Cabo San Lucas Cruise Port, Cabo San Lucas

The Cabo San Lucas Cruise Port, situated at the southernmost tip of Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula, welcomes thousands of cruise passengers each year to its vibrant marina. Though there is no traditional cruise terminal, ships anchor offshore in the scenic bay near the iconic Arch of Cabo San Lucas, one of the region's most famous natural landmarks. Passengers arrive at the Tender Pier, located within the bustling Cabo Marina, by small tender boats. This direct drop-off means visitors are instantly immersed in the town’s lively atmosphere, with easy access to dining, shopping, and local attractions.

Once ashore, visitors can enjoy a beautiful pedestrian pathway that wraps around the marina, offering views of yachts, fishing boats, and waterfront cafés. Since the pier is so centrally located, there’s no need for a shuttle to explore the town. A short walk leads to beaches, bars, craft markets, and adventure tour providers offering activities like snorkeling, whale watching, and glass-bottom boat rides. The absence of a formal cruise terminal adds to the relaxed, resort-like vibe of the port, allowing passengers to start exploring the moment they step onto land.

For those looking to explore beyond Cabo San Lucas, local buses depart every 15 minutes and connect the city with San Jose del Cabo and the luxury resorts along the “Tourist Corridor.” These air-conditioned buses are affordable (around $2.50 USD each way) and offer an easy way to see more of the beautiful Baja coastline.
