Description: Solmar Beach is an incredibly beautiful, wide, quiet, peaceful beach on the Pacific Ocean in Cabo San Lucus surrounded by rock outcroppings. There are only four properties located on Solmar Beach. These properties are the Hotel Finisterra, Playa Grande Resort, Terra Sol Beach Resort (year round condominiums), and Solmar Beach Club Resort and Suites, located closest to Land's End. One can walk from property to property, with Playa Grande Resort and Solmar Suites having arrangements to share facilities. Very few people are found on the beach. Most peple lounge by the pools of their respective resort. There are also no vendors on this beach.
Solmar Beach is a nonswimming beach, due to dangerous riptides. There are no lifeguards on the beach, but signs are posted, warning of the dangerous riptides and undertows. The signs also warn against walking along in the surf. After watching the ocean here, one realizes why these warnings are posted. The water is extremely turbulent. The wave action can sound like thunder.
Solmar Beach is beautiful for walking. There are often local guides at the end of the beach who can be hired for a small fee to escort one over the rocks to the other side of the point. Lover's Beach, a swimming beach, is located on the other side of this stretch of rocks, along the Sea of Cortez. One will hear differing stories about the climb over the rocks. During our timeshare tour, we were told a 90-year old could easily do the climb, while folks we met, who do mountain climbing, said it was a streunous 10 minute climb, with proper footwear a must. I never did try the walk-climb as I was not prepared with the proper footwear during my barefoot walks along the beach!
While enjoying the beach, one can be entertained with the sights and sounds of sea lions swimming by, along with the occasional sight of a whale breaching. Cruise ships also must pass directly by this beach. Solmar Beach is a truly beautiful beach, truly different from all other beaches one encounters in travel experiences.
