As you step onto the sands of Cabo San Lucas, your eyes are immediately drawn towards the iconic El Arco de Cabo San Lucas. This magnificent rock formation, shaped by time and the ceaseless currents of the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez, stand as a testament to the awe-inspiring might of nature.
Venturing closer to El Arco by boat, I had a chance to photograph the rock formation up close, in all its grandeur. It became apparent that it was not just a beautiful spectacle but a gateway where two distinct marine ecosystems meet and mingle – the sea of Cortez with the Pacific Ocean.
All around El Arco, life flourishes. Sea lions lounge leisurely on the rocky outcrops, basking in the sun’s warmth. The area also serves as an essential feeding and breeding ground for numerous bird species, including pelicans and frigatebirds who like perch on the rocks.
For five dollars the boat will drop you off on the Playa del Amor, or Lover’s Beach.
The Pacific Ocean side often referred as Divorce Beach due to the rougher water and rogue waves that hit the shore. This hidden oasis, cradled by towering rocks is a photographers dream.
