Completely different vibes. Curacao is more of a relaxing, beachy place. While Cabo is more of a people watching, resort place since the beaces on the Pacific are not all swimable. It would also depend where you're going. I was considering Las Ventanas al Paraiso, One&Only Palmilla and Marquis Los Cabos in San Jose Del Cabo and Dreams in Cabo San Lucas. Although there are a lot of nice hotels in the latter. Choosing a HM is very hard...I would say to read as much about each area as possible (TripAdvisor.com is very helpful) and make a list of your 'musts' then go with the place that comes closest.
Good luck!

Answer: Generally, yes. There are a few places to beware of. The beaches on the Pacific side can be very dangerous, especially in the summer, be very careful. The main beach, Medano Beach and Lover's Beach (bay side only, beware on the Pacific side) are probably the safest places to swim. The bays of Chileno and Santa Maria are usually safe, but be careful if there are any swells (usually summer). Remember, there are no lifeguards here. During the summer there can be large swells, even on the Sea of Cortez. Be careful and buddy up, swim with a friend, always! Tell other people where you are going to swim and your expected return time.
You might be wondering what good is a beach if you can’t swim there. Well, if your dream includes a long leisurely stroll on a secluded stretch of sand close to downtown Cabo, Pacific Ocean beaches are just the ticket—as long as you stay out of the water. Along the Pacific shore, you’ll find Solmar Suites, one of Los Cabos’ original resorts. Hotel Finisterra is another of Cabo’s first hotels and like the Solmar has undergone expansion and upgrades. Between the two is the Playa Grande Resort. Built in the Mexican hacienda-style, it’s growing fast: 68 additional suites (220 in total), a fitness center and spa will be open by the end of 2004. Further north is Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach on 50 acres of pristine oceanfront. When complete the resort will feature 487 ocean view hillside suites and five pools. Sunset Beach is part of 500-acre Cabo Pacifica, which will include exclusive hotels, residential developments and golf courses.
