A small theme park with exhibits, shows and food. The studio was built for the filming of the movie “Titanic”. Located in Rosarito, about 40 minutes south of Tijuana.
La Mirador – The Lookout
South of Rosarito is a lookout point. Watch for the “La Mirador” signs, at Km. 84 on the Tiajuana-Ensenada toll highway, 17 miles north of Ensenada. The brightly painted buildings have unimpressive pay bathrooms; frequently there are a few vendors with snacks for sale. On a clear day, the views of the coastline are spectacular, and worth your stop.
In downtown Ensenada, one block east of the waterfront is First Avenue, Paseo Calle Primera. (See Maps.) Here you can find all kinds of souvenirs. If you bargain, you can find good deals on Mexican blankets, silver, baskets, T shirts and leather goods. On weekends you are likely to see large cruise ships. There are several bars up and down the street which can get raucous on weekend evenings.
Estero Beach
All along the Baja coastline are beaches, but many are littered and dirty. Six miles south of Ensenada, you can follow the signs west to Estero Beach, a resort area. After paying a small fee to park, you can enter the resort and enjoy their long, pretty sand beach. There are a few restaurants at the resort and some limited shopping.
Twenty-two miles south of Ensenada is a natural blowhole of rocks along the coastline. When the tide is high, water shoots up seventy feet into the air. This popular tourist attraction is lined with stands selling snacks and souvenirs. There is a small parking fee.
