The Baja California Peninsula is a peninsula in Northwestern Mexico which separates the Pacific Ocean from the Gulf of California. The peninsula extends 1,247km from Mexicali, Baja California in the north to Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur in the south. Guadalupe is considered one of the best spots in the world for sightings of the great white shark, possibly because of its large population of pinnipeds.

The local scenery on the ground of Cabo San Lucas is as follows.
