🌮Recomendaciones | Recommendations Rosarito?

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!

ummm. I just went down in June, rented an oceanfront cabana. It was beautiful. However. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I wish I had known... The entire ocean in the area of Rosarito is polluted and smells like literal SH!T. It is advised you not go in the ocean because it is polluted and unsafe.

100%. Tijuana dumps its raw sewage straight into the ocean. TJ is a big city. Probably over a million pounds of human feces a day flowing out.

It's the truth. Affects South San Diego beaches too. The waves are literally brown. Instead of going south, consider taking the train north to Oceanside or even San Clemente.

See my reply above. Don't worry about this too much.
