El Arco (The Arch of Cabo San Lucas) and Land's End. A towering natural granite arch at the absolute southern tip of the Baja Peninsula, where the Pacific Ocean collides with the Sea of Cortez. Accessible only by boat from Medano Beach or the marina, this 30-million-year-old formation is the defining image of Los Cabos and a must-see for every visitor.
Whale Watching in the Sea of Cortez. Between December and April, thousands of humpback and gray whales migrate through the warm, sheltered bays of Los Cabos to mate and raise calves — a spectacle that ranks among the world's premier wildlife-watching experiences. February offers the highest likelihood of close-up encounters with mother-and-calf pairs.
Playa del Amor (Lover's Beach). A secluded cove of jade-green water and white sand nestled against the granite boulders of Land's End, reachable only by water taxi. The Sea of Cortez side is calm enough for swimming and snorkeling, while the Pacific side — Divorce Beach — crashes with dramatic, untameable surf just steps away.
Cabo Pulmo National Marine Park. A UNESCO World Heritage Site roughly two hours from San Jose del Cabo, Cabo Pulmo protects the only hard coral reef in the Gulf of California — a 20,000-year-old ecosystem nicknamed 'The Aquarium of the World' with over 800 species of marine life. After receiving full protection in 1995, its fish population rebounded…

The weekly Art Walk, launched in 2006, is the…
World-Class Sport Fishing. Los Cabos earns its title 'Marlin Capital of the World' from the nutrient-rich confluence of the Pacific and Sea of Cortez, which draws blue, black, and striped marlin year-round alongside yellowfin tuna, sailfish, and dorado. Charter boats range from 17-foot pangas to 70-foot luxury yachts with fully outfitted crews.
Sierra de la Laguna Biosphere Reserve. A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve rising just 16 miles from San Jose del Cabo, the Sierra de la Laguna is a startling microclimate where desert cacti give way to pine-oak forests and the Baja Peninsula's only tropical rainforest. More than 900 plant species — over 20% endemic — await hikers, boulderers, and canyoneers…
Championship Golf Along the Tourist Corridor. Nowhere else in North America can golfers play emerald fairways that spill down cactus-studded desert hillsides directly to the Sea of Cortez. Los Cabos boasts more than eight world-class courses designed by legends including Jack Nicklaus, Tom Fazio, and Greg Norman, with optimal conditions across 300-plus days of…
