Both beaches are very popular for sunbathing and relaxing but Divorce Beach, being on the Pacific Ocean side, is very rocky with dangerous waves. Divorce Beach is not recommended for swimming with its large waves and strong rip tides. On the day of this fun footage, Janet and her husband were taking a short sightseeing tour out to Lands End. After the thirty minute excursion they started their way back into the marina. Within a few minutes they noticed a group of very large sea lions following along behind some fighting charter boats. Little did Janet know, the sea lions following them and the other boats were world famous. Pancho the Sea Lion is a local legend in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, one of the top fishing destinations in the world.

Many large sea lions lounge around the marina docks waiting for the return of the fishing boats in hopes they will be offered up some fight snacks. Pancho himself use to laze around waiting, but began following these boats, making the fish treats much more plentiful as he chased from boat to boat. Soon Pancho had many other sea lions following his actions, making some great entertainment for tourists and locals alike. These California sea lions are quite large. The female sea lions grow to around six feet long and 220 pounds, while the males measure in at 8 feet long and close to 800 pounds. While enjoying the video, take note of the boats when the sea lions board awaiting a fishy treat, that shows just how large and heavy they are. Cute and cuddly creatures of the sea.
