CABO SAN LUCAS_Here we are, at the resort city located on the tip of the Baja Peninsula, and the day couldn't be more perfect.
Gorgeous blue skies, crystalline waters and wind to fill our sails. We tendered off Carnival Miracle for the "Luxury Day Sail" on one of the Cabo Adventures' yachts. There are about 20 other guests joining us for a half-day excursion. We'll sail past Cabo's most famous rock formation, "El Arco -- the Arch" and then to a beach for a picnic at sea and swimming. Gourmet snacks and lunch are included, as well as drinks. Are you ready to set sail? Let's go! |

This is Lover's Beach, where the waters are relatively calm. On the other side is Divorce Beach, where the Pacific Ocean is much rougher. Cabo is where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific Ocean.
