Best things to do in Cabo San Lucas

Watch as the waves crash against El Arco de Cabo San Lucas, an arched rock formation at the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California Peninsula. Created by erosion over millennia, the distinctive rock formation serves as a meeting point for local sea lion colonies; keep your eyes peeled for the large creatures as you admire the rocks. Don't be tempted to go in the water--strong currents and rocky surroundings make the area unsuitable for swimming. You can access the beach near the rock formation by water taxi from the nearby city.

Cruise the nutrient-rich waters off Cabo San Lucas in search of that big catch on a guided fishing tour.

These tours last between 4 and 5 hours.

Discover Chileno Beach, a beautiful, clean, white sand beach that sits off the beaten track. If you’re new to snorkeling or are teaching children, this makes a great place to start, with its calm waters and lifeguard on duty. Explore a bay filled with diverse tropical fish, which have been tamed by human interaction, or explore the rocky outcrops in the periphery, looking for crabs and snails. Consider bringing some snacks, plenty of water, some water shoes, and your own shade. Also, consider visiting on a weekday, as the fairly small beach can get busy during the weekend.
