Sportfishing

Besides the championship marlin, game fish such as the dorado, wahoo, yellowtail, and roosterfish abound in these waters. Thus there are several major fishing tournaments held each year in Cabo San Lucas, including the Bisbee Black and Blue Marlin, and For Pete's Sake.

Both full-day fishing charters and smaller pangas for half day excursions are available.top

Diving & Snorkeling

Cabo San Lucas - Diving The waters of Cabo San Lucas are so pure that visibility can reach depths of 120 feet. Water temperatures average in the 70’s and low 80’s. Several shipwrecks, caves and canyon dives are available, two of the most popular being Cabo Pulmo and Sand Falls. The National Marine Reserve of Cabo Pulmo in the East Cape offers shallow water dives amid schools of colorful fish on a live coral reef (the only one found on North America's west coast). Just off the tip of Land's End is Sand Falls, first discovered by Jacques Cousteau. This deep, 90 foot water dive offers a glimpse of some of the world’s most beautiful large tropical fish. There are also more intimate coves and beaches for snorkeling, including beautiful Santa Maria Bay, Playa Palmilla, Chilleno Bay, and the famous Playa del Amor (Lover's Beach).
