Take a water taxi boat to Land’s End and Lover’s Beach

Walk around the Cabo San Lucas Marina

[{"selector":"#anim-64d557c0-2bf6-4768-9067-d051c2dcf8c9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e811efdd-2af2-46af-8876-74567d5f1fea","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(100.00000%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Aside from all the lavish yachts you can gawk, you can shop, sip a margarita and have a bite to eat while watching the snoozing pelicans nearby.

Swim at Medano Beach

[{"selector":"#anim-dedbbd2c-6c0b-4820-87a4-75ac4a7b1dbe","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2afd45f8-7a07-40c8-ba79-52ca4c5bac05","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(100.00000%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] If you’d rather have a little more peace and tranquility, just walk along the beach heading away from the marina – it gets quieter as you go further.

Hike up the Pedregal

[{"selector":"#anim-7b044809-5edd-441f-b8b4-8b9fb97ae8bc","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0e7823f3-f323-4ea5-bcb1-b9abfdb23bf6","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(100.00000%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] You’ll see the marina, where the Pacific meets the Sea of Cortez, cruise ships and mega million-dollar villas owned by the rich and famous.
