Parque Nacional Cabo Pulmo, National park in Los Cabos Municipality, Mexico.
Parque Nacional Cabo Pulmo is a marine sanctuary encompassing roughly 7,000 hectares of protected waters off the coast of Los Cabos. The park contains coral reefs teeming with colorful fish, sharks, sea turtles, and other creatures that make up a complex underwater ecosystem.
The park received national park designation in 1995 to protect the coral ecosystem and marine biodiversity from overfishing threats. This shift marked a turning point when the region moved away from commercial fishing toward conservation-focused management.
Local fishing communities have shifted to become guardians of the sea, developing sustainable practices that balance tourism with marine protection. You can see this commitment in how the area operates today, with conservation at the heart of daily activities.
The park welcomes visitors daily, accessible both from shore and by boat depending on what you want to explore. Bring sun protection and plenty of water, as the region's sun is intense with little shade available.
This reef ranks among North America's oldest living coral structures, supporting an extraordinary array of fish species and reef animals. The age and abundance of life here attract both researchers and snorkelers wanting to witness the sheer density of marine creatures.
