Rosarito Beach

Overview

Rosarito Beach lies between Tijuana and Ensenada, on the northern Pacific coast of Baja California, very near the border with the United States. Rosarito Beach is one of the primary tourist destinations for Americans, especially those from the San Diego and Los Angeles areas. It is the first true tourist destination south of Tijuana, and is much sought-after both for vacationers and for retirees. A beach town, it faces the Pacific Ocean, and so gets much stronger surf than towns on the Gulf of California. The town gets plenty of sun, little rain, and mild-to-warm weather in a generally desert environment.

Rosarito Beach was overlooked by the Spanish as a building site and is therefore a very new town, with a population of only around 56,000, and no colonial architecture. Many of its homes are very modern as is the general feel of the town and surrounding areas. Real estate, buying homes, and renting homes in the Rosarito Beach area is richly rewarding, and living in Rosarito Beach, well, that can be a real dream come true.
