About El Pescadero

Small farming and fishing town, organic agriculture heritage, surf-adjacent, rustic charm with growing amenities, strong community feel

El Pescadero is the agricultural heart of Baja's Pacific corridor, a small farming and fishing town known for organic agriculture in a way no other community in the region can claim. Located at kilometer 64 on Highway 19, eight kilometers south of Todos Santos and adjacent to Cerritos Beach, it occupies the practical center of Pacific-side living at lower prices than either neighbor. The median listing price hovers around $945,000, but entry-level condos start at approximately $200,000 and single-family homes range from $300,000 to over $2 million. Beachfront properties command $1-2 million+. The area's organic farming heritage fuels a vibrant street food and artisan scene, with food stands and open-air eateries serving what many consider the best casual dining in all of Baja. A growing community of US and Canadian retirees, surfers (Cerritos Beach is minutes away), and organic lifestyle enthusiasts are discovering El Pescadero's authentic Mexican village experience. For buyers who want the Pacific corridor lifestyle without the prices of Todos Santos or the surf-specific focus of Cerritos Beach, El Pescadero provides genuine village living at genuine village prices.

Beach Access

Pescadero / Cerritos Pacific Coast

Swim Safety: Strong currents — the Pacific beaches near Pescadero are not generally safe for swimming; Cerritos Beach (10 min) is the exception

El Pescadero's nearby Pacific beaches are dramatic and beautiful but carry strong currents and undertow typical of the open Pacific coast. These are surfer beaches, not swimming beaches. For safe swimming and beginner surf, Cerritos Beach is a short drive south. The sunsets from the Pescadero coastline are among the best in Baja.
