The stone sleeping cabin.  Spectacular  place to cozy up for a night on the beach.  Complete with wood for bonfire, solar power, stove for AM coffee, and waves crashing at your door.  A most hidden gem, off the grid.  About $150/night.
While kayaking in the waters off Isla Espiritu Santo, we passed this rock formation. What does it look like to you?
Lands End - El Arco de Cabo San Lucas. For $10 you can take a glass bottom boat ride to Los Arcos and the beaches. It can get VERY crowded so go early. Oh and you have to swim to board the boat beyond the crashing waves, so dont bring things that cannot get wet.
