Rising from the sea, the Arch of Cabo San Lucas is a striking granite formation and one of the most iconic landmarks of Los Cabos. Towering three stories above the meeting point of the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez, this natural wonder, known locally as “El Arco” or “Land’s End,” is a testament to the relentless power of wind and tidal erosion that has shaped the Baja Peninsula for millennia.
Visiting the Arch is a must, accessible only by boat from Medano Beach or the Cabo San Lucas Marina. Glass-bottom boats, water taxis, private yachts, and sunset sailing cruises offer breathtaking views of this geological marvel. Along the way, travellers may encounter playful sea lions, curious dolphins, or even migrating whales breaching in the distance.
For a deeper connection with the sea, snorkelling, paddle boarding, and scuba diving unveil a vibrant underwater world teeming with marine life. Guided kayak tours provide a serene way to explore the rugged coastline, offering a front-row seat to the Arch’s stunning beauty.
The pristine beaches surrounding the Arch add to its allure. Lover’s Beach offers calm waters, perfect for swimming and snorkelling, while nearby Divorce Beach contrasts with its dramatic cliffs and powerful waves. Just beyond, Pirate’s Cave whispers tales of hidden treasures and legendary seafarers, adding an air of mystery to this already mesmerizing landscape.
Whether admired from a distance or experienced up close, the Arch stands as a symbol of Los Cabos’ raw beauty and timeless appeal.
Beyond its breathtaking scenery, Los Cabos thrives with energy and excitement. From world-class cuisine and artistic inspiration to elite sporting events and film festivals, there’s always something happening. In this paradise where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific, adventure awaits – deep-sea fishing, championship golf, scuba diving, snorkelling, kayaking, horseback riding, luxury spa retreats, and nights that stretch until dawn. Whatever your passion, Los Cabos delivers.
