About this site

Pelican Rock is a calm, protected site in the Cabo San Lucas marine park, suitable for divers of all levels and for snorkelers. The reef starts shallow and slopes gradually down to a deep canyon with a famous underwater sandfall, at depths of 20 to 90 ft (6 to 27 m). It is rated beginner.

Schools of tropical fish live here, and moray eels, mobula rays, pufferfish and scorpionfish are regular sightings. Nearby, Middle Wall connects with the sandfall area near Pelican Rock.
