The distinctive landmark of Cabo San Lucas is the rugged taffy-colored El Arco (The Arch) rock formation that erupts from the sea at the tip of the Baja Peninsula, where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez. Also known as Land's End, El Arco is a popular tourist attraction and the central focus of countless vacation photos.

A visit to Land's End is undoubtedly one of the most popular things to do in Cabo San Lucas. Getting there is easy and you can view the iconic golden arch from your boat or ask the captain to drop you off and arrange a pick-up time. The best way is via water taxi from the downtown marina. En route you will pass lazy sea lions basking on the rocks. (visit link)

In the immediate vicinity of the arch is Playa del Amore - the beach of lovers, one of five most picturesque beaches in the country. It is reachable by boat only, since the beach and the coast are separated by a series of rocks. It is noteworthy, that very near is one of the most dangerous and treacherous beaches of Mexico - Playa del Divorcio, whose name can literally be translated as ‘Beach of the divorced’. Swimming is very dangerous here because of the constant strong waves. (visit link)
