Of the Northern Baja towns, Tijuana, Ensenada and Rosarito, I like Rosarito the best. It’s much smaller than the others and the beach is easily accessible. There are lots of choices for food from nice sit down restaurants to the taco stands along the strip. To pick a good taco stand, look for one that has an abundance of locals. A little further South is the Hotel Calafia, a hotel built into the cliffs along the ocean. It’s expensive but offers wonderful views.
