Los Cabos is where the desert collides with the confluence of the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez at Bajas southernmost tip. It has always been a favorite for anglers, but Cabo San Lucas also has great beaches, lots of shopping and restaurants, and a variety of hotels and resorts. Cabo has gradually developed into a tourist spot; it was never a historical town since it had no source of fresh water. Because of this, the city does not have much to see if you like historic sites. It is all tourism; in fact, the large marina shops and malls feel like southern California. It does offer great weather with some exotic looking scenery and it is relatively close to the U.S. so maybe that is the appeal. Cabo San Lucas is one of those relaxing vacation places where you plan on doing little but sitting on the beach with an occasional activity.

At the marina, you will have no problem finding and hiring a water taxi or glass bottom boat to take you out to the Arch or the beachs at Lands End. The boat driver will probably take you on a tour around the arch, the sea lions and other sites in the area. They like the round trip price so you will need to know when you will be done with your time at the beach so they can come pick you up.

Sea Lions at Lands End

The boat goes right up to the beach, I had to quickly pull my shoes off before jumping out. The swimming beach is Lovers Beach so the majority of people were hanging out there. A short walk over Lovers Beach will take you to Divorce Beach. This side is located on the Pacific side with larger (and dangerous) waves. Everyone says to swim and snorkel only on the Sea of Cortez side (Lovers Beach).
