Land’s End Cabo

Land’s End is the anglicized name of the famous arches that adorn postcards and advertisements of Los Cabos, Mexico, known in Spanish as El Arco. This beloved monument in Cabo is one of the most popular tours for visitors. Land’s End Cabo is a geographical wonder and also a great spot for family adventures and activities.

Why is it called Land’s End?

El Arco marks the southernmost point of Baja California, Mexico. Like other "Land’s Ends" around the world, its appearance gives the impression of being at the very tip of the peninsula. Locals claim that the first sailors who visited the area during the Age of Discovery and the Golden Age of Piracy called it Land’s End because they believed it was the last piece of land before reaching Antarctica. (Good thing accurate maps were developed later!)

Geographical Features of El Arco

Land’s End is home to El Arco, a remarkable rock formation that emerges from the sea at the tip of the Baja California Peninsula, just off the coast of Cabo San Lucas. In addition to its beauty, El Arco marks the point where the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez (Gulf of California) meet.

What can you do at Land’s End?

At Land’s End, you’ll find two beaches: Lovers Beach and Divorce Beach. At Lovers Beach, you can swim, sunbathe, snorkel, and more, while Divorce Beach is visually stunning but not safe for swimming due to strong currents.

How to get to Land’s End?

You can arrange various tours through your hotel’s agents or go directly to the Cabo Marina and choose the tour operator that appeals most to you. If you prefer a budget-friendly option on your own, water taxis—some with glass bottoms—depart regularly from the marina.
