Creator's Key Takeaways
Cabo is one of those cruise ports where you don't dock. You have to tender, which means taking a water shuttle from the ship to the shore.
This was honestly the most annoying part of this entire port. I got to admit, when we first got off the ship, came into the port, I think I was harassed here for excursions and stuff more than we've been anywhere in a long time.
Once we got away from that area, it's beautiful. I absolutely love this side.
Cabo is also known for its famous natural arch. Now, you could take a boat tour out to the arch and then even stop over at Lover's Beach, which is one of the few swimmable beaches in the area.
