Nude Beaches and Topless Sunbathing in Cabo San Lucas and Los Cabos? Clothing Optional Beaches and Resorts?
Public nudity is generally not legal in Mexico although enforcement of this law is not very strict. The only resort in Baja (that I am aware of) where nudity is permitted is located in Loretto. There are several beaches in the Cabo San Lucas and the Los Cabos area that are isolated enough to permit topless sunbathing and nudity. Use your common sense, see what other people are doing. If others are topless nearby, then the practice may be more tolerated in that area. The following link gives more information about Nude Beaches and Topless Sunbathing in Cabo San Lucas and Los Cabos. There is only one clothing optional resort in the area.

Cabo San Lucas is accessible by sea via Carnival Cruises from Los Angeles and other major cruise lines. By land, Cabo is accessible via Highway 1, which runs the entire length of the Baja California peninsula from the US border.

Driving in Los Cabos and Baja California - What is required?
No special permits or bonds are needed, unless you plan to continue on to Mexico's mainland. You will need a valid drivers license issued by your state of residence. Be sure to get Mexican insurance before crossing the border, as your U.S. insurance is not valid in Mexico. Do not drive in Mexico without insurance! While you are purchasing insurance, get a map that shows the locations of gas stations. Keep your gas tank as close to full as possible, even if it means extra stops. You never know when the next gas station will be closed or out of gas. It is a good idea to carry a gas can, with gas in it. The roads are constantly patrolled by the Green Angels (daytime hours only) who will help with gas and very minor repairs. These angels of mercy will pass by eventually, although you will probably be helped before they do by others passing by. The roads are generally safe, but narrow by U.S. standards, be extra careful. Do not drive at night unless you are curious about the real meaning of "Road Kill". Even in the daytime, you will need to watch out for cattle and other animals crossing the highway.
