Things to do in Cerritos Beach

Surf is the reason most people come. Here's what else our guests love, from a walk to a hidden beach to a day trip to La Paz.

Surfer on a big wave

Surf lessons

Cerritos has waves for every kind of surfer. It doesn't matter if you're a beginner or an expert: the inside is soft and forgiving, the point is for when you're ready. Ask us and we'll book a lesson with a local instructor.
