The Best Places to Elope in Los Cabos
The Arch at Land's End, the calm Sea of Cortez bays, the sculptural Baja desert, and the colonial art district of San Jose. Where desert meets ocean, four ways.
Couples picture Los Cabos as one beach with a famous rock.
It is a desert, two oceans, and a colonial town, all in twenty minutes of road.
Los Cabos is where the Baja desert meets the sea, and it photographs four completely different ways. Pick the feeling, and the place follows.

Land's End, where the peninsula ends and the Pacific meets the Sea of Cortez, holds the Arch, a thirty-metre granite formation, with boat-only Lovers Beach inside it. The Sea of Cortez side gives calm turquoise bays; the Pacific side gives dramatic surf.

The desert and San Jose
Inland, the sculptural Baja desert, cardon cactus, golden rock, arid mountains, gives a cinematic, Southwest-like landscape at the ends of the day. And San Jose del Cabo's colonial centre and art district are the quiet, cultural counterpoint to the marina energy of Cabo San Lucas.
The right place depends on what the photographs need to hold. As your Elopement Curator I plan the day, charter the boat and arrange the vendors, and both shoot and film it. Twelve years and 240+ couples in, the best Cabo elopements pair the desert and the ocean in a single day.
