5 Fulfilling Los Cabos Recommendations
1. Discover El Arco and its Rich History
A landmark that truly embodies Los Cabos, El Arco is a majestic 200-foot rock formation rising out of the sea. Naturally sculpted by powerful ocean currents, the site was once a hiding place for pirates hoping to prey on passing ships. Today, it’s one of the most picturesque spots on the peninsula, and a great place to spend time with family.
Boat trips to El Arco start from the Marina, just 5 miles from Sirena del Mar. A tour provides plenty of opportunities to make memories that complement the beautiful El Arco photos soon to be in your camera roll. Accompanied by expert guides, you’ll also learn about the fascinating history this rock formation has witnessed.
2. Fall for Lover's Beach
After your trip to El Arco, make a stop at Lover ’s Beach (Playa de los Amantes) to experience the tranquil waves and vibrant marine life. The scenic cove is the last beach overlooking the Sea of Cortez before reaching the Pacific Ocean, and it’s surrounded by unforgettable rock formations that help keep the sea calm. It’s a great spot for a swim and snorkel, offering views of multicolored fish and other sea life living in harmony in the waters they call home.
On a tour, you can also try out other snorkeling sites like Pelican Rock, or add kayaking, paddleboarding, or even power snorkeling to your itinerary. You may also pass the nearby Divorce Beach (Playa del Divorcio), named for its volatile tides that contrast so strikingly with those of Lover’s Beach and that make swimming prohibited here.
3. Stroll the Town Plaza
Just 5 miles from Sirena del Mar is the lively town of Cabo San Lucas. You'll find plenty of restaurants, cafes, bars, and shops near the tree-lined Amelia Wilkes Plaza, named after a cherished teacher and politician who helped develop the city's public water system. The plaza is a wonderful place to kick back and people-watch under the shade of the trees or beneath the traditional bandstand.
Just across the street is Iglesia de San Lucas, a historic Spanish mission chapel built in 1730. The building retains its original style and authentic architecture even after undergoing renovations.
