More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The boat slips away from Marina Cabo San Lucas and the city noise thins to a warm hum. Salt air sharpens the light; cliffs of layered granite push up from the Pacific and the Sea of Cortez, daring you to come close. Within minutes the iconic arch—El Arco—appears, a natural gateway sculpted by wind and tide where sea lions bellow from sun-warmed rocks and breakers sketch white lines along the shore.
