Cabo San Lucas Sights

  1. Land's End

    Land's End is by far the biggest, and most impressive, attraction Cabo San Lucas has to offer. Get on a panga (a fibreglass skiff) and head to El Arco (the Arch), a jagged natural feature which partially fills with the tide. Pelicans, sea lions, sea, sky - this is what brought people to Cabo in the first place and it's still magical, despite the mammoth cruise ship towering behind it.

  2. Playa del Amor

    Flanked by towering rocks, quiet Playa del Amor (Lover's Beach) - with access to both the Pacific and the bay waters - is Cabo's most scenic beach. Swimming near the arches should be avoided because of currents, but snorkeling on the bay side is excellent. You can get there only by water taxi, which mercifully prevents it from becoming overcrowded.

  3. Playa Médano

    Cabo San Lucas has three main beaches. The most popular is Playa Médano, which runs northeast for about 3km (2 miles) from the Hacienda Beach Resort (under renovation). The water is crystal clear and calm, making it ideal for swimming (or, as the case may be, wading with a margarita glasses in hand). Buoyed swimming areas keep the jet skis, parasailers and fishing pangas away from the swimmers (at least in theory), and cruise ships float off shore.

  4. Playa Solmar

    Playa Solmar is quieter than Playa del Amor and well suited for sunbathing; however, it has a reputation for unpredictable breakers that drown several unsuspecting tourists every year. It's accessible via the road to Hotel Solmar.
