The Arch of Cabo San Lucas

A captivating granite formation and one of the most recognizable symbols of Los Cabos, the Arch towers three stories above the meeting point of the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortes. Known locally as "El Arco" or "Land's End," this natural wonder is a testament to the forces of tidal and wind erosion shaping the Baja Peninsula over millennia.

Visiting the Arch in Los Cabos is a must-do experience, accessible only by boat from Medano Beach or the Cabo San Lucas Marina. Whether on glass-bottom boat rides, water taxis, private yachts, or sunset sailing cruises, travelers are treated to unparalleled views of the Arch and the chance to encounter playful sea lions and dolphins or spot migrating whales. For deeper immersion, snorkeling, paddle boarding, and scuba diving trips unveil the wide array of marine life beneath the waves, while guided kayak tours provide a leisurely exploration of the coastline. 

The Arch’s pristine beaches invite travelers to explore the tranquil waters of Lover’s Beach, ideal for swimming and snorkeling, as well as Divorce Beach, known for its dramatic cliffs and crashing waves. Adjacent to the Arch lies Pirate's Cave, shrouded in centuries-old legends, adding an intriguing dimension to this iconic landmark.

Admiring its grandeur from afar or venturing up close, the Arch of Cabo San Lucas stands as a symbol of the region's natural splendor and timeless allure.
