Things to Do in Cabo San Lucas

Top things to do in Cabo San Lucas

  • El Arco (The Arch) at Land's End. Cabo's defining symbol — a dramatic 60-foot granite arch formed over 30 million years where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez. Reachable only by water taxi or boat from Medano Beach or the Marina, it delivers one of Mexico's most iconic photographs at any hour.
  • Lover's Beach (Playa del Amor). A white-sand pocket beach tucked at Land's End where the calm Sea of Cortez washes one shore and the wild Pacific crashes Divorce Beach on the other — two oceans, one sliver of sand. A resident sea lion colony lounges on the rocks just offshore.
  • Whale Watching in the Sea of Cortez. From mid-December through April, humpback and gray whales migrate through the waters off Cabo — offering some of the most accessible whale watching in North America right from the Marina. January and February bring peak sightings.
  • Snorkeling at Santa Maria Cove and Chileno Bay. Two protected marine sanctuaries along the Corridor between Cabo and San José del Cabo rank among Baja's finest snorkel sites, with vibrant coral, sea turtles, rays, and tropical fish in crystal-clear water framed by granite cliffs. Most tours depart from the Marina and stop at both.
  • Sport Fishing at the Cabo Marina. Widely called the Marlin Capital of the World, Cabo's marina dispatches charter fleets daily into waters stacked with blue marlin, striped marlin, dorado, and yellowfin tuna. The annual Bisbee's Black and Blue Tournament each October is the richest fishing competition on the planet.
  • Sunset Cruise Past Land's End. Sailing out of the marina at dusk, catamarans and sailing yachts glide past El Arco as the sky turns amber and rose over the Pacific — one of Mexico's most celebrated sunset views. Open-bar sailings and private luxury charters both depart nightly.
  • Medano Beach. The only consistently safe swimming beach in Cabo San Lucas, Medano stretches along a calm bay lined with beach clubs, water-sports rentals, and open-air bars. Jet-skis, parasailing, paddleboarding, and kayaking launch right from the sand.
  • Quivira Golf Club. A Jack Nicklaus Signature course perched on Pacific cliffs, with holes that descend to dune beaches and climb to headland viewpoints — widely regarded as the most dramatic oceanfront golf layout in Los Cabos. Every hole delivers unobstructed Pacific views.
