Surf and swimming
The point is known as an advanced break over a rocky bottom, with strong currents; surf forecasters warn about urchins, rips and rocks. On smaller days a beach break forms that intermediates enjoy. If you're learning, go to Cerritos instead.
Swimming is only sensible on genuinely flat days, close to shore and away from the rocks. There's no lifeguard.
The beach
Behind the sand is a palm grove, which makes San Pedrito one of the prettier stretches on this coast for a sunset walk. Food is back toward El Pescadero; see Cerritos and El Pescadero.
Getting to San Pedrito Beach from Villa 1
About 71 km from Villa 1: Highway 19 north past El Pescadero, then turn toward the sea at about km 60 and follow the dirt road to the beach.
What to bring
- Reef booties (urchins)
- Water and shade
