Where is Rosarito?
Rosarito is 30 minutes south of San Diego, just across the Mexican border on the Pacific coast of the great Baja peninsula. Downtown Rosarito is only 18 miles from the border via the beautiful and well-kept Rosarito-Ensenada toll road, recently renamed the Rosarito-Tijuana Scenic Road.  

What's the best time of year to visit?
Anytime! The weather is similar to San Diego's coastal areas, but with constant ocean breezes keeping us cool in summer. Year round, we enjoy an almost perfect climate with mild winters and balmy summers.  

Is Rosarito a ritzy, expensive resort town?
No. While we have all the amenities of most top coastal resorts world-wide, we are considered inexpensive by California standards and lower in overall cost than Tijuana for hotels and meals. Your dollars go a long way in Rosarito and you'll find excellent value for your money everywhere. The atmosphere is casual, laid-back and informal.  

Are Rosarito and the surrounding area safe?
Probably safer than your home town. Guns are illegal in Mexico and Baja California has had the lowest unemployment rate in all of Mexico for almost 10 years, currently at almost 0%. Thus, violent crime is low and random violence is practically non- existent. However, it's always wise anywhere to use the same, normal safety and anti-theft precautions you would use at home. Lock your car. Use a Club-like device. Don't leave valuables in full view on car seats and park in well-lit places.
