Explore Baja: Surfing in Los Cerritos


Los Cerritos, Baja Sur is a great spot to surf. Los cerritos is located a couple of kms out side Pescadero, which is in turn, a small fisher's town about an hour north from Cabo.

Los Cerritos (small hills) is a great beach in general. There is a small restaurant with live music where you can enjoy great food and chilled cervezas. This little but cool restaurant has great sea food so you can enjoy the local cuisine til late. Los cerritos also has a couple of surf huts shops where you can rent boards and all you need to have a good session. There is also a little surf school where you can have lessons from for the beginners. For the more experienced surfers, Los Cerritos offers great and constant waves when the swell is good.

This beach is mostly visited by locals and turists from Cabo. The great waves attract surfers along. Recently, there have been rock and reggae concerts in Los Cerritos from time to time which makes it to start to have a place for the bohemian community's scenario.

You can rent a surf board in Los cerritos no problem. There are two small shops that sell surf stuff, they also rent boards for $20 or $15 a day. You can also get surf lessons right there or go to Todos Santos or Cabo and pay for lessons in Los cerritos. The are also a good group of locals that are quite friendly.

Personally, Los Cerritos is one of my favourite beaches because is where I learnt to surf. Even though it is one hour and a half away from La Paz, most of my friends spent the weekends in this beach during summer.

Currently, Los Cerritos is a hot spot for Real State because the area is developing quite well. Some years ago, this beach was only a fishers beach. Now it is a turistic and surfing must-to visit spot if you enjoy lounge music in a cool and relaxed atmosphere with a nice mix of beach and great sunsets. Also, the weather all year round in Los cerritos is exceptional. Truly amazing.
