El Tezal: Bahía San Lucas - San Lucas - Cerro El Vigía
The landscape around El Tezal is a dry, rocky coastal slope above Bahía San Lucas, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. El Tezal occupies the rising western side of Cabo San Lucas, at the southern end of the Baja California peninsula. Bahía San Lucas curves around the resort city toward the rocky Land’s End headland, where granite formations mark the meeting area of the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of California. Cerro El Vigía belongs to this rugged coastal relief. Once a small fishing settlement, Cabo San Lucas is now an international resort and a major base for charter fishing; hotels, marinas and hillside neighbourhoods share the shore with open water.

The southern foothills of the Sierra de la Laguna define the setting of El Tezal — dry, rising terrain places this residential area on the edge of Cabo San Lucas, facing toward the Sea of Cortez. El Tezal belongs to Los Cabos, at the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula, where desert vegetation and newer hillside development meet the resort corridor. Cabo San Lucas Bay and its marina are nearby, while Land’s End is marked by El Arco, the rock formation between the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez. Sport fishing remains an important part of Cabo San Lucas’s identity alongside its hotel and marina economy.

Built around coastal settlements sustained by fishing and sea trade, Baja California Sur grew into a Mexican state defined by the Pacific Ocean, the Gulf of California and a dry peninsula interior. La Paz, the state capital on the gulf, is a principal starting point for the islands and waters off the eastern coast. Farther north, Loreto preserves a key strand of the peninsula’s colonial past: the Mission of Our Lady of Loreto, founded by Jesuits in 1697, was the first permanent Jesuit mission on the peninsula. The Sierra de la Giganta rises behind the gulf shore, while Magdalena Bay on the Pacific side is known for wintering gray whales.
