Cabo San Lucas sits at the tip of the Baja Peninsula, where the desert runs straight into the sea and the granite arch of El Arco marks the meeting of the Pacific and the Sea of Cortez. It is a standard stop on Mexican Riviera itineraries, with dry sunshine most of the year, sport-fishing charters, and a marina lined with restaurants and beach clubs.
