3. The Arch

At the tip of the Baja Peninsula stands a craggy rock formation, in the shape of an arch, that towers over the ocean.

The arch has been carved over time, as rough winds and the waters of the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez erode the rocks away. This part of the Baja Peninsula, also known as Land’s End, is one of the most popular attractions in Cabo San Lucas.
