Rosarito Beach Photo Gallery
For residents and tourists alike,
Rosarito is probably the most user-friendly city in Baja. It offers great
shopping, international cuisine, wonderful seafood, good night life and a casual
attitude that lets you go anywhere and do anything in sandals and shorts. There
are only two traffic lights in the entire city, and almost everything of
interest is in walking distance. Visitors ride horses through the surf here,
while real vaqueros (Mexican cowboys) ride them down the main street. A laptop
next to the pool is an unlikely sight in Rosarito, and nobody walks down the
street talking on a cell phone. But surfboards are everywhere, hand-holding
seems to be contagious, and the sunsets over the Coronado Islands are postcard
quality. During your visit you can stay at many fine hotels and resorts that
Rosarito Beach has to offer. You can play volleyball under the stars at Rock and
Roll Taco or Papas and Beer, Bargains of all kinds abound. Browse in a mercado
on the main street for arts and crafts, leathers and silver, or roam among an
interesting mix of roadside shops just south of town for pottery,
Guadalajara-cement statues, fountains, curios, rugs and blankets. Take in a
round of golf at Real Del Mar or Bajamar ocean-view courses or try your luck at
Sport Fishing. Rosarito is home to the border area's best beach action, from ATV
rentals to sea kayaks to catamarans, available, like the horses, for an hour or
for the day. You can hike a mountain, surf fish or just put your feet up under a
palm-fronded palapa and wind down with a frothy pina colada in hand.
