Beach Access
Pescadero / Cerritos Pacific Coast
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.
