Millennia ago, Cabo San Lucas was part of the Mexican mainland. Then a massive rupture of the San Andreas Fault sent the waters of the Pacific crashing into the newly formed depression, creating the Sea of Cortez and the Baja Peninsula. Lying at the very tip of Baja, where the Pacific meets the Sea of Cortez, is Cabo San Lucas - or "Cabo".
If you take a water taxi from the Cabo San Lucas harbor to Land's End, you will see an array of towering rock formations. There are several formations worth seeing between 'The Arch' and 'Playa del Amor', a popular honeymoon destination, including two huge rock islets. Other rock formations near Land's End in Cabo include 'Roca Pelicanos' (Pelican Rock), a smaller rocky outcrop located off the northeast side of the cape.
The series of rugged rocks in the Pacific, which reaches Alaska's Aleutian Islands, is known by the locals as the Finisterra. They were used as a hiding place by pirates, who would ambush and plunder merchant ships heading toward the west coast.
