Snorkel Fun with Lunch in Cabo Explore Eat and Enjoy

The Crown Jewel of Cabo’s Coastline
As your ship sails toward the southernmost tip of Baja California, you’ll encounter El Arco — Cabo San Lucas’s most iconic natural landmark. This dramatic granite arch rises from the sea where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez, forming a breathtaking gateway known as Land’s End.

Guests will marvel at:

Towering rock formations sculpted by centuries of wind and waves

The sea lion colony lounging on nearby rocks, often barking and basking in the sun

Pelican Rock, a favorite perch for seabirds and a snorkeler’s paradise

The shifting light on the arch — golden at sunrise, shimmering by midday

The sense of standing at the edge of the continent, where desert cliffs plunge into turquoise waters

Whether you're snapping photos, sipping coffee, or preparing to snorkel, this moment at El Arco is amazing— a perfect blend of adventure, beauty, and myth. Some say it’s where the sea whispers secrets to the land. Others just call it magic.

After your pirate ship anchors in the calm, protected waters of Chileno Bay, guests will slip into a snorkeler’s paradise — one of Cabo’s most beloved Blue Flag beaches, celebrated for its crystal-clear visibility, gentle currents, and abundant marine life.

As you float above the reef, you’ll witness:

Rocky outcrops and coral-covered boulders that form dramatic underwater canyons and sand gullies

Schools of tropical fish weaving through the reef — including angelfish, sergeant majors, and parrotfish

Porcupinefish, pufferfish, and boxfish, often spotted near the overhangs and vertical rock walls

Sea turtles and rays gliding gracefully through the shallows (if you're lucky!)

Sunlight dancing across the reef, illuminating the textures and colors of this vibrant ecosystem

Whether you're a first-time snorkeler or a seasoned explorer, Chileno Bay offers a safe, serene, and unforgettable glimpse into the Sea of Cortez’s underwater magic. It’s not just a swim — it’s a moment of awe.

Just beyond the serenity of Lovers Beach lies Divorce Beach — a wild, windswept shoreline where the Pacific Ocean meets the granite cliffs of Cabo San Lucas. Known locally as Playa del Divorcio, this beach is not safe for swimming due to powerful currents and crashing waves, but it offers something just as compelling: solitude, symbolism, and stunning views.

Guests will experience:

Towering rock formations that frame the beach in dramatic contrast to the calm bay side

Golden sand and deep blue surf, perfect for sunbathing, photography, and quiet reflection

A symbolic divide — Lovers Beach faces the tranquil Sea of Cortez, while Divorce Beach faces the untamable Pacific

A sense of standing at the edge of the continent, where land and sea wrestle for dominance

Whether viewed from the pirate ship or explored on foot, Divorce Beach adds emotional depth and visual grandeur to any Cabo adventure. It’s not just a beach — it’s a metaphor in motion.

Santa Maria Bay: A Hidden Cove of Coral and Calm
On select days, your ship anchors in the protected crescent of Santa Maria Bay — a marine sanctuary known for its gentle waves, vibrant reefs, and aquamarine clarity. Nestled between rocky headlands, this bay offers a tranquil escape and a stunning underwater world.

Guests will experience:

Snorkeling above coral gardens teeming with tropical fish, sea fans, and colorful rock formations

Gentle, sandy entry points perfect for beginners and families

Angelfish, butterflyfish, and wrasses darting through the reef like living confetti

Occasional sightings of sea turtles and rays, gliding through the shallows

A peaceful, protected cove ideal for floating, exploring, and soaking in the serenity

Whether you're snorkeling, sunbathing, or simply gazing into the turquoise shallows, Santa Maria Bay offers a moment of quiet wonder — a perfect contrast to the high-seas adventure of your ship.

Pelican Rock: Cabo’s Living Reef
Just off the coast of Land’s End, Pelican Rock rises from the sea like a jagged sentinel — a favorite perch for seabirds above and a thriving reef below. This snorkeling site is part of the protected Cabo San Lucas Marine Park and offers exceptional visibility, gentle currents, and a kaleidoscope of marine life.

Guests will experience:

Snorkeling among coral-covered boulders and volcanic rock formations

Colorful tropical fish like angelfish, sergeant majors, and parrotfish weaving through the reef

Sea stars, urchins, and anemones nestled in crevices and tide-washed ledges

Occasional sightings of rays and sea turtles, especially near the deeper drop-offs

Above-water views of pelicans and frigatebirds, circling and diving for fish

Whether you’re floating above the reef or watching the birds from deck, Pelican Rock offers a vivid, immersive experience — a place where the sea comes alive in every direction.
