Playa Santa María is not quite as popular as Tourist Corridor neighbor Playa Chileno, but this exquisitely lovely horseshoe-shaped beach is definitely worth a visit. The protected bay includes a marine sanctuary, and there is an colorful array of marine life visible here. That's one of the reasons the bay is included on so many Cabo San Lucas dive and snorkel tours. If you're not snorkeling with a tour, you'll probably need to bring your own equipment, as there are few rentals or services at Santa María. That may change with the building of a new 39-acre resort and residential development called Montage Los Cabos, which is scheduled to open in 2017.
