Overview
Cabo San Lucas delivers raw natural beauty with serious attitude. El Arco rises dramatically from the sea at Land's End, marking where the Pacific crashes into the Sea of Cortez. Between December and April, humpback and gray whales migrate through these waters in one of nature's most spectacular shows. Medano Beach buzzes with activity while Lover's Beach hides in the arch's shadow, accessible only by water taxi. The marina pulses with world-class sportfishing boats, and downtown transforms into a legendary party scene after sunset. Beyond the beaches, camel rides through desert landscape and ATV adventures reveal Baja's rugged interior. From championship golf to tequila tastings, Cabo balances luxury resort life with untamed coastline.
Top Sights
El Arco (Land's End)
The iconic natural rock arch jutting from the sea where two oceans meet. Water taxi rides from the marina get you close enough to see sea lions lounging on the rocks.
Medano Beach
Cabo's liveliest beach with jet skis, parasailing, and beach clubs serving frozen margaritas. The action never stops on this golden stretch of sand.
Lover's Beach
Secluded cove tucked behind El Arco with calm turquoise waters perfect for swimming. Walk over the rocks to Divorce Beach on the wilder Pacific side.
Whale Watching
December through April brings thousands of humpback and gray whales to these warm waters. Tours practically guarantee sightings of breaching giants.
Marina Cabo San Lucas
The beating heart of Cabo's sportfishing scene, lined with million-dollar yachts and waterfront restaurants. Catch your own dinner or just watch the sunset.
Santa Maria Bay
Protected cove with some of Cabo's best snorkeling over coral reefs teeming with tropical fish. Crystal clear waters and far less crowded than other spots.
