El Arco (The Arch)

The iconic rock arch at the tip of the Baja peninsula, marking the point where the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez converge — free to view from the water, and Cabo San Lucas's most recognizable sight.

Local perspective

The natural granite arch where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez — Los Cabos' single most photographed landmark, and the reason "Cabo" appears on postcards at all. Reach it by a short water taxi or glass-bottom boat from the Marina, or by boat tour that circles the arch and the sea-lion colony on the rocks nearby.
