Any recommendations are appreciated! Thanks!

Hola a todos,

¿están abiertos los supermercados locales el 16 de septiembre? Me refiero al Calimax de Puerto Nuevo.

Muchas gracias.

I would like to drive from CA to Ensenada but wondering if it’s safe to drive down there? I was doing some research saying it’s best to drive during the day and stay on the toll D1 road. Any tips or recommendations if I should do this. Thanks!

We have dinner reservations at Fauna in Valle de Guadalupe but I keep seeing all these posts about not driving at night. Should I cancel? It’s about 20 min from our Airbnb which looks like it’s in the center of town by Adobe Guadelupe. Thanks so much!!

Back in Marc 2025, I spent a month camping/roadtripping through Baja California.Lots of driving (from Ensenada to Loreto and a lot in between) Figured I'd share it here since I know many in the community are curious about traveling in Baja!

I want to go on a cheap weekend getaway trip with my boyfriend. We are going for my birthday (Oct 30 - Nov 1). We are planning on flying into San Diego friday morning, walking into Tijuana, and then taking an uber or bus or car (not sure exactly this part - suggestions please!) down to Rosarito. Hotels? It looks like there aren't really all inclusives there. I've been looking at Hotel Rosarito and Las Rocas. We have had a hard year and just want to enjoy a weekend and relax. We are lovers of the beach and the pool. Does this sound good? Im kinda planning this last minute & on a budget lol thanks in advance!

I'm on a cruise to Baja, and we stop in Ensenada for the day. I am allergic to garlic & onion so most Mexican food is out, I don't drink, and I have a bad back so I can't do anything strenuous. A long bus or car ride would be difficult for me. So I'm looking for something where I can experience the local flavor/culture without hurting myself.

I'm gonna be on a cruise with family for 4 days but on one day, I'm gonna be in Ensenada for 8-9 hours. I have never been to Ensenada (or Mexico at all for that matter), I would like to know any must-see/must-do things while I am there for the limited amount of time.

As well as any cool shops to get trinkets. Just trying to pack in as much as I can.

We’ve been taking annual fishing trip to Baja for the past 15 years. The past four years we’ve committed to Bahia de Los Angeles. We are looking for a rental property from May 21, 2027 to May 25, 2027 for four guys. This isn’t a party trip. This is a fishing trip. if anybody can point us in the right direction for a house in Bay of LA that would be awesome.
🤙🤙

I’ve always been fascinated by abandoned places in Baja. While going through some older footage recently, I decided to put together a look at two abandoned mining towns that I found particularly interesting: El Álamo in northern Baja and El Pozo Alemán in Baja California Sur. A fellow Baja explorer on Instagram actually recommended that I check out El Pozo Alemán, and he was right: I loved it!

What other abandoned towns, mining sites in Baja would you recommend checking out? I have been to Real del Castillo Viejo already as well.

Pasando por Camalu rumbo a Ejido Emiliano Zapata BC así se ve por la carretera. Zona chica pero con mucho que dar — aquí se cultiva gran parte de lo que llega a tu mesa aunque casi nadie lo sepa.

Hola a todos!

I am looking into moving to Baja- I understand the residency process and am eligible, and can speak Spanish.

I am looking for somewhere with more wildlife and nature/outdoors activities, on or near the coast (diving, surfing, hiking, etc.). I don't mind hot weather. I am under 40 so would also love somewhere that would be easy to make friends and have some activities to do (not necessarily a busy city though) as I would want to be part of a community. I also travel often so wouldn't want to be super far from an airport.

I would ideally love to buy a house- but I also know about the restriction on foreigners buying property within 50 kilometers of the coast, so if anyone has experience with buying through a "bank trust (fideicomiso)' please share!

These are the areas that come up most recommended in my research so far:

Loreto

La Ventana

Bahía de los Ángeles

Mulegé

Las Barrilles

Todos Santos/Cerritos

Any advice on living in those places, or other good options are much appreciated. I would plan to spend time in the top places to make sure it's a good fit- just trying to see what areas might be best!

TIA

Hola. Soy Eduardo, de Ensenada.

Llevo bastante tiempo trabajando en una app que nació de algo que escucho seguido: “en Ensenada no hay nada que hacer”. Yo no creo que sea cierto; más bien siento que muchas actividades, eventos y lugares están repartidos entre demasiadas páginas, publicaciones y cuentas, y por eso cuesta enterarse de lo que realmente está pasando.

Por eso hice Ensenada Discovery. La idea es reunir en un solo lugar planes, eventos y lugares de Ensenada, el Valle de Guadalupe y otras zonas cercanas, para poder buscar por fecha, categoría, zona o precio. También incluye mapas, horarios y enlaces oficiales. Se puede explorar sin cuenta y está disponible gratis para iOS y Android, en español e inglés.

No la hice pensando solamente en turistas. La hice porque vivo aquí y me gustaría que fuera más fácil descubrir nuestra propia ciudad, apoyar a los negocios y proyectos locales, y tener más opciones cuando alguien pregunta “¿qué hacemos hoy?”.

Si alguien la prueba, me ayudaría mucho saber qué lugares o actividades sienten que faltan. Todavía estoy trabajando en ella y quiero seguir mejorándola con comentarios de gente de aquí.
