Todos Santos beaches are the best option for hundreds of national and international tourists looking for a place to rest, vacation peacefully, or do any of the hundreds of activities that beaches offer.
These Todos Santos beaches have unique characteristics that make them special; each one is a new escape for tourists searching for unique experiences.
Los Cerritos Beach
Los Cerritos Beach is visited by thousands of tourists annually, making it one of the most visited Todos Santos Beaches. This beach is just 25 minutes away from Todos Santos and offers a great variety of activities that will turn a simple experience into an unforgettable moment.
Named after its location at the end of a hill, “Los Cerritos,” has become a top location over the years. Tourists themselves favor this spot since it is one of the safest beaches to visit.
There are a variety of activities to do on this beach, such as eating at one of the most popular restaurants in Baja California Sur (Barracuda Cantina), attending bars, enjoying live music, walking, kayaking, or requesting a massage while listening to the sound of waves crashing against the rocks. But, the most striking aspect of this beach is the surf. The tide is perfect for the avid surfer, but you don’t need to be an expert since internationally recognized and professional instructors teach here almost daily. To attend one of these classes, you need only courage and to love running on adrenaline.
La Pastora Beach
Another Todos Santos beach that receives high volumes of tourists is La Pastora beach. La Pastora is well known in the area as an advanced point break, not suitable for beginners, due to the boulder bottom and strong current. But, advanced surfers will love it. Walk from our hotel, Villa Santa Cruz, just 10 minutes down the beach to world class surf. Otherwise, getting to this beach can be a little more complicated because the drive is more of an adventure. This beach is located 8km from downtown Todos Santos and is at a secluded turnoff, tucked away in the dunes.
Punta Lobos Beach
Todos Santos beaches, as we have learned, are unique, and its no wonder Punta Lobos Beach is also on our list. This spot is known for being located near the fisherman and you can watch them launch from the shore each morning in panga boats.
On this beach, you can stroll for miles, due to the soft sand which is perfect for walking. In addition, whales are frequently spotted here, which makes it an attraction for tourists. Because this place is vast, it is common to find families that have been fishing for years, and even generations, since it is also known as a fishing beach.
La Cachora Beach
La Cachora beach is one of the most beautiful places among all the Todos Santos beaches. One of its characteristics is that it is a peaceful beach, which makes it a very attractive site for people looking for a good view and tranquility. The beach is only 3 km from the city and has a parking lot; however, some people choose to reach this place via bicycle. It is not usually recommended because this beach does not have water, food, or umbrella services, so these items must be carried with you before entering.
The most crowded times of the year are during October and April since it is very common to see the famous gray and humpback whales. In addition, because the waves are very strong in this area, many of the people who attend stay on shore. Swimming is not recommended, especially when the waves break on the sand and the currents are more present.
