Our City Expert's Tips


This is perhaps the most famous and most photographed area of Los Cabos. Known as "Land's End," the Arch has to be explored by boat. It will look different from various angles and at different times of day. From one position it looks much like a dinosaur taking a drink of water.

Where the Expert Goes
This is one of our favorite spots and is great for taking photos, sketching, and just exploring the nearby rock formations and local wildlife that includes pelicans, sea lions. and whales (in season).

Must See
Any trip to Los Cabos has to include a visit to the arch. This is the southernmost tip of Baja, which leads right down to a little rock protrusion known as "The Point."

Cupid (Romantic)
There are several vendors that offer sunset cruises to the arch. This is very romantic, especially at sunset and later when the moon is up and reflecting off the water.
