4 spots
Cerritos is the most beginner-friendly beach on this stretch of coast, south of El Pescadero. A right wraps off the headland at the north end on northwest swell, and the beach takes south swell in summer. Board rentals, lessons and food are available on the beach, and the area is developing quickly.
El Pescadero is the town between Todos Santos and Cerritos on the Pacific side of Baja California Sur. The beach in front produces A-frame peaks over sand and shallow reef, and it picks up both summer south swell and winter northwest swell. It can get crowded when it is good.
Playa Las Palmas, also called Palm Beach, is a sheltered cove near El Pescadero backed by a palm grove. The surf here is consistent, with urchins, rips and rocks to keep in mind.
San Pedrito is a powerful right-hand reef between Todos Santos and El Pescadero, framed by palm trees. It is at its best on winter northwest swell, when it produces long walls. The reef is sharp and there are urchins.
