El Archo de Cabo San Lucas!!

/ Ed Armstrong
We have seen photos of the famous Arch of Cabo San Lucas and today we had a great tour to see it ourselves!! It is at the southern tip of the of the Baja California Peninsula! It is beautiful, and where the Pacific Ocean meets the Gulf of California (formerly Sea of Cortez).

Everyone has a great time in Cabo!! These guys had their music loud and everyone was swaying to the beat! Alcohol might be involved.

As we left the harbor, our guide showed us several caves into the rock along the coast.

At this angle, the top of the rock is in the profile of a lion’s head!!

Going farther down the coast from the marina is lovers beach. The is a popular beach for swimming that is only accessible by boat. It is beautiful and great for swimming.

From the Gulf of California is a small opening there the Pacific Ocean can be seen!! The water is much calmer in the Gulf of California than the Pacific Ocean.

This is the famous El Archo de Cabo San Lucas!! I loved looking at the ruggedness of the rock with the rich blue-green color of the water!!

As we backed away from the arch, kayakers were paddling in to see such a gorgeous site!!

Next to the arch, these sea lions were relaxing on a big rock!

This is lands end!! It is the very tip of the rock at the end of the Baja California Peninsula!! As our boat went passed this point, we moved from the Gulf of California into the Pacific Ocean!!

As we moved into the Pacific Ocean, we reached divorce beach. It has much rougher waves. It is opposite of lovers beach on the other side of the peninsula.

As we headed back down to Lands End, we could see the back side of the arch and all the boats gathered on the gulf side to view such a beautiful scene.

As we moved slightly farther south, we could see through the main arch and see the smaller opening that lead to the Gulf of California!!

Our boat driver called this cave Pirates cove!!

As we were on our way back to the marina, we passed this boat. Everyone on top was excited to have their photo taken!!

After our boat tour, we visited a glass factory in Cabo San Lucas!! It was amazing see see all the things these guys created!!

From a glob of molten glass, we watched this guy create a beautiful dolphin!!

I liked this humming bird that was for sale in their shop!!

I absolutely love the colors of Mexico!! It is such a beautiful place with so many wonderful people!!

Our next stop was a tequila shop for a tasting of a broad range of tequilas! Here, the mango flavored tequila was my favorite!!

Back in San Jose del Cabo, we ate at a wonderful restaurant. Next door was Eddies restaurant. The owner thought it was fun that my name was the same as his restaurant!! He encouraged me to take photos of several of his signs.

When traveling to other countries, I often enjoy seeing the colors of other flags. I have always loved the colors of the Mexican flag!
