Cabo San Lucas is our final port of call. Situated at "Land's End" and dividing the Pacific Ocean from the Sea of Cortex, Cabo is a resort and fisherman's paradise. Over the years the port area has blossomed with shops, restaurants and bars to entertain the "weary" cruise passenger. Cruise guests are greeted by the familar Los Arcos rock formation. Many times I have stood on deck in the early morning to gaze at the formation as the sunlight hits the rocks. It is a very tranquil scene and one that I never tire of. Speeding pass the ship are sport fishing boats on their way to find the right spot for the big catch. I also keep my eyes open for whales. Every time I have visited Cabo I have been able to spot them from the ship. 
This is the view of Lover's Beach. It is located on the calm waters of the Sea of Cortez. Looking through the gap you can view Divorce Beach where the crashing waves of the Pacific beat the beach creating a hazardous undertow. Once you visit their you understand how the beaches got their names.
Downtown Cabo San Lucas has many local shops and bars. It is worth walking around. There are also resorts where you can enjoy their beach amenities. San Jose Del Cabo is about a 30 minute drive north. It is the "quiet and quaint" Mexican Village. It has cobblestone streets and many local artisans. If your ship is in port long enough I would recommend heading there. All vessels anchor in the Sea of Cortez and tender passengers ashore. Just remember to get back to the tender terminal on time or the ship might leave without you.
Cabo has much to offer. You can chose to golf or go on an ATV adventure. Take a whale watching trip or go snorkeling or diving. Hang out at the beach or just lounge on the ship and enjoy the view. What will your Cabo expierence be?
