For MLK long weekend I went to Cabo San Lucas in Baja California Sur. This is El Arco. My favorite place near Cabo San Lucas.

The weathered rocks at the tip of the cape are beautiful and otherworldly. They rise steeply out of the hard, large-grained yellow sand and in some cases, straight out of deep water, creating a pinnacle habitat for wildlife across different depths.

The desert flora is beautiful. There were many species of cacti and thorny shrubs, and this tiny beach creeper, which I didn't recognize.

| Unknown beach flower - any idea what this is? |
Even though there there aren't large growths of stony coral around Cabo, there are many familiar reef fishes. Including this puffed up
Arothron meleagris we found by the jumping rocks.

Awesome rock formations :) Jealous of your travels. I need to get around more...
Yeah, I like Cabo. It's pretty easy to get to, definitely very touristy but if you want to get out away from town and crowds you certainly can.
That looks so cool. I want to visit sometime.
My number one recommendation for Mexico is the Caribbean coast between Playa del Carmen and Tulum, but that's kind of a long way from the west coast.
