Land's End is an iconic rock formation in Los Cabos, where the desert meets the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of California.
Land's End, known as the Arch of Cabo San Lucas, is accessible 24 hours a day year-round, but visiting during daylight is recommended for safety. You can get there on foot from the Cabo San Lucas Marina (about 20 minutes along rocky trails) or on a boat tour departing daily from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.; for more details, visit the official tourism website at Visit Cabo.
The view of the Arch from land is free, but for full access by sea, boat tours cost between 50 and 100 USD per person, depending on duration and extras such as snorkeling. Children pay half price; check updated prices on Viator or with local operators at the marina.
It is recommended to allow at least 1 to 2 hours to enjoy the views, take photos, and have a short walk around the area, extending to 3 to 4 hours if you include a boat tour with stops at nearby beaches. It is ideal for a relaxed morning or afternoon excursion.
Land's End marks the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula, a geological landmark formed by erosion millions of years ago that symbolized the 'end of the world' for Spanish explorers in the 16th century. Culturally, it is an icon of Los Cabos, representing the meeting of land with the Pacific and the Gulf of California, and it appears in local legends about eternal love at Lover's Beach.
The best time is during the dry season from October to May, avoiding the extreme summer heat; choose sunrise or sunset for magical light and fewer crowds. On clear days, sunset offers spectacular views of the sun disappearing behind the Arch.
Access by land involves uneven rocky trails, which makes it challenging for wheelchairs, but many boat tours offer accessible options with ramps and adapted seating. Contact operators at the Cabo San Lucas Marina (phone: +52 624 143 3700) to confirm specific accommodations.
Nearby you will find Lover's Beach and Divorce Beach, ideal for snorkeling and relaxing, just a few minutes away by boat. You can also explore the Cabo San Lucas Marina with its restaurants and shops, or the Fisherman's Monument a 10-minute walk away; for a full itinerary, visit Visit Cabo.
Bring sunscreen, water, and comfortable shoes for the trails; book tours in advance during high season to avoid waiting. If you are traveling in a group, consider hiring a local guide for additional stories, and respect the protected area by avoiding touching the rock formations.
