The strip of sand wedged between two oceans, tucked under the cliffs of Land's End, with no way in by land.

🚇 Water taxi from the Marina pier or from Playa Médano
Featured in: ZOFEMAT Los Cabos
Show on mapPlaya del Divorcio · Pacific side of Land's End
The wild sister: the same tongue of sand, but facing the open Pacific, with the surf breaking straight onto it and nowhere to shelter.
Tip: Do NOT go in the water here. ZOFEMAT flags it as the most dangerous beach in the Arch area: rip currents with no warning. Take the photo from dry sand.
🚇 On foot from Lover's Beach, across the sandbar
Featured in: ZOFEMAT Los Cabos
Show on mapFinisterra · southern tip of the peninsula
The point where the Baja California peninsula literally ends and the open sea begins, with sea lions standing guard.
Tip: The sea lion colony lives there year-round. Boats slow down as they approach: don't feed them and don't get in the water near the rocks.
🚇 By boat from the Marina; it's part of the same Arch run
Featured in: Visit Los Cabos
Show on mapPlaya Médano · Cabo San Lucas
The only beach in downtown Cabo that's safe for swimming and fully serviced: 3 km of sand facing the sheltered bay.
Tip: This is the beach ZOFEMAT lists as safe. The vendors are persistent: a firm 'no, gracias' does the job. Beach club loungers cost money, the sand is free.
🚇 On foot from downtown Cabo San Lucas or from the Marina
Featured in: ZOFEMAT Los Cabos
Show on mapMarina del Rey · Cabo San Lucas
The heart of town: yachts, sportfishing boats, pelicans and the pier every Arch tour leaves from.
Tip: Walk the whole boardwalk before you book anything: dozens of counters sell the same tour at wildly different prices. Compare three.
🚇 On foot from downtown, along Boulevard Paseo de la Marina
Featured in: Visit Los Cabos
Show on mapPlaza Amelia Wilkes Ceseña · Downtown, Cabo San Lucas
The old town square, with its bandstand and its laurel shade, two blocks from the marina's noise and on another planet.
Tip: Come at sunset: that's when local families fill it. The Iglesia de San Lucas and the natural history museum are right across, all on the same block.
🚇 On foot, in downtown Cabo San Lucas
Featured in: Visit Los Cabos
Show on mapParroquia de San Lucas · Downtown, Cabo San Lucas
The white 1730 parish church that gave the town its name, raised by the Jesuits on top of the original mission.

🚇 On foot, on Plaza Amelia Wilkes
Featured in: Visit Los Cabos
Show on mapMuseo de Historia Natural · Plaza Amelia Wilkes
A small, honest museum about the desert that runs into the sea, the wildlife of the Sea of Cortez and the Pericú people who lived here.

What's left of the cannery that was the only reason Cabo San Lucas existed before tourism showed up.

🚇 On foot from the Marina, toward the end of the pier

The zero point of the Carretera Transpeninsular: 1,711 km of asphalt that start in Tijuana and end exactly here.

The 1890 lighthouse the Pacific dunes slowly swallowed until it was left alone, stranded in the sand.
Tip: You can't get there in a regular car: the sand is deep and you'll bury it. Go by ATV tour or with a 4x4. Sunset over the Pacific is the whole point.
🚇 Only by off-road vehicle or ATV tour from Cabo San Lucas
Featured in: Visit Los Cabos
Show on mapPlaya el Faro · Cabo Falso, Pacific side
Endless sand on the Pacific side, with dunes, wind and nobody around. Sea turtles nest here.

Featured in: ZOFEMAT Los Cabos
Show on mapPedregal Playa · El Pedregal, Cabo San Lucas
The hidden beach of the neighborhood of houses hanging off the cliff, on the far side of the tunnel that cuts through the hill.
Tip: The Pedregal tunnel is public and short, and it opens straight onto the Pacific. But the sea on that side is rough: look, don't swim.
🚇 On foot through the Pedregal tunnel from Boulevard Marina
Featured in: ZOFEMAT Los Cabos
Show on mapPlaya el Balconcito · Cabo San Lucas bay
A tiny cove on the sheltered bay, hidden among the cliffs on the way to Land's End.

🚇 By water taxi or kayak from Playa Médano or the Marina
Featured in: Visit Los Cabos
Show on mapPlaya Black Coral · Cabo San Lucas bay
A small beach on the inner bay, on the calm side, between the marina and the Arch. Clear water and zero swell.

Show on mapLetrero #CABO · Marina, Cabo San Lucas
The giant letters on the boardwalk: the obligatory photo before you board any boat.

🚇 On foot, along Boulevard Paseo de la Marina
Featured in: Visit Los Cabos
Show on mapManta Scuba Diving · Cabo San Lucas
A small, serious dive shop with daily trips to the sites in the bay and out along the Corridor.

