Sunset session picks in Municipio de San Quintín

West-facing beaches with golden hour potential and evening access.

El Cardon
point
intermediate

El Cardón is a smaller headland on the same stretch of coast as Punta María. Despite its size, it can produce longer rides than its neighbors on a good winter swell.

Evening access

Rough dirt road access. Camping only; bring water, food and fuel.

El Socorro
point
advanced

El Socorro is a small community on Highway 1 south of San Quintín, where the road runs close to the coast. The point here sees few surfers and has rocks in the lineup.

Evening access

Short dirt road from Highway 1. Services are in San Quintín.

Punta Canoas
point
advanced

Punta Canoas is on the remote Pacific coast of central Baja, at the northern end of the string of points that runs down toward Santa Rosalillita. The area has several setups, and it picks up southwest swell that much of northern Baja does not get. High cliffs help with the wind.

Evening access

Rough dirt road access. There are no services; camping only, with all food, water, fuel and repair gear brought in.

Punta Negra
point
advanced

Punta Negra is a right point on the central Pacific coast of Baja. It works on winter west to northwest swell, and the cleanest conditions usually come early or late in the day.

Evening access

The road is rough, so a high-clearance vehicle is the minimum. There are no facilities or water.

Punta San Carlos
point
advanced

Punta San Carlos is a long right-hand point on a remote stretch of coast south of El Rosario, reached by a long dirt road. The strong afternoon northwest wind has made it a windsurfing and kiteboarding destination too, so surf sessions usually happen early. It picks up a wide range of swell directions.

Evening access

It is a long, rough drive from Highway 1, and routes change after rain, so a 4x4 helps. There are no services; carry water, fuel and food.
