The clear-hull boat slips away from Cabo San Lucas Marina and the bay opens like a map. Through the transparent floor the sea seems to breathe — schools of tropical fish flitting beneath the hull while the boat threads between stacked rocks and sea-sculpted cliffs. El Arco, the limestone arch at Land’s End, rises ahead, an angular gateway where the Pacific and the Sea of Cortez rub shoulders and currents push salt-sprayed air across your face.

El Arco and Land’s End are the result of marine erosion on sedimentary rock; Cabo’s harbor grew from fishing roots into a modern tourist port while retaining a strong local fishing culture.
Conservation
The Sea of Cortez is a biodiversity hotspot; visitors should avoid touching coral, use reef-safe sunscreen, and pack out all trash to limit impact.
