The boat slips away from the marina slow and steady, prop wash whispering against the hull as the skyline of Cabo San Lucas recedes. Salt stings your lips and a wind hustles the low clouds; to starboard, the Arch—El Arco—juts from the sea like a weathered gate. Cameras click, but the real show is the water: glass-clear pockets around Pelican Rock where fish dart like coins, and the shallow shelf of Lovers Beach where the surf plays at your ankles.
