Surf Lessons at Cerritos

$80
This is an experience gift voucher. The recipient will book the experience after they redeem the gift voucher.

Overview

This surf experience takes place at Cerritos Beach, one of the most consistent and beginner-friendly surf beaches on the Pacific side of Baja California Sur. Known for long sandy beaches, open waves, and a relaxed Baja surf atmosphere, Cerritos offers ideal conditions for first-time surfers and intermediate riders looking to improve technique.

Unlike the calmer waters of the Sea of Cortez, Cerritos brings a more classic Pacific Ocean surf feeling, where rolling waves, open coastline, and changing swell conditions create a dynamic and authentic surfing environment. Lessons are guided by experienced local instructors who adapt coaching according to wave conditions and participant level.

The experience also includes time to relax at the beach and enjoy lunch at a local Baja-style restaurant, creating a full-day surf experience beyond the lesson itself.

Guests arriving with their own vehicle usually meet at Plaza Gali OXXO in Cabo San Lucas. The activity starts at Cerritos Beach. Please let us know in advance which location you prefer so we can provide your exact meeting time and instructions.

The experience begins at Cerritos Beach, where the Pacific Ocean stretches across a wide open coastline framed by desert mountains and long sandy beaches. Surfboards line the shore while instructors explain paddling, timing, positioning, and ocean awareness before entering the water.

Once the lesson begins, the rhythm of the Pacific becomes part of the experience itself. Waves roll consistently across the beach while surfers practice balance, pop-ups, and wave timing surrounded by the relaxed energy of Baja’s surf culture.

After time in the water, the experience slows during lunch at a local Baja-style restaurant near the beach. Between surfing, ocean views, Pacific sunsets, and the slower pace of Cerritos, the experience feels less like a lesson and more like spending a full Baja surf day on the coastline.
