Best Things to Do in Cabo San Lucas

Sandos Finisterra sits at Land’s End — literally where the Pacific Ocean crashes into the Sea of Cortez, right next to the famous Arch of Cabo San Lucas. You can see it from the resort.

Cabo is a completely different experience from the Riviera Maya. Instead of jungle cenotes and Mayan ruins, you get desert-meets-ocean landscapes, world-class fishing, whale watching, and Baja’s rugged beauty. The vibe is more laid-back, the terrain is dramatic, and the marine life is extraordinary.

Things to Do in Cabo San Lucas: The Complete Guide for Resort Guests

Cabo San Lucas isn’t just a beach — it’s a desert-meets-ocean collision at the very tip of the Baja Peninsula where the Pacific Ocean slams into the Sea of Cortez. You’ve got world-class fishing, humpback whales breaching off the coast, camels walking through the desert, and a downtown marina that comes alive after dark. If you’re staying at Sandos Finisterra, you’re in one of the best spots in town — perched on the cliffs at Land’s End, walking distance from the marina and downtown.

Over my multiple stays, I’ve explored nearly everything worth doing in this Caribbean destination, and I’m here to share the insider knowledge you need to make the most of every moment.
