Just offshore from Land's End, this rocky outcrop is a favorite perch for pelicans and sea lions and one of the best snorkeling and diving spots in Cabo, with a steep underwater wall known as the Cabo San Lucas Canyon.

Know before you go

  • Snorkel tours from the marina typically stop here alongside the arch and Lover's Beach.
  • Look down as much as out — the underwater drop-off just past the rock is the main draw for divers.
  • Morning trips tend to have calmer water and better underwater visibility.
