Rosarito Beach – The Jewel of Baja
California
Just across the
Mexican border Rosarito Beach is only 18 miles from the border via the
beautiful Rosarito-Tijuana Scenic Road. A vacation in Rosarito Beach
begins with a drive along the Pacific coast of the great Baja
peninsula, a travel experience in itself.
Rosarito Beach is
probably the most user-friendly city in Baja. Year round, enjoy an
almost perfect climate with mild winters and balmy summers. There are
only three traffic lights in the entire city, and almost everything of
interest is in walking distance.
Rosarito Beach
offers the amenities of top coastal resorts world-wide, yet maintains
a comfortable casual attitude that lets you go anywhere and do
anything in sandals and shorts. Accommodations in Rosarito Beach
include Luxury beachfront resorts, private condos and villas, moderate
and budget hotels. Down town Rosarito
Beach near all the action and attractions you'll find popular hotels
like the Festival Plaza
Rosarito
and Corona Plaza
Rosarito or
if you prefer
a
relaxing vacation try the New
Port Beach Hotel or
The Grand Baja Resorts in Puerto Nuevo.
Oceanfront, ocean
view, upscale or down-home, you'll find a great place to stay in the
coastal Rosarito area that fits your lifestyle and your wallet.
Take in a round of
Golf at Real Del Mar or Bajamar ocean-view
courses or try your luck at
Sport Fishing
in Ensenada.
For the ultimate
relaxation, pamper yourself with a trip to the Spa at one of Rosarito
Beach Spa Resorts.
At night, Rosarito
Beach is the best fiesta in Baja California! There are authentic
Mexican floor shows, karaoke bars, elegant night clubs - or wild and
crazy bars like
Senor
Frogs Rosarito or
Papas & Beer
Rosarito Beach, where you can ride a mechanical bull, play volleyball in
the sand, dance under the stars, and party till dawn.
Shopping along Rosarito's main street is the best
place in Baja California to buy handcrafted
Mexican furniture. Stroll through the Mercado for
arts and crafts, leathers and silver or roam the
miracle mile of pottery, Guadalajara-cement
statues, fountains, curios and rug and blanket
weavers in an interesting mix of roadside shops
just south of town.
Rosarito Beach
boasts more than 85 quality restaurants serving international cuisine
and Rosarito Specialties. Almost a million lobsters are served in the
Rosarito coastal area each year. "Puerto Nuevo-style" is now a
world-famous synonym for the exquisite lobster offered in our local
restaurants. From traditional Mexican cuisine to the best Tacos you'll
ever eat, Rosarito means great food at every turn.
