Cape San Lucas is nowadays the most important tourist center of the peninsula of Baja California. In the past it was a catering port for Spanish galleons. It offers a great hotel network of first quality, although the beaches are some smaller than those of Cancún or Puerto Vallarta.
The famous Arch, a fascinating rock formation with a hole forming an arch, is the main characteristic of Cape San Lucas and the symbol of the extreme part of the peninsula. It is reachable by boat from different points of the bay and just there, hidden by a group of rocks, is the small and quiet 'Playa del Amor' (Love's Beach). By the way, this is an ideal place for diving and snorkeling. You just need a swimming mask and a plunge to observe multiple species of colorful fishes.
Every year you can take part of a wonderful spectacle in Cape San Lucas, the arrival of blue whales from January to March. You will be able to observe, listen, and feel the beauty of these great mammals. The rest of Cape San Lucas is nightlife and fun. This small town is full of bars and discos, which seem to be the panacea of the American tourist. One more tip, Cape San Lucas is a good place for fishing.
