Pescadero is a small village in the municipality of La Paz in the Mexican state of Baja California Sur . It is located at km 64 on Federal Highway 19 on the Pacific Ocean about 8 kilometers South of Todos Santos which is about a one hour drive north of Cabo San Lucas . The Mexican census of 2005 reported a population of 1,634 inhabitants.

The climate in Pescadero is one of the finest of all of Baja California Sur. It is heavily influenced by the Pacific Ocean which moderates the temperatures year round. In the summer, the ocean breezes keep the heat at manageable levels. Winter, generally the months of March through May, is marked by warm days and cooler temperatures at night.

Surf breaks punctuate the length of the peninsula's Pacific coast. Two of the best are located in Pescadero. Los Cerritos and San Pedrito. Both beaches have right breaks. Los Cerritos is one of the best for beginner and intermediate surfers. San Pedrito is considered an advanced surfer's break because of its rocky bottom and strong currents.

The village proper has a few accommodations, restaurants and bars, several grocery stores and gas station. The huerta or beach area has a scattering of bungalows and casitas that can be rented by the night.

There is a surf camp in km64 which contains accommodation (casitas) and a pool. This is perfect if you are just stopping off. Los Cerritos, while it is known as a good beach for beginners, of course watch out.
