Explore Rosarito: Baja California's Premier Beach & Surf Destination

Mexico is a country of contrasts in every sense, just as it is said that Chiapa de Corzo, in Chiapas, is one of the oldest cities in Latin America, on the other hand there are places as young as Rosarito, Baja California, which has become one of the favorite destinations for surfers and those who love the beach.

 

Rosarito, Baja California, is a 30 minute drive from Tijuana and an hour from Ensenada and San Diego, California, which is why many travelers from the United States have adopted this place as their weekend destination to surf and return home with a good tan.

 

The climate in Rosarito is one of its main attractions, since it is warm and sunny all year round, its summers are dry so it is an ideal place to vacation without worrying about rain. In autumn it is common to see los Vientos de Santa Ana (Santa Ana Winds), which are extremely dry air currents typical of northern Mexico and southern California, United States.

 

The first inhabitants of Rosarito were small indigenous groups. In the 17th century, its name was Misión de San Arcángel de la Frontera since it was part of the route of the evangelizing missions that were installed in a large part of Baja California.

 

Rosarito is a city where you can practice water sports almost all year round. One of its main economic activities is cinema and television, since here are the Baja Studios where movies like Titanic, Pearl Harbor, Planet of the Apes and television series like Fear of the Walking Dead have been filmed.
