Cabo San Lucas sits at the dramatic tip of the Baja peninsula, where the desert meets the sea. It’s a tender port, and the icons — the El Arco rock arch, Lover’s Beach and playful sea lions — are best seen from the water.
Best things to do on your cruise
El Arco and Lover’s Beach cruise. Glass-bottom and catamaran boats cruise to the famous arch at Land’s End, past sea lion colonies to the beach where the Pacific meets the Sea of Cortez.
Snorkeling at Santa María or Chileno Bay. These protected coves have calm, clear water and abundant fish — the best snorkeling near Cabo.
Sunset sail with open bar. If your ship stays late, a relaxed catamaran sail with drinks and Land’s End views is a memorable finish.
Tips for your port day
- Tender boats drop you in the marina, walkable to shops and restaurants.
- The Pacific side has strong currents — swim only where guides advise.
- Water is calmest in the morning.
