    About Los Cerritos Beach

    Los Cerritos Beach is a year-round Pacific surf destination near Todos Santos, about an hour north of Cabo San Lucas. Beach and point breaks, surf lessons, and rentals make it a practical day trip for beginners and experienced surfers.

    This is an active surf beach, not a protected calm-water cove. Beginners should use instruction and stay within conditions suited to their ability; the point can produce faster, peakier waves. Check current surf and local guidance before entering, and do not infer safe swimming from the beach's popularity.
