Underwater sand falls
First discovered in 1959 by Francis Shepard, researcher at the Scripps Oceanographic Institute in San Diego, California, it was in fact Jacques-Yves Cousteau, the famous French naval officer, explorer, researcher and marine biologist who spread the word about this impressive underwater spectacle. This wonder belongs to the Cabo San Lucas’ Flora and Fauna Protection Area (APFF), decreed in November 1973.

The marine currents that result from the Pacific Ocean’s waters fusing with the Sea of Cortez, causes the erosion of marine soil into large amounts of sand that seem to fall like a cascade. This natural attraction, together with the Arch of Cabo San Lucas as the jewels of the destination.
