Morning light slices across the Sea of Cortez as a pirate-flagged vessel slips out from Cabo San Lucas Marina. Salt and coffee mingle as kids press against the rail, scanning for sea lions and the first flash of rock where Land’s End announces itself: El Arco rising like a weathered gateway. The boat motors past Pelican Rock, then drops anchor in a sheltered cove; guides brief the group, hand out masks, and the ocean seems to invite you in.
