Surf

Baja California Sur is one of the best places in Mexico to practice surfing. It is the Mexican state with the largest coastal area in all the country and has the second widest wave of the world in San Juanico, also known as Scorpion Bay.

Along Ruta 1 it is possible to visit different spots to enjoy or learn this sport; beginners can take surfing lessons from local or international experts.

The best places for surfing are Todos Santos, Cerritos, Pescadero, San Juanico and Los Cabos.

Todos Santos has some of the biggest waves in the world measuring more than 15 mts high.   Cerritos, like Todos Santos, has a rocky base. 
Very close to Cerritos, El Pescadero is a beach with very few visitors however they need to be careful with the sea urchins and the rocks.

Every July, San Juanico hosts an international tournament called “San Juanico Scorpion Bay Surf Tournament”.
San Juanico has a sandy base and the season for point break is in summer. 

The famous beaches of El Médano are located in Los Cabos and are famous for its calm waters. Los Barriles and Costa Azul, with their quick and strong waves, are good options for expert surfers. The Monumento area, in Cabo San Lucas, is only for expert surfers since the waves can go up to 2mts high, with a rocky base full with sea urchins.
