When to go to Cabo San Lucas?
Where the Baja peninsula runs out of land, El Arco stands carved by Pacific swell, and the boats out to it leave from the Cabo San Lucas marina. Lover's Beach sits in its shadow, a strip of sand between the rock and the open water. From December to April the surrounding waters fill with migrating whales, close enough to watch from the boat rail.
