiday mood. Visit Los Cabos calls it one of the most popular swimmable beaches in the area, and the description fits: it is tiny, scenic, and just remote enough to feel like you found it before the algorithm did.

If you go, think simple. Bring water, sun protection, shoes for hot sand, and a flexible timeline, because places like this are best enjoyed without rushing. Lover’s Beach is not just a pretty backdrop; it is a small geography lesson with excellent lighting.

For #SchiffSamstag this is the super yacht AV just off the coast of Cabo San Lucas last month. Now owned by American billionaire Dennis Washington it was formerly named Palladium and was owned by the Russian oligarch Mikhail Prokhorov who, despite some opposition to Putin, never found himself close enough to a window to fall out of it.

ISSSTE inaugura área de hemodiálisis en Cabo San Lucas

El funcionamiento de esta área beneficia a los derechohabientes de la localidad con padecimientos relacionados a la falla renal, al incorporar uno de los servicios médicos de mayor demanda.

Autoridades del Instituto de Seguridad y Servicios Sociales de los Trabajadores del Estado (ISSSTE), a cargo del director general Martí Batres Guadarrama, inauguraron el área de hemodiálisis de la Clínica Hospital (CH) “Cabo San Lucas”, en Baja California Sur, como parte de las acciones para fortalecer la atención médica en la especializada en la entidad.

El secretario técnico del Comité de Vigilancia del Instituto, Ricardo Ruiz Suárez, junto con el gobernador de Baja California Sur, Víctor Manuel Castro Cosío, encabezaron la apertura de este servicio que permitirá ampliar y agilizar la capacidad de atención a pacientes con insuficiencia renal, al brindar este tratamiento, que es uno de los de mayor demanda, sin necesidad de referirlos a otras unidades.

Ruiz Suárez señaló que esta acción responde al compromiso del director general del ISSSTE de fortalecer los servicios de salud, en congruencia con la visión del Gobierno de México, encabezado por la Presidenta Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, que reconoce la salud como un derecho fundamental.

“El tema central que nos implica trabajar todos los días, por una decisión personal, pero como parte de una visión que tiene nuestra Presidenta Claudia Sheinbaum, que ha dicho que la salud es un tema principal, que no es un tema solo de un planteamiento político general, sino que hay una convicción de que la salud es un derecho fundamental”, subrayó. –sn–

View from the balcony as we prepare to depart our final port of Cabo San Lucas. It's been baking hot and humid and we stupidly walked for ages in it rather than give in to the three thousand offers for a taxi we received. Had a couple of beers in the rooftop bar of Baja Brewing then spent the last of our pesos on coffee. Currently watching rays in the water below our cabin.

Sea day tomorrow, then San Diego and the flight home to the cold.

Il Fatto Quotidiano: Passeggiano sulla spiaggia e si imbattono in due “pesci dell’Apocalisse”: il raro avvistamento di due sorelle – Video

Due sorelle stavano passeggiando sulla spiaggia di Cabo San Lucas, nella Baja California, in Messico, quando si sono imbattute in un rarissimo avvistamento. Le due hanno incontrato due pesci remo, anche detti “pesci dell’apocalisse“. Invece di osservare la scena chiamando le autorità preposte, una delle due ha deciso di intervenire e insieme ad alcuni bagnanti presenti in spiaggia ha spinto i pesci di nuovo verso acque profonde.
Ma cosa sono i pesci remo e perché sono chiamati così? I pesci regalecus glesne sono i pesci ossei più lunghi al mondo con corpi che raggiungono anche i nove metri, sono caratterizzati da un corpo lungo simile a un nastro con un colore argentato che diventa rossastro lungo la cresta dorsale. La specie vive normalmente in zone molto profonde dell’oceano, comprese tra i 200 e 1000 metri di profondità. Raramente quindi, visto il loro habitat in acque profonde, riescono ad essere avvistati vivi: anche per questo forse nei secoli il pesce remo è stato associato a varie leggende. Secondo i giapponesi si tratta infatti di un “pesce del giorno del giudizio“, tanto da ritenerlo un presagio per le catastrofi naturali. Ad esempio, prima del terremoto del Giappone del 2011, la leggenda racconta che furono avvistati un totale di 20 pesci remo arenati sulle spiagge.

They walk on the beach and stumble upon two “apocalypse fish”: the rare sighting of two sisters – Video

Two sisters were strolling along the beach of Cabo San Lucas, in Baja California, Mexico, when they came across a very rare sighting. The two women encountered two basking sharks, also known as “apocalypse fish.” Instead of observing the scene and calling the appropriate authorities, one of the two decided to intervene, and together with some bathers present on the beach, they pushed the sharks back towards deeper waters.

But what are basking sharks and why are they called that? Regalecus glesne are the longest bony fish in the world with bodies reaching up to nine meters long, characterized by a long, ribbon-like body with an silvery color that becomes reddish along the dorsal crest. The species normally lives in very deep ocean areas, between 200 and 1000 meters deep. Therefore, they rarely appear alive, given their habitat in deep water; this may be why the basking shark has been associated with various legends for centuries. According to the Japanese, it is a “fish of the day of judgment,” to the point that it is considered a harbinger of natural disasters. For example, before the 2011 Japanese earthquake, the legend says that a total of 20 stranded basking sharks were sighted on the beaches.
