Best sunset surf spots in El Tezal

Sunset session picks in El Tezal

West-facing beaches with golden hour potential and evening access.

Monuments
point
advanced

Monuments is the steep left at the east end of Cabo San Lucas bay, where deep water near the headland focuses west and southwest swell. It is one of the few spots near Cabo that picks up winter swell, and it is close to town. The takeoff zone is tight, and afternoon wind often ruins it.

Evening access

Access runs through a gated resort area on the Tourist Corridor; surfers are usually let in. Park above and take the trail down.
