Activities in and
Around Rosarito Beach
"Other Than Drinking and
Partying" |
|
There are way too many things to do in
and around Rosarito Beach in the matter of a few days. But it can't hurt
to try, so here is a listing of some activities that we recommend to
keep you occupied while you are not too busy partying it up. |
|
Shopping
- What is a trip to Mexico without a little bit of shopping. There is an
excellent but somewhat hidden artisan Mercado just up the street from
Festival Plaza Hotel. Goods include wrought iron goods, blown glass,
wood carvings and numerous other traditional Mexican art pieces. |
| Ride Horses or ATV's - Yes, the
beach is covered with all terrain vehicles and horses. While this does
not necessarily bode well for the scenery it can make for some fun
activities. You can usually rent either at the beach in front of Papa's
and Beer. |
|
Surfing
- One of the most popular activities in and around Rosarito Beach.
Northern Baja has some excellent breaks including Baja Malibu, Calafia,
K38 1/2, Salsipuedes and San Miguel. Click
here for a detailed report of surfing in the Northern Baja area. |
| Lobster Run - Puerto Nuevo, just
south of Rosarito Beach, is world famous for it Baja Rock Lobster.
Puerto Nuevo can be an excellent day trip and you can typically get a
lobster meal with a beer or margarita for about $10 - $15. There is also
a nice shopping selection. |
|
Tijuana
- If you've never been there, a trip to Tijuana can be a fun and
interesting experience. The main bar strip for gringos is Avenida
Revolucion. If you choose to go there it is best to go on a Wednesday,
Saturday or Friday, in that order. Safari Club and Club A are the most
highly recommended of Tijuana's clubs. |
|
La
Bufadora/Blowhole - It is a long trip, but it can be worth it to see
one of the world's few blowholes. La Bufadora is located south of
Ensenada on Punta Banda. The driveway to La Bufadora has become
something of a Mercado itself recently and the shopping can actually
occupy as much of your time as the blowhole. |
| Ensenada - This would be even a
better getaway, except for the fact that biggest tourist attraction is
seemingly Papas and Beer. Get the point. It doesn't make much sense to
leave a town with a Papas and Beer to go to Papas and Beer. It
can be a pretty funny experience though if you happen through town in
sequence with the cruise ship.
