It probably comes as no surprise that some of Cabo’s best sightseeing opportunities revolve around the beach. Beyond beach hopping between world-class beaches, Cabo also has a charming downtown, a vibrant marine reserve, and dramatic mountains. Come explore Cabo sightseeing and some of the most exciting attractions!
Sightseeing in Cabo San Lucas – Explore the Sea
Perhaps one of the most famed sights in Cabo is El Archo, The Arch, a natural rock formation that juts out into the sea. It’s easy to catch a glass-bottomed boat to The Arch from Medano Beach through companies such as Fun Cabo or Baja Water Sports, adding an extra element of fun and interest along the way. Once you’ve arrived, snorkel through the underwater world alongside tropical fish and sea turtles and watch the sea lion colony lazing nearby. The Arch provides a great backdrop for capturing some amazing photos of you and your friends or family!
Useful Links for Cabo Sightseeing!
Explore Along the Shoreline
You can’t go wrong with any of Cabo’s beaches, offering numerous options for exploring long stretches of soft white sand. One beach that provides a particularly unique experience is Balandra Beach, a shallow cove surrounded by low, rolling mountains. This beach is situated a short drive outside of Cabo, but it’s well worth the time and effort. The water here is incredibly clear and glassy, providing picture-perfect conditions. Even at high tide, the water at Balandra Beach rarely reaches above your waste, allowing you to cross the entire cove by water to explore the various sides. The calm, shallow conditions make this a great beach for families traveling with children, but it’s also ideal just for its natural beauty. If you’d rather not self-navigate, book a tour through operators such as Sun Rider Tours, who include a stop at Balandra via their 33-foot catamaran. This is some of the best sightseeing in Cabo San Lucas!
Explore the Town
Downtown San Jose del Cabo features charming cobblestone streets and a picturesque main square. Take some time to explore the architecture, shops, restaurants, and quaint art district located here. The old church present in the square gives an idea of what the area was like before Cabo became a major tourist destination. Free Tour Cabo even offers guided tours of San Jose del Cabo, allowing you to learn more about the area’s culture and history through tales of Indians, pirates, and Spanish conquistadors.
