Newly Protected Area at Pelican Rock / Lover’s Beach in Cabo San Lucas Bay
Our friends at Cabo Sails report that buoys have been set up around Pelican Rock in Cabo San Lucas Bay as part of the National Marine Park effort to protect this precious marine habitat from motorized boats. Placement of the buoys originally began in November, but now the buoys completely prevent access by motorized boats in the area between Lover’s Beach and Pelican Rock.

Where To Vacation Swimmingly in Cabo
While Cabo’s all about that winning combination of golden beaches and the impossibly turquoise sea, many visitors are surprised to know that a lot of the Los Cabos coastline simply isn’t recommended for swimming.

However, there are a few wonderful spots where gentle beaches invite you to take a dip and play in some of the world’s most pristine waters.
