Overview

Cerritos Beach is one of the few beaches in Baja California Sur that consistently offers surfable waves for a wide range of skill levels. Its open exposure to Pacific swells creates conditions that attract both beginners and experienced surfers throughout much of the year.
Unlike many surf destinations where conditions can be intimidating for first-time surfers, Cerritos often provides a more forgiving environment for learning fundamental skills. The private lesson format allows instructors to adapt techniques, pacing, and coaching specifically to each participant, creating a more effective and personalized learning experience while introducing travelers to the surf culture that has long been part of Baja California Sur.
