Go towards San Jose Del Cabo from Cabo San Lucas. It is about 5 minutes outside of Cabo San. It sits opposite of the Arch and Lovers Beach in the large bay at Cabo. You must drive through a guarded gate to a Hotel, but the guards are cool and let you through to surf. OR Locate the hotel La Mission Del Cabo and you are there. You can see the dirt parking lot in the picture.
Parking is at the top of a hill with a dirt trail down to the beach. There is a large exposed rock at the kickout zone near shore. On the left side of that rock is where you paddle out. + Watch out for the boils and rocks at low tide. If the tide is low paddle out next to the big rock. Do not put your feet down after a wave or wipe out due to all the sea urchins. Locals are pretty cool here. Nothing like the crew at Zippers. Watch out for the rocks on the inside...they will take your fins with them. + Main tip, be VERY aware of where the big rocks are!!! You will regret being careless at this spot, also keep an eye out for urchins. when I was there a guy was sent to the hospital after getting sucked over the falls onto a rock and came up with a back full of big urchins! Stay alert.
Overview
Atmosphere
When this break is reeling, the view from the trail will stick in your memory forever! + This spot is beautiful! Sitting in the line up you have a great view of the city of Cabo San Lucas and the arch. Also after a long great day of surf you can walk up to the hotel that overlooks the break and grab some ice cold coronas and think about the great waves you where just rippin.
General
The photo that is attached is a crappy day. I have surfed this spot perfect overhead with not a drop of water out of place and also surfed it on shitty days like this.
monuments.
if you want a real nut check. check this place out!!! not for the faint at heart. Every aspect of this ride is total committment. getting out, riding, getting in. ride or die.

sketchy
i never got to surf this place cus i checked it out at the wrong tide, but my friend went out when it was double overhead and said it way sketchy, he got a sea urchin in his foot, and when i looked at it there was dead fish and birds all over the beach from hitting the rocks, really creepy/

Not as great as it looks
This wave looks awesome but the bottom has lots of huge boulders underneath that make the wave pretty unpredictable. Last time I was there it was headhigh to slightly overhead. I duckdove a wave and my nose went straight into a rock. This was with a six foot wave breaking over me. The take off is really wierd. You have to be over a boil basically to get into one.
