Local Lifestyle

The lifestyle in Cerritos Beach is easygoing and outdoorsy, with a strong sense of community and connection to the ocean. Days here start with sunrise surf sessions and often end with sunset bonfires. Locals prioritize nature, wellness, and simplicity — with many drawn to Cerritos for its peaceful energy and escape from busier resort towns. The influx of new residents, especially those relocating from the U.S. and Canada, is bringing a fresh wave of modern amenities while keeping the beach-town charm intact.

Dining and Shopping

While still a smaller community, Cerritos Beach punches above its weight when it comes to food. Agricole is both a grocery store and a dining destination, offering farm-to-table meals and thoughtfully curated products that reflect the best of Baja’s agricultural bounty. You’ll find everything from organic produce to fresh cheeses, plus a casual café perfect for midday bites.

Shaka’s Restaurant is a favorite among locals and expats alike — a welcoming spot with cold drinks, great tacos, and an effortlessly cool vibe. It's a great post-surf hangout or a chill place to grab dinner with friends. For something a little more festive, Barracuda Cantina serves up Baja classics and killer margaritas in a lively, open-air setting just steps from the beach.

Shopping is still developing here, but that’s part of the charm. What’s available is often local and artisan-made — think handcrafted jewelry, surf gear, and beachy home décor. And with more developments underway, you can expect even more retail and dining options to arrive in the near future.

Things to Do and Entertainment

The star attraction here is, without question, the beach. Cerritos boasts one of the few swimmable beaches on the Pacific side of Baja, making it ideal for surfing, boogie boarding, or simply floating in the waves. Whether you're catching your first wave or are already a seasoned pro, the surf culture is welcoming and the conditions are consistently solid.

Beyond the beach, many visitors and locals enjoy visiting Agricole for its fresh groceries and charming ambiance. The area has a quietly growing creative scene, with occasional pop-ups, live music events, and a casual nightlife that revolves around great food, community, and a view of the stars. It’s a place where entertainment flows naturally from the environment, rather than from manufactured attractions.
