It is said that the name is due to the fact that two seas are united: the golf of California and the Pacific Ocean. Others attribute it to the history of two lovers from the 18th Century: a Japanese sailor that was rescued by an inhabitant of the region. The two fell in love and spent many moments together on the beach. The girl’s father opposed the relationship and in an attack of anger wounded the Japanese sailor to the point of death. The girl in her desperation of the moment decides to take her life and be united in the next world with her lover. The witness, of course, is this beach that would be marked as “Lover’s Beach”.
Some of the water taxi drivers will suggest that at the cave on the beach two lovers went in and three came out...perhaps some don't know the 'true' legend.
This arch occurs at the entrance to the cave on the eastern end of Lover's beach.
