Hike / scramble to Land's End

[Strychnine]

At the southernmost point of the Baja Peninsula, where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez there's a rock formation called "The Arch." There's no point in sitting still in the world so last week we decided to see how close we could get without having to take a boat.


Starting on the Pacific side headed to Land's End.

I should probably make it known that there is no swimming to where we tried to get. These waves are a bitch. We watched some crash so hard the spray went at least 2/3 of the way up this formation.





Up and over









Coming out of the rocks







And on to Divorce Beach. Still on the Pacific side and definitely no swimming here.





Here's a friend giving some perspective on the size of the rocks





To get from Divorce Beach to Lover's beach there's a trek across open sand. (The footprints are from people who got there by boat)





Then you get to this point on Lover's Beach which is on Bahia San Lucas

And if you look close there's a way through...







And on the other side you're all alone on a tiny beach





We almost made it. Through the cut on the right is Divorce Beach on the other side and Lover's Beach on the near side. The hole in the rock is in that point left of center.




We made it all the way to the beach on the right, but couldn't get around to the arch. Due to another climbing trip up near Boca de la Sierra we couldn't time the tides right
I've never actually seen the water as low as it is in this pic... supposedly it only happens every 4-6 years





And after all that we had to reverse it




To get back to the Pacific

A few more from my friend's camera. These show true color way better than the GoPro I was using.
