Best four hours spent during the weekend. Marina staff knowledgeable and friendly. Very organized.

Punch and beverages are provided, but, if you want alcohol, you must B.Y.O.B. The boats are 26 to 28 feet long and plenty large for four passengers and a crew of three.

Takes only 30 minutes to get from the marina to fishing spots along the Pacific coast.

My friend and I paid $170 to do sports fishing with two other people. We were on a small boat for 8 hours, and only three of us got to hold a fishing pole once for about 1 minute. I was very disappointed. None of the crew would ever talk to us either, and they kept our bait. They never gave us our fishing license we had to purchase either. We were very disappointed.

I have never liked fishing, but having gone deep sea fishing I would recommend it to anyone! You have the beauty of the ocean, we've seen herds of dolphin, whales, and the challenge of reeling in a marlin (or dorado, or any of the other sport fish) is INCREDIBLE! The bonus is that after you get back you can eat your catch at one of the local restaurants (I recommend Stop Light). Even if we didn't catch a marlin, the excitement of catching the other fish and the beauty of the surroundings would make it well worth the trip.

Solmar Beach

  • April 6, 2003
  • Rated 4 of 5 by Jane M. from Wilbraham, Massachusetts
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.

My husband and I were the only two fishing persons on this boat. It was very rough at sea this day. I took some motion sickness pills. Got very sleepy. I would recommend getting the patch of motion sickness if you are planning on going fishing. We have talked with others that say this is the best. My husband caught a 'Wahoo'. 70 lbs and about 68'. We brought home about 45 lbs of fish. Great eating light white fish.
