Our first impression of Cabo San Lucas was that the marina and town, though picturesque, seemed over-developed and Americanized. We decided to find a beach to enjoy the crystalline water, taking a cab to the Melia resort hotel. We inquired at the concierge desk about using the resort’s pool and beach facility, and were graciously invited in. The hotel was beautiful and the beach was our favorite of the entire trip. Directly across the bay from Los Arcos, we had amazing views of these rocky outcroppings as well as of the Mercury. We swam in the perfect water surrounded by schools of colorful fish, then enjoyed yet another savory meal at the hotel’s patio café.

Water taxis to Los Arcos and Lover’s Beach (one of the only beaches in the world which opens onto two seas) left directly from the public beach next to the Melia. We hopped a water taxi, expecting merely transportation, and were pleasantly surprised to get a glass-bottom boat tour amongst the rock formations in the bargain. Truly magnificent scenery with the raging Pacific on one side and the calmer Sea of Cortez on the other. We prearranged for our water taxi to pick us up after a quiet hour on Lover’s Beach. He was right on time, and delivered us straight to our tender pick-up in the Marina.
