The beauty of Los Cabos begins with the coastline's secluded coves and long stretches of golden sand beaches. Seek out a true natural wonder with a boat trip to Lover's Beach, the only place on the continent where you can walk between the waters of the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez.
While at Lover's Beach, be sure to visit the famous rock formation that creates a natural arch at Land's End. You may see dolphins frolicking in the waters or sea lions lounging on the rocks.
Right off the heart of downtown Cabo San Lucas is the seemingly endless, beautiful Playa Medano. This two mile stretch of warm sands is the heart of the action, a great spot for people watching and watersports.
Other famous beaches in the region include Playa Costa Azul, where the brisk waves make it the choice of surfers, Playa Palmilla, Chileno, Santa Maria and Playa Buenos Aires. Beaches on the Sea of Cortez side of the peninsula have calmer waters and are safer for swimming than those on the Pacific Ocean.
These beautiful shorelines are vast and varied enough to have something for everyone. Find action packed hotspots or discover deserted coasts and try out all of your favorite watersports from swimming and snorkeling to sea kayaking, sailing, surfing and so many more. Windsurfing and waterskiing are great ways to spend warm sunny Baja days on the water. Glass bottom boats and waverunners can be fun ways to cross the bay from popular Playa Medano to Lover's Beach.
The waters of San Lucas Bay are among the deepest in the world. They are home to a vast array of underwaters creatures and unique sites for some fabulous scuba diving. Divers of all skill levels will enjoy the remarkable underwater world near Land's End at the tip of the peninsula. The visibility can range from 50 to over 100 feet. The underwater Sand Falls discovered by Jacques Cousteau may be a diver's most vivid memory of Los Cabos. The Sand Falls, a 90 foot dive off Pelican Rock, is where the current pulls tons of sand over an undersea ledge every second creating the underwater mirror image of a waterfall.
The calm waters of Santa Maria Bay, only 20 to 60 feet deep are a fantastic spot for novice divers. The excellent visibility is great for anyone hoping to check out the ample marine life. This sheltered bay is home to sea turtles, sea bass, octopus, tropical fish and many other aquatic creatures.
In the very south of the Sea of Cortez, about 50 miles from Cabo is the amazing Cabo Pulmo. Cabo Pulmo is the only living coral reef on the western side of the continent. It is a must see for divers and snorkelers. This unique phenomenon is rich in marine life and a protected National Marine Sanctuary.
Watching the estimated 11,000 gray whales that come to Los Cabos every winter is always an unforgettable event. From January until March, these gentle underwater giants come to the shelter of the Sea of Cortez to seek refuge from the colder northern waters, and to give birth to their young. If you can't picture something that weighs 70, 000 pounds frolicking, you've never seen a gray whale leap majestically out of the water and splashing back in. A variety of boat trips and charters can take you to see the magnificent creatures surface to breathe and spray sea water into the air from their blowholes. Smaller boats can even get close enough so that you can pet the curious friendly whales, who just might be on a 'people-watching' tour of their own
The unique landscape and waterscape of Los Cabos have created an environment unlike any other. Eco-tours and boat cruises are a great way to discover the incredible array of animal and plant life. Guided hikes along pristine coastlines or into the untouched desert are available. See the unique plants, animals and birds of this wondrous region. You can also experience all of the natural splendor at your own pace by renting a mountain bike and trying out the miles of coastal trails, hills and canyons to explore. Just pack a lunch, maps, plenty of water and let the adventure begin!
Just as adventurous, but requiring less stamina, horseback riding is another great way to take in all of the rich Old Baja California ambience. If you've never had the pleasure of riding a horse along a deserted beach, don't wait a minute longer. It's an experience not to be missed!
