At the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula, Cabo San Lucas is built around its dramatic rock arch, El Arco, where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez. The marina is lined with sportfishing boats and lively bars, while a short drive along the coastal corridor leads to quieter beaches, championship golf courses and the more laid-back town of San José del Cabo.

Frequently asked questions
When is the best time to visit Cabo San Lucas?
December to April offers warm, dry weather and is also whale-watching season for migrating grey and humpback whales; summer is hotter and more humid with a small hurricane risk in late season.
Can you swim at Cabo's beaches?
Some beaches, like Médano Beach, have calm swimmable water, while others on the Pacific side have strong currents — check conditions and flags before swimming.
Is Cabo good for whale watching?
Yes — boat tours run from December to April to see migrating grey and humpback whales, with sightings common just offshore.
How do I get to El Arco?
Boat tours from the marina take visitors out to see the famous arch and nearby Lover's Beach, which is only accessible by water.
Is Cabo San Lucas walkable?
The marina area and downtown are walkable, but the resort corridor stretches several kilometres, so taxis or rental cars are useful for reaching other beaches and San José del Cabo.

Drove out to San José del Cabo for the gallery walk on Thursday — much quieter and more charming than the main marina strip.
