I. What Is Land’s End, and Why Does Every Cabo Trip Start Here?
If you’ve seen a photo of Los Cabos, chances are it was taken here. Land’s End (El Arco) is where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez, creating one of the most dramatic natural landmarks in Mexico. It’s the visual signature of Cabo San Lucas.
This is also where you’ll find Lover’s Beach and Divorce Beach. Lover’s Beach is calm and swimmable, perfect for a relaxed stop. Divorce Beach, on the Pacific side, is stunning but rough. It’s amazing for photos, but not for swimming unless you enjoy strong currents and adrenaline.
The best time to visit? Early morning for fewer crowds, or late afternoon when the light turns golden. You can admire Land’s End from viewpoints in Cabo San Lucas or get closer by boat.
II. Which Scenic Drives Around Los Cabos Are Actually Worth Your Time?
These are the ones that are actually worth leaving your poolside lounger for:
The Tourist Corridor (Cabo San Lucas to San José del Cabo)
This stretch delivers maximum views with minimal effort. Ocean on one side, desert hills on the other, and plenty of pull-offs for beaches like Chileno and Santa Maria. It’s perfect if you want a scenic view without committing your entire day.
The East Cape Road (San José del Cabo)
This is where Cabo starts feeling wild in the best way, with fewer resorts, quieter beaches, and long coastal stretches that feel untouched.
The Pacific Coast Route (Cabo San Lucas to Todos Santos)
Big waves, dramatic cliffs, and sunsets that make you forget what time it is. This route is especially popular during golden hour, and yes, it earns the hype.
All of these drives are easy to enjoy, but they’re even better when you’re not watching for wildlife or wondering if that turn was the right one.
