There were a number of caves out amongst the rocks, some of which are are shallow like the one to the left, but others are more substantial like the one above and below.

We loved this rock, which has obviously shifted during an earthquake, but not too recently, because the creases in the stone were formed during a later era. >>

And so we reach Lovers' Beach which spans the distance from the bay to the Pacific. Except for a local couple we are alone...

<< Looking back out of this cave, the stones making up the arch look like a horse and a buffalo butting heads.

You can see why these are called golden beaches...

After exploring the beach from one side to the other, it's time to head back... and just in time, as the tourist boats bring bunches of people. Even though the tide is somewhat lower as we make our way back along the beaches, it's still an adventure. Here I hang on to the rock as the swell rushes through this narrow channel. As we go by Pelican Rock, the boats are jammed in there. We can't imagine how the diving could be much good here with all the other people around and with this amount of traffic on one day, the site must be over-dived.   This Saguaro cactus is probably well over 100 years old. These turkey vultures work on a fish.

As we come back into civilization I had untucked my gauze pants so they were long pants again and put my shirt back on so I was more presentable, if a little damp. Here, you can find just about any type of boat trip, the market places are now open, and the beaches here are full of people. 

This is the marlin fishing capital of the world. This statue commemorates the largest one ever caught. Meanwhile, Mariachis serenade diners.  

We love these sidewalk cafes off on side streets and we'll come back to the one with the rustic roof over its sidewalk.

We had asked directions to a park and this one was cute. We sat on a shaded bench for a spell. 

There was a nice tiled gazebo and a whale skeleton.  Then we continued walking the town.

This restaurant had a people theme: look at at the backs of the bar stools and the banister. 

We found this small, quaint church. The broken tablet outside the main entrance tells the history in English and Spanish. 

I was suffering from hat hair, but is was nice to sit in this sidewalk cafe to enjoy a cold beer far from the madding crowds. In the next restaurant up the sidewalk, someone took a clue from Key West with their mile marker 0. This is the southernmost tip of Baja, so the principle is the same.

We head back to the tender dock and take a hot shower with our clothes on to rinse away the salt water.  Then we are ready for the sail away.

This photo shows the overall view of the trip up the beaches and over the rocks to Lovers' Beach. What a great adventure.

Two views of the famous archway. We did not get this far, but had it been low tide we could have made it.

Adios, Cabo San Lucas. It's been fun!
