Chileno Bay holds a distinction no other beach in Los Cabos can claim — the destination's only living coral reef, protected by federal decree, with calm, clear water that makes it one of the finest snorkeling and swimming beaches on the entire Corridor.
Chileno Bay sits roughly midway along the Los Cabos Corridor, between Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo. The bay is federally protected as a marine sanctuary — a rare designation that has preserved its living coral reef and abundant marine life in a way no other beach in the region can match.
The water here is calm and clear, sheltered by the bay's natural rock formations on either end. It is one of the very few beaches in Los Cabos where swimmers, snorkelers, and families can enjoy genuinely tranquil conditions almost year-round.

- Paddleboarding & Kayaking: Flat, sheltered water makes Chileno Bay ideal for paddle sports at any skill level.
- Beach Club Access: Chileno Bay Resort by Auberge offers a private beach club experience for residents and guests of the Discovery Land Company community.
