\"Arch<\/a>The\u00a0arch of Cabo San Lucas, locally known as \u201cEl Arco,\u201d is a distinctive and beautiful rock formation that juts from the sea, creating a perfect arcing portico. Few images can do justice to this well-known landmark, which represents the southernmost extreme of Mexico\u2019s Baja California peninsula. El Arco also marks the juncture where the mighty Pacific Ocean meets the Cortez Sea \u2013 making for plenty of fabulous photo opportunities, especially at dawn and dusk.<\/p>\n

There are plenty of ways to visit the arch of Cabo San Lucas (also known as Lands End), including glass bottom boat tours, water taxis, sunset cruises, and snorkeling\/diving tours. More intrepid travelers can even rent kayaks and paddle their way around the rock formations, where pelicans and sea lions congregate among the rocky islets and small but very inviting beaches.<\/p>\n

Frequently rated as one of the best things to do in Cabo, a trip to El Arco is highly recommended for visitors of all ages.

The calm waters around the arch make it a great site for all kinds of sports, including sea kayaking, jet skiing, parasailing, snorkeling and scuba diving. \u00a0Los Cabos boat tours that feature a visit to Lands End come in all varieties, but traditionally follow a similar route through Cabo San Lucas Bay, past the rock formations of El Arco into the larger swells of the Pacific Ocean, before heading east along the Corridor. Some boat tour operators feature pirate themes, open bars and more of a party atmosphere, allowing plenty of chances to relax, meet new friends and enjoy the stunning landscapes of the Baja Peninsula.<\/p>\n

Snorkeling and diving enthusiasts rave about the crystal clear waters surrounding El Arco, where tropical fish, sea turtles, sea lions and the occasional whale are spotted.<\/p>\n
