Cabo San Lucas Sea Lion Colony
22° 52.6′ N · 109° 53.6′ W
A resident colony of California sea lions that hauls out on the rocks around El Arco and plays with divers and snorkelers in the shallows.
Practical
Coordinate is the 'Lands End' islet mapped in OpenStreetMap at the tip. Watch from a respectful distance; do not land on the rocks. Dive Cabo's Land's End site (intermediate to advanced) has playful sea-lion encounters, cow-nose rays and the remains of the 'Nürnberg' wreck at about 40 ft. Strong surge where Pacific swell wraps the point.
Best for
Sea lions at arm's length
