Arch of Cabo San Lucas (El Arco) Tours and Tickets
19,656 Reviews
A signature landmark of Los Cabos, El Arco de Cabo San Lucas—known locally as simply “El Arco” or “the Arch”—is a limestone arch carved by time, tide, and wind. The natural attraction runs down to the water’s edge at Land’s End, the southern tip of Cabo San Lucas (which itself is at the southern end of Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula) and into the Sea of Cortez. From a distance, the rock formation looks like a dragon; up close, the arch frames sky, sea, and sand for prime photos.

People Also Ask
How do I get to El Arco?
El Arco can be reached by boat from the dock in Cabo San Lucas and other departure points such as Medano Beach. Various trips depart for El Arco from both spots, including small speedboat rides, glass-bottom boat trips, private yachts, and convenient water taxis.
...MoreCan you walk to El Arco?
No, you cannot walk to El Arco. El Arco is a rock formation located at the very tip of the Baja Peninsula. While there are several nearby beaches, you can only truly admire the Arch of Cabo San Lucas from the water.
...MoreHow old is El Arco?
El Arco is likely millions of years old, and would have formed at the same time as the Baja Peninsula itself.
...MoreCan you see the Cabo Arch from land?
No, but you can visit Lover's Beach or Divorce Beach, both of which are a short paddle from El Arco. Both beaches are only accessible by boat, however, so many tours combine a visit to the sandy shores with a detour to admire El Arco from the water.
