EL ARCO AND PLAYA DE AMOR: One of Cabo's most visited landmarks is the Arch of Cabo San Lucas or El Arco. This beautiful rock formation provides the most brilliant natural training venue for cliff diving, kayaking, paddleboarding, and so much more. On the north-facing end of Land's End is Playa De Amor or Lover's Beach, where you can catch the sea lions sunbathing side and enjoy the roaring surf of the Pacific Ocean.
CABO PULMO NATIONAL PARK: Los Cabos is home to one of only three coral reefs on the whole West coast of North America, Cabo Pulmo National Park, one of Baja California's most precious protected marine areas. Here, the coral reef is considered the oldest in the American Pacific at an estimated almost 20,000 years old.
MISSION SAN JOSÉ DEL CABO CHURCH: The most historical landmark in all of Los Cabos is the Colonial-style parish church in San José. It was initially built near the beach and was later moved further inland. In 1735, five years after the mission was founded, there was a revolt among the local Pericú culture, and the missionary, Nicolás Tamaral, ended up being sacrificed. Today you can still visit the mission's church and see the tiled mural above the door depicting the events.
SAN JOSÉ DEL CABO ART WALK: Explore the vibrant culture of Los Cabos with a trip to the art district. Gallery openings, artists in attendance sessions, and live performances, are just a few of the things you can expect when you walk down the street. There are also plenty of hip wine bars and delicious farm-to-table restaurants for a fun night out on the town.
LOS CABOS MARINA AND WHALE WATCHING: This bustling marina is a hub for adventure seekers, foodies, and shoppers visiting Los Cabos. From the marina, you can leave on whale-watching tours, kayaking excursions, and luxury boat trips. Oceanfront eateries serving ceviche and tacos sit beside lively bars on a spacious boardwalk. The high-end boutiques and casual stores are a great place to go to beat the heat!
