Things to do in El Pescadero

Todos Santos Plaza lives up to its more common name of Plaza Centro, as it is a spot that locals see as central to the community even though it is west of the town’s geographic center. Come here to relax in the square and visit the church, theater and other sites near the courtyard.

Punta Lobos Beach is 2 miles (3 kilometers) south of Todos Santos, Mexico, and the short journey is worth the trip. The sandy beach is long and wide. Fishermen have a daily routine of leaving and returning to the beach in their boats, known as pangas. Buy fish directly from fishermen or dine on fresh seafood at one of the town’s restaurants, knowing there’s a good possibility that it was caught off Punta Lobos.

Playa La Cachora is one of the highlights near Todos Santos in Baja California Sur. It is a small section of sandy shoreline next to the Pacific Ocean, fulfilling the justified favorable reputation of Mexico’s beaches. Its beauty at any time of the day is outstanding. Being a beach with very few people increases its desirability. Plan a beach day at this location, where it’s not uncommon that you may only see a handful of people during your visit.

Los Pinos Park in Todos Santos is a pleasant spot for a break from the sun or some rest between other busy activities. The quiet park has pines and palms for shade. Sit on a bench and sip a cold drink while your children happily play on the equipment. The varied climbing ramps and slides can provide hours of fun.

The citizens of Todos Santos, Mexico, are proud of their heritage being notably marked by Nuestra Señora del Pilar Church. This religious building reflects on an earlier time when Spain asserted its hold on the territory by establishing missions. Visit the church that contains many period furnishings from the 18th century.
