The one thing you must do in Cabo‼️
No, it's not eat as many tacos and drink as many Mexican cokes as you can (although that's probably number 2)!
You HAVE to see the most photogenic and famous spot in all of Cabo San Lucas - El Arco.
You can go on a boat, either with group or book a private boat (big or small). They even have some boats with glass bottoms so you can check out the fish down below.
You can also choose to kayak or paddleboard out to El Arco. Prices vary depending on how many people and your preferred mode of transportation.
You can book these tours ahead of time on sites like Viator and GetYourGuide, or just walk to the marina and there’s plenty of boat captains eager to take you out.
No matter how you get there, make sure you stop to see the beach at Playa del Amor!
Also known as Lover's Beach, it’s a beautiful little secluded island paradise, perfect for sunbathing and escaping for an hour or two. And if you walk across to the other side, then you're on Divorciados Beach! 🫣
Is visiting El Arco in Cabo on your bucket list??

After experiencing the magic of El Arco and the serene beauty of Lover's Beach, I've gathered a few extra tips to make your visit even more memorable and worry-free. First, let's talk about the best time to visit this iconic landmark. I found that going in the early morning is ideal. Not only do you beat the biggest crowds, but the light for photos is absolutely incredible, casting a golden glow on the arch. Plus, the waters around El Arco tend to be calmer, making it perfect for kayaking or paddleboarding. If you're hoping to catch a glimpse of the marine life, bringing your own snorkeling gear (or renting some with your boat tour) can be a fantastic idea. When you land on Playa del Amor, also known as Lover's Beach, you'll truly feel like you've stepped into a secluded paradise. While it's perfect for sunbathing and enjoying the calm waters on the Sea of Cortez side, remember that the Pacific side (Divorciados Beach) can have strong currents, so swimming there isn't recommended. As the OCR mentions, "Bring some cash! Locals sell souvenirs here." This is absolutely true! I loved browsing the unique crafts and jewelry offered by local vendors. Having some pesos or small dollar bills handy allows you to grab a special memento and support the local economy directly. Now, about making your entire Cabo trip smooth and enjoyable. While exploring such a vibrant destination, it's natural to have general safety in mind. To ensure your vacation is as relaxing as possible, here are some practical tips I always follow: Stay Informed, Not Alarmed: Keep an eye on reputable travel advisories for general information about any destination, but don't let general news overshadow the welcoming atmosphere of Cabo. Tourist areas are actively managed for visitor enjoyment and safety. Reputable Transportation: For getting around beyond your El Arco tour, always use official taxis or trusted ride-sharing apps. If you're booking other excursions, stick to well-reviewed operators like those found on Viator or GetYourGuide to ensure a safe and professional experience. Safeguard Valuables: Basic travel smarts apply here. Be mindful of your belongings in crowded areas and consider utilizing your hotel safe for important documents, passports, and excess cash. Only carry what you need for the day. Hydration and Sun Protection: Cabo's sunshine is powerful. Drink plenty of bottled water throughout the day, reapply high-SPF sunscreen often, and wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses. Staying hydrated prevents heatstroke and ensures you have the energy to explore. Respect Local Culture: A little politeness goes a long way. Learning a few basic Spanish phrases like "Hola" (Hello) and "Gracias" (Thank you) will be appreciated. Always ask permission before taking photos of individuals. Emergency Preparedness: Have your hotel's contact information readily available, know the local emergency number, and keep details of your travel insurance accessible, just in case. By following these simple steps, you're set for an incredible and worry-free adventure in Cabo San Lucas, making memories that will last a lifetime, especially at the breathtaking El Arco and charming Lover's Beach!
