Discover a great beach for surfing in Mexico and enjoy this beautiful spot with fine sand, blue sea and spectacular views.

Costa Azul Beach (Blue Coast Beach) is a place chosen by surfers, both locals and tourists, to ride impressive waves. Along this laid-back beach, go for long walks and take beautiful panoramic photos. Tides can be strong, so it’s common to see just a few rather expert surf aficionados in the water. Explore the area to taste great food and participate in fun activities, such as fishing and horseback riding.

The beach is located in San José del Cabo, one of the main cities in Los Cabos municipality, Baja California Sur, in northwest Mexico. Costa Azul is often referred to as the capital city of summer surf and hosts many competitions during the year, including Los Cabos Surf Open. Discover the different areas where you can enjoy surfing in conditions appropriate for your level of expertise. Zippers, to the north, has very big waves and is reserved for surfing experts. La Roca (the Rock) is good for mid-level surfers and is located to the south. There are also areas just for beginners and for those using longboards.

Rent surfboards and snorkel equipment at area shops. Costa Azul Surf Shop is a very popular spot located across the Transpeninsular Highway that runs near the beach. Find gear for rent and surf wear for sale. If it’s your first time surfing or you simply need to improve your level, take surf lessons here and join surfing excursions.

In the horse stables near the Costa Azul arroyo (stream), rent horses for riding adventures. When it’s time for lunch, find the famous Zipper's Bar and Grill, a seaside restaurant, where you can devour burgers and ribs while enjoying the views.

To reach Costa Azul Beach you need to travel to the southwest extremity of San José del Cabo. It’s located on the Transpeninsular Highway. Access the beach from the sandy arroyo that passes beneath the Costa Azul Bridge.
