Baja Malibu

Similar to Malibu in California, Baja Malibu has beautiful beaches yet still maintains the "small town" vibe, but the main difference is its waves which are some of the widest in all of the Pacific. Waves can get to be up to four meters high and are consistent, so you don't have to wait for a good set.

Boca de Santo Tomas

There is a small place in Baja California called Boca de Santo Tomas, a small village dedicated primarily to fishing. Here you will find smooth and consistent sets.

Punta San Jose

One of the most attractive and best kept secrets Ensenada is without a doubt Punta San Jose, a desolate beach with strong waves for the more adventurous surfer. Make sure you take plenty of provisions and take a buddy, because you will be literally in the middle of nowhere.

Todos Santos

An impressive sand and rock beach where you will see some of the most intense waves in all of Baja, sometimes reaching up to 18 meters high in a section, dubbed "killers" by tourists. Definitely only to be surfed by experts.
