Pedregal: the hillside above Cabo San Lucas
Pedregal is the gated hillside neighbourhood immediately west of Cabo San Lucas marina, a five-minute drive or a steep fifteen-minute walk from downtown. It is villa rentals and a handful of high-end hotels with the best views in the region, and its beach is Pacific-facing and not swimmable.

Pedregal climbs the headland west of the Cabo San Lucas marina, a gated development of private villas dating to the 1970s with a small number of hotels mixed in.
Its position is the whole point: high enough for a full view of Land's End and the Pacific, close enough that the marina is a five-minute drive.
Playa del Amor is on the far side of the headland and reachable only by boat. The Pacific beach directly below Pedregal has heavy shore break and is not for swimming.
