The famous 'El Arco' of Cabo San Lucas
Let’s begin where it all starts: the very tip of the peninsula where the Pacific ocean meets the Sea of Cortez. Here is the famous Arco of San Lucas: a delicately arching piece of rock that forms Land’s End, the end of thousands of miles of Baja coastline. Tucked right behind the arch is the romantically inclined Lover’s Beach, named because this stretch of sand “kisses” two oceans. For a few dollars, you can hop on a little water taxi, tell your captain when you’d like to be picked up (don’t worry, he’ll be there!) and enjoy a unique experience of swimming in two oceans, just a few feet from each other. The Sea of Cortez side is best for swimming,
and be careful on the Pacific side, as waves and currents can be strong
(if you’re not sure, ask your water taxista).
San Lucas’s famous Medano Beach is a must for
partygoers and people watchers. Restaurants and beach clubs line the
shore, and jet skis, water taxis and more zip out from the coast. This
is spring break central, where the beach is best enjoyed with a tequila
shot in hand. Check out some of the beach clubs here: you’ll know them
by the music (choose from loud and raucous to chill-out electronica),
the wide umbrellas and lounge chairs. But the great thing about Medano,
easily the most accessible beach in San Lucas, is it’s size. If you’re
not into carousing during the daylight hours, simply take a walk down
this powdery stretch of sand. Away from the action, you’ll find it’s a
great place to bring families, or watch a spectacular sunset as the sun
dips below the arch. The water here is excellent for swimming: boats
and water vehicles all enter and exit the water at carefully designated
zones, and the tranquil water is perfect for children. Medano Beach has
a little something for everyone, and is worth checking out.
Endless shopping and dining options are offered
in Cabo San Lucas. The Marina offers a shopping mall called “Puerto
Paraiso” where you can find the “Luxury Avenue” filled with the most
exclusive where names like Carolina Herrera, Coach, Cartier, Ermenegildo
Zegna, Tiffany & Co., Fendi and others are located. If after
shopping you feel hungry and want to spoil yourself with a nice dinner,
you’re in the right place. San Lucas offers many cuisine options that
can adjust to your budget. Seafood is always fresh, Mexican food is
never a bad choice, or any other cuisine is always available to satisfy
your appetite. If you have some extra energy left for the night you
might want to enjoy the many nightlife options offered, that go from
chill out places to clubs where hardcore party people are found all year
round.
