Explore El Pescadero through three specific interests: surfing, the Festival de la Tortuga Marina in the September-to-October period, and cuisine based on the harvest from an on-site garden. San Pedrito and Cerritos have distinct surfing profiles; Hierbabuena offers a culinary destination that adds another dimension to the area.

Surfing: two distinct beach profiles

San Pedrito and Cerritos are among the best surfing beaches in Baja California Sur. Playa San Pedrito, also known as “El Estero,” is suitable for surfing.

Surf conditions can help you choose between the two: San Pedrito has strong currents and a rocky seabed, and is more popular with experienced surfers. Surf conditions at San Pedrito can vary. Cerritos is considered a suitable option for beginner and intermediate surfers.

Cerritos Beach has several surf schools and a surfboard rental service for visitors, including Mario Surf School. As individual providers may change, check whether your preferred school or rental service is available before your visit.

Festival and cuisine

The Festival de la Tortuga Marina takes place in El Pescadero between September and October. If you want to plan your trip around it, check the specific event dates before booking.

Hierbabuena is an open-air dining venue set within a garden. Its menu is based on the daily or seasonal harvest from its own vegetable garden. As current menu details may change, check the selection before planning a visit.
