Here are a few Los Cabos places you don’t want to miss.
Land’s End
Land’s end is one of the most iconic Los Cabos places. It’s here you will the famed Arch of Cabos San Lucas, rock formations created by the wind and ocean water of the southern Baja Peninsula. It’s voted the most romantic place to watch the sunset. You’re sure to see seal lions since they frequent the area. Travelers agree, its the best place to take photographs. To get to Land’s End you must go by boat tour or water taxi. Some boat tours have glass-bottomed boats allowing you to check out the marine life below.
Playa del Amor
Playa del Amor, also known as Lover’s Beach is Cabo’s most famous part of the shoreline. Lover’s Beach is a favorite place for views and sunbathing. It is south of the downtown area, but you also must get there via the water. A water taxi can easily take you there from the marina. It’s secluded with no bathrooms or bars, but don’t miss spending some time in this idyllic spot. You’ll see why it’s called Lover’s Beach.
Chileno Beach
Travelers say Chileno Beach, with its calm, shallow waters is the best Los Cabos place for snorkelers. You’ll find Chileno Beach along the Corridor highway about nine miles northeast of Cabo San Lucas. Another thing that attracts people to this beach is the quiet atmosphere. There are no restaurants or noisy bars so you’ll have to pack food drinks for a visit to Chileno Beach. Everyone who goes there says the snorkeling and abundance of colorful fish make it well worth the inconvenience,
