Page 9 - Los Cabos - Lands End

Here are a few more things to do on your visit to Los Cabos:
Nature watch at El Arco
For something stately, hop on a panga (some are
glass bottomed), and head out to Cabo’s most fa-
mous natural feature, the Arch. “El Arco” is part of
a formation known as the Three Friars, which make
up the peninsula’s very southern tip, Land’s End. On
one side, the Pacific Ocean in all its grandeur; on the
other side begins the Sea of Cortez. Despite other
visitors and the cruise ships, it doesn’t take much
to look at these majestic rocks, squint, and envision
this area as it must have looked for centuries. Keep
an eye out for pelicans and sea lions too.
Chase whale tail off Baja
As early as October through as late as March, the an-
nual migration of gray whales occurs, bringing thou-
sands of these magnificent creatures to various shal-
low lagoons around the Baja Peninsula. Some only
go as far as Laguna Ojo de Liebre, far north, in Guer-
rero Negro, but many go all the way to the Sea of
Cortez side and pass right by Cabo San Lucas. Whale
watching tours run to many places around the area,
often lasting three or four hours. You might also see
whales just by scanning the horizon, or have one
surface a few yards away while you’re surfing.
Get romantic at Lover’s Beach
Lover’s Beach is one of Cabo’s most fabled spots, a
strip of virgin sand accessible only by panga that’s
best visited with someone special. Stretch out and
sunbathe amid wave washed rocks that look almost
like gray bread dough. Bring a lunch or have the
boatman pick you up after a few hours.
Sun worship at Divorce Beach
Divorce Beach, appropriately connected to Lover’s
Beach, is on the Pacific side. Come here to soak up
some sun, and then watch it go down - Cabo sunsets
don’t get much better than seen from here. If your
a newlywed and superstitious you may want to miss
this stop.
