In addition to the natural appeal of Rosarito’s coastline, tourists are
attracted by the more than 30 yearly events, specifically designed for
the visitor’s participation. The traditional Rosarito – Ensenada Bike
Ride, has drawn thousands of participants yearly growing so popular
that there are now two rides, one in April and the original held in
September.

Cantamar sand dunes in Primo Tapia, bi- and triathlons, 5K and 10K
runs, beach volleyball tournaments, sand castle contests and horseback
riding are among the attractions in Rosarito. In addition to the nearly
500 shops for the acquisition of souvenirs you can also find a
handcrafts market with over 150 different shops where you can buy
sterling silver jewelry, leather goods, blankets pottery and many other
handcrafts from all over Mexico.

The fishing village of
Puerto Nuevo just 15 minutes south of Rosarito proper has become famous

homemade flour tortillas. Rosarito’s restaurants, including those in
Puerto Nuevo number over 100 and offer everything from Traditional
Mexican, American and Continental Cuisine to Chinese, Italian and
