Playa Los Cerritos and Barracuda Cantina, Los Cabos Mexico

Los Cerritos Beach is one of our favorite beaches to spend time at.  It is located roughly 45 minutes from Los Cabos depending on which resort you are staying at. We always rent a car when we stay in Cabo so that we can drive up to this beach.  Todos Santos is only 10 minutes away and you could combine the two for a day excursion.  Todos Santos is where Hotel California is located.




Los Cerritos is the beach where the movie Troy was filmed.  Brad Pitt was the male lead.  For any Brad Pitt fans in the world, you would remember this movie.  
The beach is extremely wide with very nice sand and in the summer months you get a lot of tidal pools with smaller waves and in the winter months you get large waves.  Either season is great to play Frisbee and swim.
  
When we first started coming to Los Cerritos we accidentally found it on a trip to Todos Santos.   Every year that we do end up at Los Cerritos Beach it changes a little bit more with more development and it's becoming more and more touristy which is less to our liking.  

There really aren't any services here.  There are no public washrooms or shade; however, now you can rent umbrellas and chairs.   We just usually bring our beach towels and lay on them.

It is a great Beach for walking you can walk for miles.  At one end is a great surfing beach with humongous waves.  My son has become a very good photographer and spent some time taking shots of the surfers at Los Cerritos below.

Los Cerritos Beach area is home to one of our favorite restaurants which is called Barracuda Cantina.  

Barracuda Cantina has the most delicious freshly squeezed passion fruit Margaritas.  

 They have their own passion fruit vine growing throughout the 
roof/ceiling area of this property.  

Barracuda Cantina is an open-air restaurant it has beautiful hibiscus trees and has some really deadly tacos.





There is free parking at Los Cerritos Beach.  There is an unpaved road from the highway to get down to the beach and we've been there several times and we always make wrong turns and end up going back and forth to find the parking area.  Playa Los Cerritos was a great discovery for my family and we have brought many of our friends and family to this great beach.