Show on mapQuivira Golf Club · Cabo San Lucas, Pacific side
A Jack Nicklaus course hanging over the Pacific cliffs, with six holes directly above the water.

🚇 By taxi from Cabo San Lucas, access through Pueblo Bonito
Featured in: Visit Los Cabos

🚇 By taxi from downtown Cabo San Lucas, up to El Tezal

The terminal where the buses to San José del Cabo, La Paz and Todos Santos leave from: the genuinely cheap way to move around.

🚇 By taxi along the Carretera Transpeninsular; the turnoff is signposted
Featured in: Visit Los Cabos · ZOFEMAT
Show on mapBahía Santa María · Tourist Corridor
The whole bay seen from the water: reef, bright fish and the desert dropping straight into the sea.
Tip: It's one of the few places on earth where the Sonoran Desert touches the ocean. Catamarans arrive mid-morning: if you want quiet, come by land early.
🚇 By snorkeling boat from the Marina de Cabo San Lucas
Featured in: Visit Los Cabos
Show on mapPlaya la Viudas / Twin Dolphin · Tourist Corridor
Tiny coves split by rocks, with tide pools and sunsets almost nobody shares.

🚇 By taxi along the Carretera Transpeninsular, Twin Dolphin turnoff
Featured in: ZOFEMAT Los Cabos
Show on mapPlaya Monumentos · Tourist Corridor
A surf spot with rock formations and one of the most accessible reefs on the Corridor.

Featured in: ZOFEMAT Los Cabos
Show on mapPlaya Cabo Bello · Tourist Corridor
A long, open beach on the western stretch of the Corridor, with a clear view all the way to Land's End.

🚇 By taxi along the Carretera Transpeninsular, Cabo Bello area
Featured in: ZOFEMAT Los Cabos
Show on mapPlaya Cabo Real · Tourist Corridor
A wide stretch of golden sand between Cabo Real and Las Ventanas, with the desert climbing the hill behind it.

🚇 By taxi along the Carretera Transpeninsular, Cabo Real access
Featured in: ZOFEMAT Los Cabos
Show on mapCapilla de los Dolores · Tourist Corridor
A tiny white chapel on the Corridor hillside, with one of the prettiest views on the whole stretch.

Featured in: Visit Los Cabos
Show on mapAgave Art Studio · Punta Ballena, Corridor
A clifftop art workshop where you can watch local artists work without paying admission.

Featured in: Visit Los Cabos
Show on mapEl Taller · Cabo del Sol, Corridor
An artists' studio in the middle of the Corridor, far from the San José gallery circuit. Local work at studio prices.

Show on mapParroquia de San José · Plaza Mijares, Historic Center
The 1730 Jesuit mission that gave birth to the town, with its mosaic above the door and its laurel-shaded plaza out front.

The iron bandstand on the main square, with the benches, the jacarandas and the life of the town around it.

A freshwater wetland wedged between the desert and the sea, with palms, reeds and more than 200 recorded bird species.

🚇 On foot from the Hotel Zone of San José del Cabo
Featured in: Visit Los Cabos
Show on mapBirdwatching tower · Estero San José

Featured in: Visit Los Cabos
Show on mapPlaya del Estero · San José del Cabo
The beach where the wetland meets the sea: open sand, wind and the contrast between fresh water and the Sea of Cortez.

🚇 On foot from the Hotel Zone of San José del Cabo
Featured in: ZOFEMAT Los Cabos
Show on mapPlaya Palmilla · Punta Palmilla, San José del Cabo
The most sheltered bay in all of Los Cabos: still water, sandy bottom and fishermen's pangas pulled up on the shore.
Tip: It's the beach ZOFEMAT lists as safe year-round and the best in the area for kids. There's parking, bathrooms and public palapas.
🚇 By taxi along the Carretera Transpeninsular, Palmilla turnoff
Featured in: Visit Los Cabos · ZOFEMAT
Show on mapPunta Palmilla · San José del Cabo
The rock point that shelters Palmilla bay and splits the calm water from the open swell.
Tip: On the north side the sea is flat; on the south side it breaks. That contrast a few steps apart explains why you swim at Palmilla and not at Costa Azul.
🚇 On foot from Playa Palmilla, along the shore
Featured in: Visit Los Cabos
Show on mapPlaya Acapulquito · San José del Cabo
A small surfers' beach at the foot of the Cabo Surf hotel, with the Old Man's break right in front.

Featured in: Visit Los Cabos · ZOFEMAT
Show on mapPlaya Costa Azul · San José del Cabo
The surf beach of Los Cabos, with Zippers and The Rock, the two waves that brought the first surfers here in the 70s.

A square of craft stalls in central San José, good for comparing prices before you walk into the galleries.
