Santa Lucia de los Cerritos is a well-known surf spot with a beach break, at the tip of the Baja peninsula in Mexico. Cerritos is a great spot for both the experienced surfer and beginners.

The tan-and-black beach is lovely, and inland is the desert, which is quite a sight in its own right, with huge cacti and other wild vegetation.

Surfing

There is often a sandbar where the water shimmers with fool's gold, giving it a surreal quality.

Paddle out into this right point break, with variable waves on the inside; and depending on the sand bar, you can often catch some nice lefts that peel into beautiful tubes. Cerritos breaks steadily, set after set, with no frequent waiting time between sets. This creates a constant white water parade of waves on the inside shallow water, making it a wonderful place to learn how to surf.

Local surf instructors can be found. (details needed)
